Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be spending the evening at work and then will probably ring in the new year in bed, asleep. Exciting, I know. I've just never been the NYE-type person. I could honesty care less about the New Year. One more circulation around the sun? Great. I don't need a party to… Continue reading Chicken and Ravioli Carbonara

Mediterranean Orzo Salad
I feel like I've been on a weeklong food binger. The holidays are rough, really rough. There's cookies and candies and pies and turkey and stuffing galore.

I had some leftover Hershey kisses and a big tub of peanut butter. Classic peanut… Continue reading Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
When it comes to baking, I tend to stick to the basics. I'm not going to bake a 3-tier cake from scratch. Give me some butter, sugar, and flour and I'll make drop cookies all day long. The easier, the better. These cookies are about as intense as I'll go. I kept seeing people posting… Continue reading Christmas Neapolitan Cookies

'Tis the season for endless holiday parties and mass amounts of dips. By dips, I mean chips and dip of course. You can't have a party, a shindig, a hootenanny, or a small gathering with out the perennial favorite appetizer. I like to vary the dips I make and bring.
