Honey Lemon Chiffon Pie
Well I'll bee damned. I've gotta tell you, I said "this probably isn't going to turn out" to myself at least 17 times as I made this pie. But much to my surprise, the bees wound up looking like bees, the honeycomb pattern looked like honeycomb, the filling set to an awesome consistency, and the Honey...

Baked Boneless Wings 4 Ways
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, I've been craving one thing for weeks: wings. Or more accurately, boneless wings, which aren't really chicken wings at all-- they're chunks of chicken breast which are prepared in the traditional wing fashion. That is to say that they're crispy and coated with flavorful sauce, but with...
Make-Ahead Rosemary Sweet Potato Rolls
One of the most universally loved dining-out experiences has to be when your waiter unexpectedly brings out a basket of freshly baked rolls, right?

Honey Dijon Chicken Cheesesteaks on Pretzel Rolls
My mom is not a big eater. She is perfectly content having salad for dinner most nights, and she sticks to small portion sizes when she eats anything else. I did not inherit my endless (and frighteningly insatiable) appetite from her. But sometimes she surprises me, like when I told her that she could have the first taste...
Crispy-Skinned Baked Chicken Wings + Honey Chipotle Garlic Sauce
I am not what we'd call "proper" when it comes to table manners. I rest my elbows on the table. I devour my dinner in record time. If I chew on gristle or bone, I'll stick my hands right in my mouth and pick it out without a second thought. When I eat, I can guarantee...
Maple Waffle Chicken Nuggets
People let me tell you 'bout my beeeest friend! I'm going through Amanda-withdrawal this week because my partner-in-crime is on vacation in Lake George. Well, "crime" might be a bit of an exaggeration. Our hang-out time usually consists of going grocery shopping together and complaining about all of the people who stop their carts in the...
Sweet and Spicy Pulled Pork with Honey Jalapeno Lime Slaw
It's under 10 degrees Fahrenheit in my area of the world right now, yet I've been inexplicably craving one of my favorite summer-time foods: pulled pork sandwiches. Maybe it's because I've been dreaming of days when it's warm enough to even consider going outside to barbecue, or maybe it's because I like my sandwiches with...
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...
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...
Mango and Blue Cheese Salad
“This piece is ugly. Eat it,” my boyfriend demanded as he cut up a fresh mango for me. “I don’t like mangoes,” I told him, and the ugly piece was offered to guests at my house until finally someone eagerly accepted—the only person who liked mangoes at all. Why was I adding mango to a...
