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 »

Easy Veggie Dip

July 7, 2015 Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Did y’all have a good holiday weekend? Dan and I did! To get our weekend started off with a bang, we let ourselves get talked into a midnight 5K in the city with our friends Liz and Scott (Liz…you definitely owe me a trip to the suburbs for this). This led to much…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 »

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 »

Snacktastic Sundays: Hot & Sticky Crock Pot Chicken

October 12, 2014 20 Comments

Today’s post is brought to you by virtue of the fact that every other game day snack I tried to cook this afternoon either (1) didn’t happen or (2) got horribly botched. First, I tried to make Carla Hall’s Hot Fried Chicken. Things were going great, and my chicken was brining happily in the fridge,…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Classic Pigs-in-a-Blanket

October 5, 2014 2 Comments

Now that it’s fall and we’re well into football season, I’ve decided to start a new weekly blog series. I’ll call it Snacktastic Sundays (it’s a working title), and feature one new game day snack recipe per week. On Sundays, obviously, ‘cuz that’s when all the big football action goes down. I guess technically there are football games on Mondays…read more »

Pretzel Bites with Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip

September 15, 2014 18 Comments

Fall is almost here, and as I mentioned before I’m looking forward to a whole bunch of fall-related things. In no particular order, I am excited for: fluffy sweaters, apple picking, camp fires, crisp mornings/evenings, all things s’mores-related, root vegetables, apple pie, red/gold leaves, crunchy leaf piles, hot apple cider, Halloween, camping/hiking (we do this in…read more »

Thirsty Thursdays: Tinto de Verano

August 28, 2014 7 Comments

Happy Thursday, everyone! It’s been a while, but I’m finally back with a Thirsty Thursday drink post, and y’all…it’s a good one. Tinto de Verano! Ever heard of it? Me neither! Until a few months ago, when we were at a tapas bar, and my friend Amy told us about the summer she spent living with…read more »
