Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake

So, tell me, am I the last person to discover gooey butter cake? This isn't just my first attempt at making it at home, it's also the very first time I've even tasted it! I don't know that I've ever seen it on a menu at a restaurant or in a bakery case around here so it's not like I had a ton of opportunities to try it and passed them up. Though, to be fair, I'm not sure I'd have been brave enough to order it anyway.

Tilapia Piccata

If you're a hockey fan, I really, really hope you were able to watch the Bruins game last night. It was epic, easily one of the best hockey games I've ever seen. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge Bruins fan; it would have been equally as awesome no matter which teams were playing. Having the Bruins involved just made it about a million times more stressful for me. Down 3 goals they mounted a huge comeback late in the 3rd period to send it to overtime, where they scored the game winner! Shane was already in bed, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't able to sleep through my celebratory screams...

Chicken Thighs with Dipping Sauce and Coconut Rice - Grilled Thai

Sometimes as a food blogger, you just have a great recipe to share.  There is no deep-and-meaningful story behind it.  No tie to an impactful personal experience or a deep cache of wisdom surrounding it; you just have some great food begging for others to have the chance to be excited and elevated by it.

Biscoff-Pretzel Rice Krispies Treats

I'm kind of in denial that not only is it already Friday but it's almost the end of May. Geez, where in the world has the time gone!? All week I've been thinking it's one day earlier than it is so today feels very much like Thursday to me. I'm not complaining though, bring on Memorial Day weekend! It's the unofficial start of summer, and that means grilling, swimming and even longer days to enjoy outside on the deck. Yay!

Pan-Seared Shrimp with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze

We went through a really rough stretch a few months ago when we started trying to eat healthier dinners. I'd planned our meals for the week, and was genuinely excited about all of them. But one night after the next, we choked down something that was just barely edible - a super dry and bland pasta bake, buffalo chicken salad that wasn't nearly as exciting as it sounded, flavorless chili...the list goes on. It was oh so tempting to just pick up the phone and order pizza on a few of those nights. I'm sure Shane wished I had, but he was a really good sport about the whole thing.

Pimento Cheese Burgers

m stepping outside of my comfort zone a bit today. A few years ago, I had never even heard of pimiento cheese. I'm pretty sure it's hugely popular in the south; here in Rhode Island, though, it hasn't caught on (at least as far as I'm aware). I can't remember where I was first introduced to pimiento cheese, but it was definitely through the food blogging world. Even then, as it began to pop up on more and more sites, I didn't actually know what it was - just that people were hugely obsessed with it.
