I’m obsessed with this new eggplant dip I found at WF. It’s tangy and sooo good with sweet potato chips. I made Kath’s pumpkin meatloaf this week! Yes, it’s ugly, but that’s because I made a one-person portion [excuses] and just kinda formed it in one corner of the loaf pan. The upside was that all the sides were crunchy end pieces. I also added bourbon in place of the water in the sauce:) I loved the pumpkin sauce so…

I started to write ‘happy hump day’ and then realized it’s Thursday…yay for a weekend at home! After so much travel this summer, I’m craving low-key time at home more than ever and I’m excited to continue exploring Dallas on the weekends. Since a Trader Joe’s just opened here, I’ve been going almost every week. It’s weird how the stores are all slightly different – this one doesn’t have horseradish hummus! Anyway, a few weeks ago, I jumped on the…
My family has a cake problem. Yet we rarely bake them! I think the only from scratch cake I’ve ever made was this sorta silly looking heart for a friend’s engagement gathering. It tasted great though, I promise. Since my mom’s birthday was today and she had to work late into the evening, I knew she wasn’t expecting a cake. So I figured it was the perfect opportunity for me to whip one up and pop over to Hillsborough for…
After spending the day in the kitchen stuffing pies full of mint icing and taste-testing everything, I can’t wait to relax and watch the Superbowl. I’m really craving something savory. Go Ravens!…
You guys, I just went to a Fuqua Partners (that means significant others of business school students) cook-out and the desserts there were fabulous! I obv. brought cupcakes. It’s just so much more fun bringing sweets to a potluck and pictures of hamburgers are boring, so here’s what I had tastes of: I think the pumpkin cheesecake bar and the peanut butter rice crispy treat were my favorites. I may have visions of sugarplums in my dreams tonight!…
It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I’ve actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really…
I just had a major freak out because I couldn’t find my camera. After thinking about the progression of last night, I retraced my steps in my head and couldn’t figure out what could have happened to it. I mean I only had one beer!!! But, thankfully, I found it, tucked under the covers in my bed. Strange. Anyway, the retrieved pictures of last night’s fabulous feast(s) are below! Super bowl party-hopping is officially my new favorite. I got to…
…was tons of fun! I took it easy all day – went for a run outside this morning and put the final touches on my white chocolate peppermint cheesecake this afternoon. Then around 3, Matt’s parents arrived and the real party started! We drank beer and chatted for a few hours and Matt and I prepped two pizzas for a late-night dinner. Bacon, mushroom, red pepper on whole wheat and pesto, goat, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil on white.…
My office takes turns baking a birthday treat for all the employees and today it was my turn. I received this fancy schmancy cupcake mix from Matt’s mom & sister and have been waiting to use it. We all know I haven’t been in the kitchen much, so I’m glad I had an excuse to try this mix, I hadn’t ever had Sprinkles cupcakes until Scottsdale and they are amazing!! I whipped up the batter using egg whites, milk, and…
