Caramelized Onion and Garlic Bread. Who ever thought that garlic bread could get even better? A sweet garlic-onion-herb butter is smeared over spongy ciabatta, hit with plenty of parmesan, and baked until beautifully browned.

5 Ingredient Nutella Banana Bread
What do you get when your boyfriend insists that he’ll eat an impossible amount of fruit every time you go grocery shopping, but then it sits out on the counter, untouched? Fruit flies!

Dubliner-Dill Skillet Irish Soda Bread
I’m about to reveal something pretty controversial, so hold on to your seat belts. …I think raisins RUIN perfectly good soda bread. It’s true. I like my crumbly, dense, delicious soda bread to be savory and buttery and definitely not filled with little sugar-bombs of wrinkly, dried grapes. Alas, every option I’ve seen at the grocery store…
Italian Style Stuffing

I’ll make myself this Spinach and Artichoke Dip…
Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Pull-Apart Garlic Knots
It’s 2015, so I finally decided I should start using that personal twitter account I created 4 years ago. Now I’m sucked in– I think it was the Foodie Band Name hashtag that sealed my fate. I used to tell everyone that I didn’t use twitter because I just didn’t get it, but I’m starting…
Nut-Crusted Fried Brie Bites
I don’t know about you, but I feel like there is not nearly enough cheese in the traditional Thanksgiving spread. Cheese, in all of its variations, definitely makes my “Grateful For:” list every year. As a result, I put cheese in my mashed potatoes, cheese in my dessert, and used warm, buttery, melted cheese as…

As I write this post, there is a photo over on the right-hand side of the blog, staring me in the face, right down into the depths of my soul. It’s a photo that I am totally not proud of in any way, shape or form. It’s a photo that I have GOT to get…
