It's Girl Scouts cookie contest time!! I'm cooking with cookies! I feel I have crossed a MAJOR milestone in my life. I had a box of Girl Scouts Samoas in my cupboard for a week and managed not to consume the entire thing. In my opinion, Samoas are the perfect food. Shortbready cookie, caramel, coconut… Continue reading Samoas S’more Rolls

Mango Guacamole
The title says everything you need to know. Say it slowly with me. Mango. Guacamole. Feel the words as they bounce from your lips. Mango. Sweet, light, tropical. Guacamole. Rich, creamy, delicious. Now put them together. You know it's going to be unbelievable. And it is. No matter how much I tried, I could not… Continue reading Mango Guacamole
Broccoli Beef
Who knew homemade Chinese food was so simple and delicious? I'm a big fan of the little boxes take-out Chinese comes in, but I generally stick to chicken dishes when ordering out because the "steak" always looks a little off to me. I've had a hankerin' for some broccoli beef for a while now and… Continue reading Broccoli Beef

I like to go all out on Saturday mornings.

Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
I was having a serious sugar craving today. Epic proportions. I actually considered heading to the garage to raid the hidden cauldron of leftover Halloween candy. What? You don't keep the leftover unwanted chocolate for a sweet tooth attack? Just in case? No? That's just me? Oh. Well, forget I mentioned it then. Aside from… Continue reading Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Am I the only one who always always always gains weight between November and January? It's very irritating. You'd think with as many treats as I make all year-long, my body would be accustomed to constantly noshing on goodies. But no. Hello spare tire. Back again? Wonderful. Just in time for 1000 pictures with family… Continue reading Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
37° and raining. That's the forecast for the next week or so here in Seattle. Yuck. If it's going to be that cold, it needs to be snowing. Huge pillowy flakes dumping from the sky. Fluffy mounds of white happiness. That's what I'd like. Come on! The current weather conditions called for drastic measures in… Continue reading Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
I love throwing Halloween parties. Mostly because I get to make delicious food and give it disgusting names. Here's a round-up of all the deliciousness I made this year and the nastiness I called it.
