This is our favorite pimento cheese recipe — finally gathered in one place. It’s partially whipped and packed with bright, savory flavor. Perfect for dipping or melting in a grilled cheese. I absolutely love this creamy, tangy spread. Over the years I’ve referenced pimento cheese in other recipes, and it always felt scattered. So here … Read more
Hello everyone!
I want to share a dish I’m absolutely loving right now.
First: name that movie. Second: did you have a nice weekend? It warmed up here, and we dyed Easter eggs, dressed up a bit, and ate entirely too much chocolate.
The chocolate binge has to stop — remind me around 9:54 PM when I usually crash. That’s my weak hour.
Oh hi! Here’s an easy s’mores mug cake you can make in about five minutes. Seriously — no big deal, just quick and delicious. I’ll admit I used to be skeptical of the whole “cake in a mug in the microwave” trend. Then one lazy night and a powerful chocolate craving changed my mind. I … Read more

I probably bought two packages. Oops again. This might surprise you: I don’t usually eat plain Oreos on their own. But I … Read more

I love snacks.
I often prefer snacking to sitting down for a formal meal. Snacks are simple, usually crunchy and salty, and they let me try a variety of flavors in one sitting so I don’t get bored. They’re easy, satisfying, and yes — sometimes they include chocolate and wine, which makes them even better.
Hiiiiii. It’s me. More Mondays. More quinoa! I can’t stop making quinoa. We eat a lot of it, and right now it feels perfect for summer. (Full disclosure: I’ve also mixed it with bacon grease, crumbled bacon, stuffed it in portobellos and drizzled balsamic glaze over the whole thing — but this recipe is lighter: … Read more
