So now that we’re into the second week of January we can go back to treating ourselves with indulgent food, right? I mean, I love me a green smoothie and these whole wheat banana muffins were a super great breakfast, but I am ready for some CHEESE! These super cheesy, super crispy, super amazing baked pimento cheese fries pretty…

Whole Wheat Banana Muffins
Man, is this the longest week or what? This first week back at work after holiday break has been really rough on me. We had really gotten into a nice relaxing groove, and it’s been kind of hard to get back into staring at a computer for 9 hours a day. I won’t lie, I…
Basic Green Smoothie
Happy New Year! How did you spend your holiday? We rang in the New Year with way too much delicious spicy Sichuan food and a bottle of sparkling French wine. The next day, with a mimosa in hand, I revamped my recipe index so it’s now mostly text-based, which I prefer over the visual index. I hope…
Nutella Mousse
You guys. This nutella mousse is kind of amazeballs. I love it. And you will too. I’m guessing many of you are probably feeling exhausted from all the shopping, wrapping, traveling, and baking you’ve been doing. And you could probably use a little treat. And I bet it’d be even better if it only took…
Chocolate Stout Cupcakes With Cookie Butter Frosting
It’s been a busy week here as I try to finish up my holiday shopping, finish up work before taking a holiday break, and try my best to watch as many holiday movies as I can think of. We’ve already watched Elf, Love Actually, and White Christmas and I’ve got Bridget Jones, Home Alone, Holiday…
Apple Cider And Rye Cocktail
This apple cider and rye cocktail was the first to disappear at our recent holiday party. Likely because it’s seasonally appropriate and goes down very easily! It’s also easy to make with ingredients you are likely to have at home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. I used Rittenhouse Rye in my drink, but you could use…
savory cheddar and sausage waffles
WAFFLES!! And not just regular waffles, these are savory waffles. Savory waffles with cheddar and sausage. YUM. Seriously. YUM. I went through a huge waffle phase a few years ago. I had just discovered Parks and Rec and binge watched the first three seasons in a matter of weeks. If you’ve never seen the show (and you should really…
Milk Punch
We kicked off holiday party season last night with a work party at my colleague’s house. This is something we’ve just recently started to do, and I think it’s a great way to celebrate and spend time with co-workers and their families outside of work. These parties tend to be a mix of catered main…
Chocolate And Mint Whoopie Pie
I don’t know what to do with myself this week. The weather keeps bouncing around between the low 30’s and the mid 50’s and I’m feeling annoyed. Be (almost) winter or be nothing! That’s what I would yell at the weather if I could. But clearly I can’t, and I probably should have accepted the…
Nutella Hot Chocolate
I hope everyone had a happy and delicious Thanksgiving. We ended up staying here in Boston and having an easy but tasty dinner for just the two of us (with this guy hovering for scraps). We love to host, but after three sets of friends and family visiting and staying at our place over a 5 week…
