I go to barbecues and shovel pasta salad in my mouth like it’s going out of style. Seriously, I load up with enough dressing-doused noodles to make my paper plate sag down in the middle, and then I go back for seconds. And thirds. I love the stuff. For obvious reasons, pasta salad has been…
Three Cheese Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
I’m sad to say that there was a point in my life when I hated Mac n’ Cheese. Doesn’t that make you sad for my childhood? Oh, the wasted years! For much of my life, I didn’t realize that there was anything else out there other than the watery, powder-made instant cheese sauce from a box. No…
Fried Pickle Poppers
As a “northerner”, there are a lot of foods that I feel it took me far too long to discover. I’ve fallen in love with BBQ brisket, pecan pie, collard greens, fried green tomatoes, and chicken fried steak all within the past few years. There’s no denying that there’s some delicious dishes to be had…
Crispy Sea Salt and Vinegar Roasted Potatoes
Ever since making the Crispy-Outside Creamy-Inside Garlic Herb Potatoes, I have been totally and utterly obsessed with making the perfect potato side dishes. When done properly, potatoes can actually be the stars of your meal, and they fly off the plate like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Especially if that plate happens to be placed…
Birthday Cake Remix Brownies
When I was in high school, I worked in a pretty pathetic mall (there were like 3 stores in the place that stayed open for more than a month) at an Auntie Anne’s. There was honestly no reason to visit that mall unless you wanted a pretzel or ice cream. No reason at all. But in…
Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Lime Tahini and Crunchy Guacamole
I can’t decide whether to tell you guys about these Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Lime Tahini and Crunchy Guacamole first, or if I should tell you about the bear. Should I go with the bear story? I’ll go with the bear story. So, a bit of background: I really love animals, especially when I…
Zucchini, Feta, and Spinach Fritters with Garlic Tzatziki
You know how I said that the garlicky tzatziki from those Loaded Greek Chicken Pitzas was addictive? Well, I made these fritters just so I could slather them in that sauce. The Zucchini, Feta, and Spinach Fritters turned out amazingly, by the way. The taste almost reminded me of Spanakopita, but with the added mild flavor of grated zucchini,…
Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad
According to the calendar, there are 18 days left until summer. But today I drove to work with my sunglasses on and windows down (I keep saying it, but I really need to get my air conditioner fixed), and it was already 75 degrees out as I drank my morning coffee. Iced coffee. I can’t mess around with…
Lemon Ricotta Poppy Seed Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
Sunday is Mother’s Day, and I’m celebrating (or rather, cooking for Momma Bear) early just to make sure you’ve got this recipe in time. I’ve heard that moms love breakfast in bed. Well, everyone loves breakfast in bed, don’t they? There’s nothing like showing someone how much you care by starting their day with a big,…
Homemade Flour Tortillas
If there is, in fact, a “wrong way” to live, then I’ve been doing it wrong for years. Okay, that might be a little excessive, but the fact that I’ve been using store bought tortillas my whole life just feels so wrong now. If you’ve never had homemade flour tortillas, let me tell you, it’s amazing…
Skillet Scalloped Potatoes
Put some cheese-covered carbs in front of me, and I get weak in the knees. You could serve up pasta with Parmesan, mac and cheese, or crusty bread with melted mozzarella, and I would dive in face-first with reckless abandon. Cheesy carbs of any sort are just my thang… but the true obliterator of any…
Carrot Cake Cheesecake
As I mentioned in the last post, my birthday is this month! More specifically, it’s in just over a week, and Easter happens to fall on it this year. But what does one do to celebrate when they turn 24? I have no idea. I should probably figure that out and plan accordingly. (I won’t…
Garlic-Rubbed Margherita Pizza Grilled Cheese
I’ve been alive for 24 Aprils now (my birthday is this month… yay? boo? I’m not sure how I feel about it), and I’m just finding out that April is National Grilled Cheese Month. I don’t know why exactly it is that there are food-related holidays, but this is one I can definitely get behind. Especially if…
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…
Baba Ghanoush (Roasted Eggplant Dip)
A few weeks ago, in the Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Piccata post, I mentioned that James and I went on a trip to DC because he won an online poker tournament. What I didn’t have a chance to mention mention is that while we were down there, we had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant called…
Cinnamon Bun Popcorn
WARNING: Unless you’re planning on a) having company over or b) giving the Cinnamon Bun Popcorn out as a gift, do not make this. You will eat it all. It very well might be the most addictive snack of all time. Who can resist buttery, cinnamon-sugary popcorn with a few pecans mixed in…
