Tomato & Pesto Bruschetta Bites

December 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

You guys – it’s December already. It’s true. Temperatures have dropped, there are twinkle lights on all the trees outside, everyone has a wreath on their door, peppermint-flavored things have started showing up on menus, and my Instagram feed has exploded with pictures of Christmas trees/gingerbread everything/sparkly ornaments/babies crying in Santa’s lap. Normally, all these…read more »

Grilled Nectarine, Burrata & Prosciutto Crostini

July 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

Guys, the heat and humidity in Virginia this past week has been INSANE. When I checked my weather app at 6am yesterday, the humidity indicator was already at 96%. I’m not a metereologist or anything, but I’m pretty sure that means we’re basically moving through water at that point. Or at least that’s how it feels. On…read more »

How to Make an Epic Valentine’s Day Cheese Board + Dark Chocolate-Chili Ganache

February 9, 2016 6 Comments

In the last few years, I’ve really became a fan of cheese boards for my dinner parties. They’re the perfect appetizer and mood setter – a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, there’s something for everyone, each bite is totally customizable by the eater, and nothing is so filling that your guests’ appetites will be spoiled….read more »

Shrimp Po’ Boy Loaded Fries

February 5, 2016 2 Comments

Ah, the humble potato. Beloved of people…everywhere, really. Delicious, nutritious, versatile – truly, there has never been a more perfect food. Fry ’em, bake ’em, boil and/or mash them – short of burning them to a crisp, there is literally (in my opinion) no way for you to make a potato un-appealing. And did you know that they’re good…read more »

BLT Deviled Eggs

September 21, 2015 2 Comments

This weekend I learned that I’ve been making hard-boiled eggs wrong my whole life. Did you know that you’re not supposed to just boil the crap out of eggs for 15 straight minutes? News to me! Apparently, the proper way to do it is to place your raw eggs in a pot with room temperature water,…read more »

Scallion Pancakes

March 3, 2015 6 Comments

Super super short post today, guys. ‘Cuz it’s my blog, and I’ll slack off if I want to. Also, blogger burn out- am I right, Sarah/Jennifer/Carla? *Wink* The only things you need to know about this recipe: It’s super delicious – salty, scallion-y perfection. So many flaky layers. 100% improvement over my old scallion pancakes…read more »

Confetti Salsa

January 31, 2015 6 Comments

Guys – I’ve got one last post for you before the Super Bowl, and it’s going to be a short one. Partly because I’m feeling lazy, and partly because I was in a rush with my picture-taking so most of them didn’t turn out that well. Oh well – you win some, you lose some. Anyway! Today’s recipe comes…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers

December 21, 2014 6 Comments

Short Snacktastic Sundays post today, folks! We were headed to Brad and Amy’s new place to watch the Patriot’s/Jets game at 1pm, and things were running a little behind schedule. Despite getting up at 8:30am today, I somehow didn’t make it into the kitchen until 11:30am (isn’t it crazy how time just disappears on the weekend?). I…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Marinated Mozzarella Bites

November 23, 2014 11 Comments

Guys, I did an insane amount of cooking this weekend. With Thanksgiving almost literally upon us, I wanted to put together a Turkey Day recipe round up post. Suggested appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts, etc. – you know the drill. BUT, I discovered, to my surprise (and dismay), that I have almost no side dishes in my archives. Are…read more »
