I hate onions. Well, kinda. Somehow, the girl who orders her enchiladas and burritos and chili dogs and hamburgers and salads without onions… loves onion rings. And onion dip. With potato chips, which I also normally don’t like. It’s an enigma. But, while I can’t explain it, I can embrace it. And I figured that […]
I’m sure all you romantics, lover of hearts, and wearers of pink and red are well aware, but Valentine’s Day is coming. Like, soon. I’m going to have a new recipe or two for you before then, but in the meantime I wanted to call attention to a few recipes you might enjoy: –Ombre heart […]
ZOMG you guys. I’m so sorry. Work has been supercrazytown recently (I got to go to Europe, which was amazing, but also nuts, and then like 17 more things happened), and of course we had a Super Bowl party… we just didn’t decide to have it until like four days before. So… yeah. I’ll have […]
I think you’re all aware that I adore marshmallows. And I had been wanting to make my own for quite a while, but I was a bit intimidated by the possibility of sticky, gooey strands of sugar attacking my entire kitchen.

How’s 2013 going so far? It’s been a tiny bit warmer in DC this week, but it’s still too cold for me. Especially when I’m running outside in the dark (with a supremely dorky head lamp). Perhaps some curry-spiced veggie burgers with grilled pineapple will help? I saw this recipe on Pinterest (it’s from […]
There’s a lot of football on these days, but if you’re like me, you may be looking for something a little less gluttonous to snack on while you scream at the TV. So, how about some spinach and artichoke dip, minus some of the fat? I found this recipe in an awesome cookbook I […]
I unabashedly love grilled cheese. But a year of grilled cheeses (and frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles) from the cafe on the first floor of one of the Senate office buildings wreaked havoc on my figure, so I needed to cut back. And now I work in the Pentagon, which is completely devoid of acceptable […]
In case you’re unaware (e.g. you live north of the Mason-Dixon line), tomorrow is the SEC Championship game. That’s Southeastern Conference, not the Securities and Exchange Commission. Anyway, Georgia is playing Alabama… which means we will be putting on our red and black and barking at the television tomorrow. If you’re cheering for the Bulldogs, […]
Cranberries may be my favorite part of Thanksgiving, but they certainly aren’t the only exciting dish on the table. Sweet potatoes are also a crucial part of the feast for me, particularly when topped with marshmallows. Growing up, the only kind of sweet potatoes I remember eating is the (fabulous) kind my mom made — […]
