Hello all! We had a wonderful time (which I’ll tell you all about later this week), and it’s good to be back. This morning I had my booty kicked in my workout after a week off, I’m staring at a mountain of laundry, need to run to the grocery store and library, and have a…
Olive Cheese Bread
It would seem we’re all about dessert here this week. So sorry to break the trend, but I never was very trendy to begin with. Instead, you get olive cheese bread. Olive cheese bread is a revelation. Michael and I live in Hot-as-Blazes USA now, and when the temperatures stay in the triple digits (except…
Heirloom Tomato and Basil Bruschetta
I can hardly even think of the movie Julie & Julia without getting incredibly nostalgic and sentimental. Every time I watch it, I can hardly stand how much Meryl Streep’s Julia Child seems like someone I could be very good friends with. (*side note: I didn’t love the book as much. It wasn’t as sweet and…
Guacamole or “Man Avocados”
I am a lover of avocados. I really like them. A lot. We don’t eat them often because Michael has some texture issues. Despite his un-love for avocadoes, he has a lot of love for guacamole. This really didn’t make a lot of sense to me, so I asked him about it once. His answer…
Bacon Jalapeno Poppers
In my parents’ home and Michael’s parents’ home, the Christmas Eve tradition is to eat appetizers for dinner. There’s usually quite a spread and everything is delicious. It’s perfect, and is minimal fuss and effort. It’s our favorite meal of the year, hands down–more than Thanksgiving, birthdays, Easter, or any other holiday. For the past…
Cheddar and Pepper Gougeres
In case you were wondering what was perched on top of yesterday’s soup, I have the answer for you: Gougeres. I’ve had my eye on making some form of gougeres since New Years, when my incredibly talented uncle Sam brought two delicious versions for a party. They were so-o-o good. And, to be very honest,…
Homemade Ranch Dip (GF)
Michael and I had the chance to host my family for a few days earlier this month when they came down for a visit. Now, I don’t know if you know this about me, but I love cooking for people. Really. A lot. Anyway, I was really excited for them coming and was determined to…
Aunt Daryl’s Change-Your-Life Fruit Dip
I love fruit. Also dip. I’ve tried a lot of fruit dips–sour-cream based ones, marshmallow fluff ones, whipped cream ones, yogurt ones, etc. While all of these are good…I’ve never tasted a fruit dip that is as amazing as my Aunt Daryl’s. One word: Toffee. This creamy dip is best made the day before you’re…
