I blame Pinterest for many things. Off the top of my head, here are a few. I can never again guiltlessly purchase the little tear apart Valentines and send my children to school with them. Every minor holiday must be celebrated as an over-the-top extravaganza with special breakfast food and remarkably adorable after school snacks.… Continue reading Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Chicken With Curried Cream Sauce
This recipe originally called for turkey, which immediately conjured up a quote from Bridget Jones' Diary in my head. "Once again I found myself on my own going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet." But you have to say "buffet" like Renée Zellweger does..."boo-fey". I have adored Renée since Jerry Maguire, but am I… Continue reading Chicken With Curried Cream Sauce
Beer Battered Shoestring Carrots
The only people I know who consider carrots a snack food are practically vegetarians. Sure, they are crunchy and pair perfectly with hummus. But really? I'd much rather be noshing on pretzels or chips. Carrots are not my first thought when deciding on a snack. You also probably never thought of them as pub (sorry,… Continue reading Beer Battered Shoestring Carrots
Baked Mashed Potatoes
Otherwise known as "The Most Awesome Potatoes Ever". Let me just say that I've tried to find a substitute for the gloriousness of potatoes. It just never works out. Kudos to you if roasted cauliflower has found a place in your heart where french fries used to live. I'm in awe of those who think… Continue reading Baked Mashed Potatoes

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
Fish Tacos with Tequila Lime Avocado Creme
I've tasted my fair share of fish tacos. It's my favorite tropical vacation food. These are the best ever. The thing that puts them on a different level from all others? The absolutely gorgeous and delicious avocado creme. Light with a hint of tequila and lime, it is the perfect base for deliciously seasoned Mahi… Continue reading Fish Tacos with Tequila Lime Avocado Creme
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
Eric A. Strata
Let me warn you right up front that for the next week or so, you'll be hearing a whole lot about my best friend Bethany. You may remember her from these Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes I made to say goodbye when she (sob) left me to move to Maui. Obviously there are benefits to her… Continue reading Eric A. Strata
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
