PB&J Brownies
4 months. Depending on where you’re at in life, 4 months can feel quite different. As a kid, it was was an amount of time that wasn’t even fathomable. 4 months until Disneyland / summer vacation / insertcoolthinghere?? Uuuuuuugh. These days? Let’s put it this way: in seemingly no time at all, it’s been 4 months since my last […]
Pass the Prosciutto – Stuffed Prosciutto Meatballs with Cranberry Glaze
Sponsored Post I love a good appetizer. They set the mood for your tastebuds and get you excited for the meal to come. And if they’re wrapped in prosciutto, well… that’s just icing on the cake! Or ham on the meatball. Either way. These meatballs were crafted with Thanksgiving in mind. I stuffed some of […]
Liquid Gold – Mulled Pineapple Cocktail
It’s no secret that I love to throw a party, and a reason for celebrating is definitely not necessary. So when my copy of Winter Cocktails arrived in the mail, my excitement level was through the roof! It’s a gorgeous book full of party-friendly recipes from the ladies over at new-to-me blog Cookin’ and Shootin’. The book […]
End of Summer Empanadas
There are mere hours left of summer – according to the calendar, that is. But I’m going to keep eating tomatoes and corn until I explode or they disappear entirely from the produce section. Only time will tell. If you need one last summer veggie hurrah, I suggest you run out and grab some now (just […]
Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Green Gimlet
Sometimes I want a cocktail that’s on the savory side, but don’t quite feel up to tackling a meal-sized bloody mary. That’s where this Green Gimlet comes in. And for those wondering if that near radioactive green hue is the product of food coloring: nope! It’s alllll natural – a combination of lime juice, basil simple […]
Indian Spiced Chicken Wings
When it comes to food and holidays, are you a traditionalist or do you thrive on serving the unexpected? (Have I been watching too many Sex & the City marathons? I feel that question was worded in the style of Carrie Bradshaw…) Personally, I like to walk the line between the two worlds. Take Thanksgiving – […]
Spiced Mixed Nuts
Over the past several years, I’ve made an effort to cook from scratch as much as possible. This has lead to a growing number of pre-made, shortcut-type-shenanigans that I just don’t buy any more. Jarred pasta sauce comes to mind. In a pinch, sure I’ll grab some. But why spend $6 or $7 for what’s basically […]
Ginger Blood Orange Cocktail
I have a thing for ginger beer. I usually use it in cocktails (see here), and in fairly large quantities. But for this cocktail right hurr, I prefer just a splash. There is some delicious citrus action going on, and it would be a shame to hide it. Now, I feel I should warn you: this cocktail […]
Mini Corn Dogs from Tiny Food Party
When life gets crazy, it’s nice to have something to look forward to, no matter how tiny it may be. This September was just about the busiest month I’ve ever encountered (a close runner-up being the one when we moved to a new city and got married in the old city, in that order). I […]
