Today I am competing in my third FoodieFights.com cooking competition. I am currently 0/2, but hopefully the 3rd time is the charm. The gist of the competition is that there are six food bloggers, two featured ingredients and whole lot of glory. The featured ingredients for this Foodie Fight are peas and ginger. As soon…
The other day I wanted something sweet and Dana suggested those little sugar cookies with jam in the middle. Then it hit me, I had a ton of Strawberry Jam in the freezer from when my parents visited. This would be the perfect combination. Strawberry Jam Cookies. Check out the Strawberry Jam post for some…
It is hard to believe that it is Friday already. It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend in DC. There are a ton of things to do, but I have focused on a couple exciting events. First of all, it is finally May. All of the April showers, or lack of them, will hopefully…
There is a little pizza restaurant in DC called Matchbox that makes pretty darn good pizzas. Although they are known more for their sliders than their pizza, they make a pretty mean pie. My favorite is the Fire and Smoke pizza. It is a mixture of spicy and smokey ingredients that play together to make…
The other week I was coming back from Pork in the Park when we stopped at a Sonic Drive-in. I love Sonic. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. I am a huge fan of the cherry limeade. After taking a few sips, you realize that it would be amazing with alcohol. So…

A steak is just a steak until you add sides. Then the steak turns into a meal. Everyone always focuses on the main entree, but fails to put any thought into the supporting cast. A good side can elevate an OK meal to a great meal. For this reason, I like to focus on side…
Every week I try to feature an amazing cocktail. This week includes one of the best creations I have ever made. This cocktail started yesterday when I featured cold brew coffee on my blog. Cold brew coffee is brewed slowly and creates a nice smooth bitter-less coffee concentrate. Therefore, I wanted to create a cocktail…
So it has been getting warm around here and I have been spending a small fortune on iced coffee. I like the caffeine and since it is hot, why not get it cool and refreshing. To save a little money I wanted to try something a little different. It is called cold brew coffee. Basically…
