Mezze Party Platter
I almost flipped the whole damn table over on Friday night. James suggested that we do a date-night dinner this past weekend at our favorite little Turkish hole-in-the-wall and I was all about it. Partially because I am absolutely obsessed with the food there-- the creamy hummus, the crispy falafel, the warm pita bread, the butter-soft grilled meats, the...
Sheet Pan Thai Peanut-Chili Chicken
As a well-established one-pot recipe fanatic, it should come as no surprise that their oven-based brethren, sheet pan recipes, have found their way into my heart. Place veggies, meats, sauces, and more on one tray, then simply roast away? Yeah, you know I'm in.

Korean Chicken and Kimchi-Fried Rice Bowls
Can I just say (in-between mouthfuls) that I'm so happy no one can see me right now? You know, as I intermittently shovel forkfuls of leftovers into my face, spill grains all over the keyboard of my laptop, and, since we're being so candid, grunt like a hungry beast? Yes, I know that it's not lady-like. It's certainly...

What comes of these fearless forays into flavor-town? Sometimes it's...
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup
January is always a month of confusion for me-- How long will it take me to remember to write "/16" when I'm jotting down the date? When did it get so cold? When did my jeans get so snug? And on that note, will I flood the blog with healthy recipes? Or should I focus on fattier (and far...
Loaded Vegetable Lo Mein
There are times, like after a night out, a particularly miserable day, or a rough break-up, that I welcome the absolute lack of restraint that most takeout restaurants exhibit when it comes to salt, sugar and oil. Oh yes, nothing soothes a broken heart quite like massive amounts of some seriously artery-clogging cuisine. But for every day...
Jalapeno Pinto Bean "Hummus"
If you asked me to describe hummus, I'd tell you that it was a creamy dip made mainly of chickpeas and tahini. Yet here I am, calling this pinto bean and jalapeno-packed dip by that name, even though it has neither chickpeas nor tahini in it. What gives? Well, flavor and texture-wise, Jalapeno Pinto Bean...
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
There is not enough coffee in the world to save me today. I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday to get my cooking done (look out for the Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe coming up-- it should be illegal, it's so sinfully good) and then took a long, hurried drive/train ride to Newark for...

Shrimp Satay Skewer Shooters with Thai Spicy Peanut Sauce
On nights where I can't be bothered to cook, I begin to really miss college.
