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 »

Blueberry Brie Pull Apart Bread

November 11, 2015 7 Comments

Are you guys suckers for commercials the way that I am? Dan always says that when he sees something ridiculous being advertised on TV, his first thought is “I bet Tina would like that.” Sadly, he’s not wrong…my mind is really susceptible to suggestion (and gimmicks…and jingles), you guys. As a food blogger, my favorite commercials are,…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 »

Fig, Bacon, and Honey-Goat Cheese Crostini

June 17, 2014 4 Comments

Today’s recipe is inspired by my friend (and super talented food blogger) Sarah, who recently posted a recipe for goat cheese stuffed figs with pancetta. She served them at a dinner party a few weeks ago, and her guests gobbled them up in record time. In fact, the figs barely made it out of the kitchen, ‘cuz our…read more »

Prosciutto-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

September 7, 2012 10 Comments

Another day, another football viewing snack recipe. And guys? These are the bomb. Sorry to get all ’90s on you, but it’s true. These poppers are amazingly tasty, and super addictive. These pictures don’t really capture all of the deliciousness — I got my eyes dilated an hour before I started cooking, and in case…read more »

Apple Goat Cheese Tarts

March 24, 2012 13 Comments

So, The Hunger Games movie premiered this week. Most. Exciting. News. Ever. I only discovered the books a few months ago but like most people I was hooked right away.  I tore through the series in about a week, and I’ve re-read all the books like 4 or 5 times in the last month alone….read more »

Crispy Bacon and Onion Wonton Flowers

October 13, 2011 6 Comments

OK, if you want to get really technical, these “flowers” are pretty much just bastardized crab rangoons without crab meat. I didn’t think that was an appropriate or appetizing title, though, so I fancied up the name a little. But, just as a rose by any other name smells as sweet, a rangoon by any…read more »
