Wine Slushie Pops

June 25, 2016 2 Comments

Summer is officially here, and it’s starting to get hot here in Virginia. Usually that means the start of cocktail season at our house, but now that I’m 30 my body suddenly won’t tolerate the endless stream of sugary, boozy beverages that I want to put into it. Acid reflux and hangovers – they’re no joke, you guys. So,…read more »

Blueberry Breakfast Cake with Lemon Yogurt Glaze

September 15, 2015 2 Comments

This was originally supposed to be a “Dan in the Kitchen” post, but the man in question decided he would rather watch me bake than actually do any baking himself. Still, he spent enough time hovering over my shoulder during the baking process – “supervising” and “quality checking”, he said – that it pretty much amounted to…read more »

Acai Bowls

August 17, 2015 4 Comments

When we were in the North Shore part of Oahu, we saw acai bowls being sold everywhere. It seemed like every beach we went to and every road we drove on had a food truck or three parked nearby advertising “fresh fruit” and “Acai Bowls”. (Also, shrimp – but that’s another recipe/post for another day.) And every single one of…read more »

Homemade Strawberry Jam

June 29, 2015 10 Comments

Hi guys! So uh…it’s been a long time since my last post, huh? A month and a half, to be precise. Sorry about that! At first I was planning to just take a break from posting for one weekend, but then things got really busy at work and I didn’t have any energy/desire to cook…read more »

Sunday Brunch: Lemon Blueberry Muffin Tops

April 12, 2015 8 Comments

I have a confession to make…we didn’t cook brunch this weekend. This post is a sham! Well, it’s technically not a sham in the sense that I did actually bake muffin tops this week…but it is a sham in the sense that I specifically made them on Friday night so that I could have a post…read more »

Sunday Brunch: Popovers & Blackberry Butter

March 22, 2015 12 Comments

Now that Spring is officially here, and the days are longer, brighter, and generally nicer, I’m determined to start making the most of our time outside of the office. Starting with the weekends. No more huddling on the couch for hours at a time, watching reruns of Deadwood (or Castle…or Big Bang Theory…), eating cold leftover…read more »

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes

February 11, 2015 20 Comments

Hey, remember when I tried to make these cupcakes last year, but they failed so hard that I had to turn them into cake balls instead? ‘Cuz the strawberry cream cheese frosting I made was too runny (damnit, strawberry puree), and the chocolate ganache I decided to pour on top of the runny frosting made things 100%…read more »

Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Mug Cakes

February 9, 2015 12 Comments

Today’s post was originally supposed to be a full-on cake, but by the time we got home from eating a ginormous lunch with my parents at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants, I was in way too deep of a food coma to do any sort of heavy duty baking. Too many servings of rice, salt & pepper pork, fried fish,…read more »

Strawberry Cream Pie Cups…and a Valentine’s Day GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED }

February 8, 2015 135 Comments

Now that the Super Bowl is behind us (wooo, Patriots!), we can finally stop putting all our energy into churning out game day munchies (until March Madness, anyway). It’s time, instead, to turn our culinary attentions to Valentine’s Day – otherwise known as everyone’s favorite excuse to eat chocolate and decadent desserts. This is the only time of year when it’s acceptable to…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Easy Chocolate Fruit Dip

January 18, 2015 12 Comments

Happy Sunday, everyone! Otherwise known as “OH MY GOD IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR FOOTBALL” day here in our house. In case you’re wondering, that’s all Dan. He’s been bellowing “TINA! Why isn’t it Sunday yet?!?! I want to watch footballllll!!!!” (basically verbatim) since Monday. Monday. As you can imagine, it’s been a fun week for me. Football season is great….read more »
