Well, I guess I’ve decided that beets are the official food of Valentine’s Day! First, I used beets in my pink cupcakes. And now, I’m turning them into hearts. How could I not, though, really? They are such a pretty color and just perfect for the holiday! One of my number one all time favorite…
Black Bean & Hominy Dip
One upon a time I lived in Boston. It was the early post-college days, which meant lots and lots of girlfriend get-togethers. One of my friends lived in a gorgeous, expensive condo with an amazing city view. Since the rest of us lived in shacks and studio apartments, we ended up spending a lot of…
Antipasto Bake
January brings two things: New Year’s resolutions… and football parties. My last post addressed the resolutions. Now that we’re halfway through January and ready to throw resolutions out the window, let’s move on to the more fun one: football parties! Obviously, football is a good excuse to drink beer and eat junk food. I’ve had…
Buffalo Hummus
It’s Secret Recipe Club day!! Woot woot! I’m glad to have SRC lately to force me to cook delicious things and update this lil ole bloggy with them! Members of the Secret Recipe Club are assigned a blog each month. Who has who is a secret until reveal day (today!). The mission is to choose…

Black-Eyed Pea Dip
Since our time in the South is possibly (hopefully) coming to an end, I figured I better get my fill of Southern cuisine while I can. Black-eyed peas are something I’d never had until I moved down here, and I think I have cooked with them approximately one other time: Okra, Corn and Black-Eyed Pea…
Homemade Baked Crab Rangoons
Normally when a big holiday (or any holiday, really) is upon us, I take it as an opportunity to make lots of holiday themed food. I also usually post collections of food for that specific holiday. Well, as I went to look for Thanksgiving recipes, I realized… I really don’t have any good Thanksgiving recipes…
Bacon Double Cheeseburger Dip
I made this dip for a Halloween party last weekend and it was a huge hit! Remember how I said I was running a Halloween Monster Dash 5K? Well, other than it being FREEZING (45 degrees is freezing in Mississippi), it was lots of fun! The race was pretty small, but there were still quite…
