Turkey Fried Rice with Crushed Potato Chips

Turkey Fried Rice with Crushed Potato Chips

Do you guys watch Top Chef? If so, you may remember Angelo from the season in D.C. (and All Stars too, I think). He was all about Asian-inspired cuisine, and though his giant ego made him a bit tough... Continue reading »

Mint Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies

Mint Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies

Last week I stopped by the library to pick up a book I'd requested that had recently come in (this one, if you're curious). I was running a ton of errands that day so the plan was a quick hit and run... Continue reading »

Asparagus and Gruyère Frittata

Asparagus and Gruyère Frittata

I made this, my very first frittata, for our Mother's Day brunch a few weekends ago. Initially I had considered a quiche, but didn't feel like making a crust so the frittata was my Plan B. Had I... Continue reading »

Coffee-Rubbed Cheeseburgers with Texas Barbecue Sauce

Coffee-Rubbed Cheeseburgers with Texas Barbecue Sauce

For the longest time, the only ground meat I ever bought was turkey. I always substituted in recipes calling for ground beef, and it never bothered us because we really didn't know what we were... Continue reading »

Fresh Lime Sherbet

Fresh Lime Sherbet

Every week when I sit down to make the grocery list, I ask Shane what he needs, and one of the first things out of his mouth is always ice cream. It's his dessert of choice, and whether it's homemade... Continue reading »

Blackberry Crumb Muffins

Blackberry Crumb Muffins

When I was shopping for our Mother's Day brunch last weekend, I really wanted to buy fresh fruit to serve with yogurt and granola. In my ideal world, I would have stocked up on strawberries,... Continue reading »

Cheesy Meatloaf Minis

Cheesy Meatloaf Minis

What is it they say - April showers bring May flowers? In our case, April brought unseasonably warm weather and very little rain, which has been followed up by a super rainy May. Like three straight... Continue reading »

New York-Style Crumb Cake

New York-Style Crumb Cake

We hosted brunch last weekend to celebrate Mother's Day, and as usual, I fretted way too much over the menu. I love entertaining, but trying to narrow down all of the ideas in my head into a cohesive... Continue reading »

Chipotle Pork

I'm meeting up with a friend later today for a long overdue movie date, and I'm so excited for a little girl time! We're finally going to see The Hunger Games, and though I've heard some mixed... Continue reading »

Thousand-Layer Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thousand-Layer Chocolate Chip Cookies

As I've mentioned before, I record Martha Stewart's show every day. I rarely have the time to watch every minute of every episode though, so instead I fast forward through to the segments that... Continue reading »

Make-Ahead Mini Beef and Cheese Empanadas

Make-Ahead Mini Beef and Cheese Empanadas

I only have one rule when it comes to dinner on Friday: I don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make it happen. Sometimes that means we'll pick up take-out, but most of the time I still... Continue reading »

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

I've been itching to make these cinnamon raisin bagels for quite some time. In years past, I'd attempted plain and whole wheat, but all along I had my eye on the ultimate goal - this recipe right... Continue reading »

Spicy Poblano Burgers with Chipotle Cream

Spicy Poblano Burgers with Chipotle Cream

I am a huge wimp when it comes to spicy food. Aside from the occasional buffalo wing (and even then I always choose the mild sauce when given the option), I almost never order anything spicy at a... Continue reading »

Fudge-Glazed Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Fudge-Glazed Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

I'm powerless to resist the lure of any dessert combining peanut butter and chocolate. It's simple, it's classic, and in my opinion, it's the best! :) Under normal circumstances, I probably would... Continue reading »

Orange Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs

After 6 straight days of damp rainy weather, I was so ready for the sun to come out this weekend, and though I had to wait until Sunday for it to happen, it was one of the best weekends we've had in... Continue reading »

Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper

As you guys read this, we are probably already up and on our way to Providence. It was an early start (chances of seeing the sun rise: very high) because today Shane is running in the Cox Sports... Continue reading »

Cinnamon Chocolate Churro Cupcakes

Cinnamon Chocolate Churro Cupcakes

I had the most difficult time trying to decide on an appropriately festive Cinco de Mayo dessert for today's post. I've already blogged a lot of the classics so those were out. I considered ditching... Continue reading »

Tequila-Orange Grilled Shrimp

Tequila-Orange Grilled Shrimp

Shrimp isn't my favorite seafood to eat, but it's my favorite to buy. And by favorite, I mean least stressful. I know the "rules" about buying shrimp so it's quick and easy to pick out what I want... Continue reading »

Blueberry-Cream Cheese Hand Pies

Blueberry-Cream Cheese Hand Pies

When we bought our house and moved into the neighborhood several years ago, our neighbors dropped by to introduce themselves and they brought a blueberry pie. Shane doesn't like blueberries so I was... Continue reading »
