Now, this movie was before my time, but my mom had the soundtrack on cassette tape and my sister and I used to make up a bajillion dances to it in our backyard. […]

Can you say “Yum”? This Brandy Spiked Chocolate Eggnog Cake was my most popular recipe of 2011 and was featured on WordPress.com’s Freshly Pressed. Seems like people really like a boozy dessert, eh?

Ginger Molasses Thumbprint Cookies I have been dying to try out my own version of a ginger molasses cookie for years. Seriously, years. For some reason, I thought this was going to be a very daunting task, but it wasn’t! And as soon as I had the idea to turn them into thumbprint cookies filled […]

Sesame & Wasabi Seared Tuna Seared Tuna is always one of my favorite things to get when I go to any restaurant. I always know it’s going to be light, healthy, refreshing, and very high in protein.

I’ve already Christmas-themed my website, put up all of my decorations (I’m getting a tree on Thursday! Wahoo!), and last night I watched Home Alone. Love! Yesterday I went to Bed Bath and Beyond […]

Cranberry Walnut Butternut and Brussels  I’m making these for Thanksgiving. So there. I’ve got a family full of Brussels Sprouts skeptics and I’m about to blow their minds! Turn them into to true believers, so to speak. I know that for some, it’s pretty hard to believe, but Brussels Sprouts can be so tasty. These […]
