Toasted Tortellini with Pesto Cheese Fondue

So, I’m going to try to make this post a quick one for a couple of reasons: 1) I drank too much coffee this morning, and right now I am literally tensed and shaking at my desk due to what I can only...

Garlic-Rubbed Margherita Pizza Grilled Cheese

I’ve been alive for 24 Aprils now (my birthday is this month… yay? boo? I’m not sure how I feel about it), and I’m just finding out that April is National Grilled Cheese Month.  I don’t know why...

Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad

Cucumber Basil Gin and Tonic

I’m gonna be honest with you– I had a very tame weekend filled with tbs movie marathons, trying to get work done on my laptop, and fried foods. And even though I’m not leaving any crazy spree of...

Ultimate Herbed Garlic Bread Cheesesteaks

My two guiltiest of guilty pleasures are, without a doubt, toasted or crusty bread and massive amounts of cheese.  I once read that Americans eat the weight equivalent of 72 Titanics in cheese in one...

Four Cheese Sausage & Spinach Lasanga

This is the last thing I made before burning the ever-loving you-know-what out of my fingers. About two weeks ago, I was making this Four Cheese Sausage and Spinach Lasagna and some Jack Daniels...

One Pot Greek Chicken Pasta with Creamy Feta Wine Sauce

Back when I was in college, my signature dish was Pasta Greco, an easy-to-make Greek-inspired pasta dish that I adapted from a local restaurant.  When James and I were in the wee-beginning of our...

Chicken Cacciatore

When I used to think “date night”, I didn’t think “chicken”.  Medium-rare steaks, juicy pork tenderloin, butter-drenched lobster; sure.  But chicken?  Nah.  It’s just too boring.  Too bland.  Not sexy...

Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Pull-Apart Garlic Knots

It’s 2015, so I finally decided I should start using that personal twitter account I created 4 years ago.  Now I’m sucked in– I think it was the Foodie Band Name hashtag that sealed my fate.  I used to...

One Pot Pesto Carbonara

Looking outside, I can hardly tell it’s spring. The sky is grey, the grass is brownish, and the trees are still barren. O Sunshine, where art thou? We get less and less “spring weather” here in Jersey...

Thai Basil Limeade

I really don’t feel like I have enough drink recipes on the blog, which is a shame because I love a really good beverage. In fact, I make a lot of drinks at home (and no, they aren’t all boozy) and I...

Sun-Dried Tomato Crusted Chicken with Goat Cheese and Herb Sauce

My little brother Mark– or maybe I should say my younger brother, as he’s not very little anymore– doesn’t fit the stereotype of the annoying bratty sibling. In fact, he’s pretty much the coolest kid–...
