Yesterday I cried at Starbucks. Not like a little whimper, I’m talking full on sob-crying with little pools of tears collecting on the lid of my coffee. It was not my finest moment, guys. Not my finest moment at all. I’m pretty sure James was contemplating running for the hills and never looking back.
Pecan Crusted Cajun Catfish with Maple Dijon Sauce
I don’t have many fish recipes up on the blog because, honestly, I’m not a huge fan. There have been very few times that I’ve eaten fish and enjoyed it, or at least not thought, “This would be even better if it was chicken.” In fact, there’s only been one fish dish that I can…
Toasted Tortellini with Pesto Cheese Fondue
So, I’m going to try to make this post a quick one for a couple of reasons: 1) I drank too much coffee this morning, and right now I am literally tensed and shaking at my desk due to what I can only assume is caffiene-overload. I also feel an extreme desire– no, overwhelming need–to accomplish…
Roasted Honey Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pomegranate Seeds
Seeing as it’s getting to be “that time of the year”, I feel like I should let you know about one thing I’m particularly thankful for: the fact that I never was served brussels sprouts as a kid. I don’t know what it is about parents, but they seem to go through a phase once…
Baked Pulled Pork Egg Rolls
Ever since my trip to North Carolina, I can’t get two things out of my head: one, I really miss my cousin and wish we lived closer to each other (cue “d’awww”s), and two, I am developing an unhealthy obsession with pulled pork. When I say “unhealthy obsession”, I mean that I’ve been…
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…
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…
(Secretly Healthy) Baked Mac n’ Cheese
I know what you’re thinking. “Morgan, how could you? At the peak of swimsuit season, you show me this? I thought we were friends!” I know. I know. Delicious little macaroni noodles all slathered in melted cheese, topped with toasted breadcrumbs– it’s not exactly the kind of slim-down food that most of us are wishing…
Hummus Crusted Chicken
If you’re one of the people who realized off the bat that this is a healthy recipe and said, “No way; That’s just not for me,” I have to advise you to reconsider. One, this tastes great. Two, it’s quick to put together. Three, it’s easy to put together. Four, a fourth point shouldn’t be…
Greek Turkey Burger with Feta-Yogurt Sauce
I know I’m pretty all over the place with my choices of what kind of recipes to put together for this blog. As much as I try to establish rhyme or reason for my food-posting patterns, it just doesn’t happen. I’m sure you’ve noticed that in a week I can go from posting something seasonal…
Baked Bloomin’ Onion
Some of the best things in life are the worst for you. There are few things that can be compared on a level of immediate satisfaction to a heaping portion of warm, fudgy brownies with vanilla ice cream, or the lovely flavor of bacon-wrapped-anything, or the texture of crunchy deep fried onions with creamy dipping…
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) If you read the Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins post, you already know that I have a tendency to let my mind create some pretty intense recipes. This is one of them.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) So you love to serve buffalo chicken at your football gatherings? Well ditch the messy wings with dozens of bones and greasy fingers (which of course wind up being wiped on pillows and pant legs by the less cleanly guests) and try this cheesy, flavorful…
