Depending on how long you've been hangin' 'round here, you may or may not remember my Buffalo Chicken Extravaganza last year. Basically, when the Super Bowl was drawing near, I went absolutely balls-to-the-wall, full-speed-ahead into buffalo chicken territory. Afterwards, I vowed to lay off of the buffalo chicken for about a year, and I almost...

Blue Cheese Garlic Beer Bread
Now that the cold weather has finally kicked in, most people are dreaming about baking up cookies, apple creations, and pumpkin masterpieces. You can definitely lump me in with that bunch-- my kitchen has been smelling like brown sugar and cinnamon for the past several weeks now, and there's no sign of it stopping any...
French Onion Soup Sticks
Meet my new favorite fall food. I was looking over my collection of "must make" recipe ideas the other day when I realized I still hadn't tackled the "French Onion Soup, but not soup" request that has been sitting on the top of the list for almost a year now. It's probably been...
Bacon Blue Cheese Burger Skins
For 22 years of my life, I avoided blue cheese like the plague. I don't know why I refused to try it. I don't know what made me decide that I'd despise it. All I know is that, for the large majority of my life, I deprived myself of one of the most enjoyable flavors...
Spicy Pork Bulgogi Sliders
It's not often that you see Asian food gracing tables or tailgates once football season begins. There are hamburgers, hot dogs, wings, pizza, 7 layer dip, and of course, plenty of beer, but nothing to represent the world's largest continent. I, for one, think that this is a tragedy (okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but...
Breaded Italian Sausage Sandwiches with A'moigue and Roasted Red Pepper Relish
When I was of middle-school-age and the last day of school dragged on as though the teachers had unanimously decided to kill us with boredom, I would doodle little depictions of all of the exciting things I had to look forward to in the upcoming summer months. (I was a notorious side-margin-scribbling doodle-maniac, by the way. The...
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. Back then, I was young, impressionable, and a budding future food-fanatic, thanks to the many competing restaurants and extreme cultural diversity in the area. There was cuisine from nearly every country-- from Lebanon to Italy to Ethiopia-- and despite being...
Watermelon Bruschetta with Whipped Feta, Basil, and Balsamic Drizzle
As you might already know, this weekend James and I went to North Carolina to visit my cousin Ashley and her fiancé Evan, and just as I promised, you're going to hear a lot about it in the next few weeks, starting right now. First of all, let me just say that Mother Nature...
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Alfredo
If you were reading last week, you already know about my tendency to eat appetizers for dinner, which is exactly what inspired me to make this meal. Spinach and Artichoke Dip is up there on the all-time-appetizer-favorites list for pretty much everyone I know, including James, who claims to hate artichokes. Side note: I say...
Mexican Stuffed Peppers (Chorizo-Stuffed Poblanos)
I remade these Mexican Stuffed Peppers so that they're better than ever. Check out the new post, recipe, and photos HERE. This past weekend, James and I went to an awesome little barbecue place in his town and pigged out (see what I did there?). It was fantastic, and I've definitely been inspired for some future...
Southern Baked Chicken
It's been 2 weeks that I have been hiding this recipe from you and I'll tell you without hesitation that it has been down-right wrong of me to do so. Why? Because this recipe is up there on the list of my favorite things I've ever made. Far up there. Lately, I've been craving Southern...
Maryland Crab Cakes with Horseradish-Sriracha Remoulade
It all started about 2 months ago, when my good friend and past housemate (and avid reader of this blog-- hi, Rachel) mentioned that she wants to meet up at Chickie's & Pete's some day over the summer, which may or may not be my favorite sports bar due to it's abundance of shellfish, mollusks,...
Captain's Passion Punch
I originally had planned to start this off with a mention of the sudden shift we've had from freezing cold to sunny and 80-someodd degrees. We seem to have skipped spring all-together, I would have said, and bounded into the days of BBQs and backyard events. At least that's how it seemed last week when...
Feta, Red Pepper, and Herb Frittata
I'm pretty sure that no one will be shocked to hear that "Ramen Parties" were a weekly occurance throughout my sophomore year of college-- it being such a broke college cliche and all. You might, however, wonder what a Feta, Red Pepper, and Herb Frittata has to do with ramen noodles. Back in college, my...
(Esquites) Mexican Street Corn Salad
It's likely that I've been staring at an empty blog post box for an hour or so now. I can't be sure. It's almost 9PM [Edit: 11PM], and I'm absolutely out of it, guys. I really hate to be a complainer, but yesterday's hopefulness for better luck in May has disintegrated. Sunday was the car break-in....
Creamy Margarita Popsicles
They always say you should write about what you know. Well, I know how to put alcohol in anything. I learned a lot in college. Because I couldn't decide on a major for the longest time, I took classes in pretty much every subject out there. Everything from linguistics to psychology to art have been in my arsenal...
Chile Relleno
I'll cut to the chase: This is good. I mean, it's really good, the type of really good that makes it difficult for me to not leap out of my seat, speed off to the grocery store, and stock up on ingredients to make another batch. It's the type of Chile Relleno you find in...
Coco Pina Margarita
I have my first sunburn of the year, everyone. It's not of the same, near-watermelon pink fate that my boyfriend's poor skin endured, nor the kind that leaves uneven strips of ghostly white where sunglasses or tank top straps once rested. Still, it's there. Just barely. Really I do mean just barely, but there's...
German Rouladen
When I grow up, I’m going to be a paleontologist. That is what I would have told you when I was in grade school. (It was a slightly more attainable goal than the previous year’s career aspiration, which was to actually be a dinosaur.) I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and my room was...
Planter's Punch
I want to tell you about the sunshine we've had lately, but I already did. I want to tell you how amazing a Jamaican cocktail can make you feel on a beautiful day, but I already did. The Dark N' Stormy is an awesome drink that I just can't get enough of, but this time,...
3-Bite Jamaican Beef Patties
As much as I adore you-- and I promise I do-- I might have to sever all ties if you mention your future vacation plans to me one. more. time. Yes, that's right, I'm talking to you. All of you. I hate to admit it, but my stomach has been churning with jealousy lately,...
Simple Slow Cooker Shredded Buffalo Chicken
The Super Bowl is nearly here, which means it's time for football and, just as importantly, lots of food! Every year, I look forward to shoveling down some nachos, poppers, 'skins, and dip, but the greatest game day grub comes in the form of Buffalo Chicken. While most people think of Buffalo Chicken in its wing...
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) One of my favorite things to do when I'm thinking up recipes is to randomly combine things that I love. As I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series, I knew I wanted to make something that resembled a football. ...
S'mores Martini
S'mores Martini. This creamy, chocolatey cocktail tastes like a boozy version of your favorite campfire treat. I have been so tempted to say "bring the bonfire inside with these martinis" but I feel like I am opening myself up to lawsuits. So instead I'll say that this drink is like your favorite bonfire treat, but with...
Pretzel Rolls
Homemade Pretzel Rolls: soft on the inside, salty and chewy on the outside, and now better than ever! No lye necessary, these fluffy, perfectly browned, slider-sized pretzels are surprisingly easy to make. Fill them with ham and cheese, bratwurst, or even mini burgers. Hot. Tempting. Perfectly tanned. I'm talking about pretzels, ladies and gents. You’ve had...
