Festive Foodie: Leftovers Sliders

It goes without saying that one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the abundance of leftovers I’m sent home with.

Festive Foodie: Pistachio Pudding Grinch Truffles

There’s plenty of “polished” versions of this recipe available on various cooking/baking blogs and social media, where the chocolate cookie truffles are coated with a layer of smooth melted chocolate or perfectly layered frosting, and I love those, too – I’m not knocking them in any way! – but I’ve always associated the world of […]

Fall Foodie: Sausage-Stuffed Acorn Squash

My longtime friend and podcast co-host, Stef, is an amazing cook, and I can always count on her to keep me well-fed whenever we’re hanging out at her house and/or getting ready to record a new episode together in the studio.

Summer Sides: Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

When it comes to snacking or appetizers, I’m a big fan of combining unexpected tastes, like either sweet or citrus with more savory and salty flavors. Tortilla chips with lime? The best. Mango Habanero sauces and salsa? Absolutely – and for some reason those combinations always taste particularly amazing during the Summer months! This past […]

Summer Snacks: Dill Pickle Chicken Salad

I love a good, chilled chicken salad sandwich or a scoop of it on a buttery cracker during the Summertime – be it at a backyard cookout, during a snack break on a beach day, or when I’m taking a few minutes to refuel on one of the days I come into the office throughout […]
