We’re staying in this New Year’s Eve and celebrating with a cozy, tasty steakhouse dinner. Last year we went to Bryant & Cooper and I have to say, I was unimpressed. It was fun getting out but my filet was not so great. Ruth’s Chris never disappoints so if you’re craving steak and don’t feel [...]

Oh, hello there. I didn’t see you. I was busy gazing at these babies. These are the perfect holiday party treat. They are easy to make and even easier to eat. My friends Matt and Shara (holla!) brought these to our 3rd Annual Fakesgiving and they were the hit of the party. I made [...]

Hey all – I’ve been a busy bee in the kitchen lately trying new some recipes and whipping up some of my favorites. Nothing original, just scouring the web and tweaking where necessary. I thought I’d share and hopefully inspire you to get your booty off the couch and in the kitchen! Ina Garten’s Roasted [...]

Who doesn’t love the good old Lipton Onion Soup Mix packet o’powder for some onion dip? I know I do! But as I was browsing through the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, I saw a recipe for Pan Fried Onion Dip. Hmmmmm…could it be better than the powder? As I found out today, YES! Ingredients: 2 large [...]

I used to fear cooking a whole chicken. Not anymore! While I’m still a novice at carving it (I am getting better), the cooking part couldn’t be easier. What has become a nearly weekly meal in my house is Barefoot Contessa’s Lemon Chicken with Croutons. The prep takes all of five or ten minutes and [...]
Cheddar Corn Chowder – OMG

Yeah, I said OMG. This soup is that good. While it’s not difficult, it does take a fair amount of prep work so do all your chopping ahead of time. I also added chicken to make this more of a substantial meal. I roasted two split chicken breasts at 375 for 35 minutes and chopped [...]
Chicken with Goat Cheese and Basil

One of the fastest, easiest meals to prepare is a split chicken breast stuffed with_______ (insert your favorite ingredients here). A split chicken breast is on the bone and roasting it that way helps keep the meat moist. Even if you’re being good and not eating the skin, it’s still important to buy the chicken [...]
A Tale of Two Dips

Last weekend I made two dips for a party: one high brow and one low brow. I love both so I’m sharing them with you! The first is a goat cheese and ricotta dip from Giada de Laurentiis. Don’t be scared by goat cheese – it’s good. My friend Erin served this at her apartment [...]
