Recipe Redux: Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

I’m so excited, I can hardly contain myself. It’s nearly football season!

Yes, it’s going to be a strange college ‘ball season for this Penn Stater over here. New head coach, new uniforms, no chance for a bowl game — but I’m still celebrating all things Blue and White beginning this weekend. And, I’m getting ready for NFL season, too, having just finished my fantasy football draft.

Yep, this girl plays fantasy football. Don’t ask questions.

So I’m returning to a recipe I have shared in the past, but with a much better photo. My husband loves these little saucy meatballs, so there’s a good chance they’ll be gracing our Sunday dinner table quite often over the next few months.

Sweet Corn Cake with Spiced Blueberry Topping

Who says that corn is just for eating on the cob? There are tons of ways to prepare fresh corn, including in a sweet, dessert manner. If fresh corn isn’t in season, you can definitely use canned or thawed frozen corn kernels for this recipe. It tastes almost like a sweet corn bread, but the spiced blueberry compote makes the dessert. Make sure it’s served warm!

Thai Barbecued Oysters

This month, I had an exciting “first” in my career — a photo I took graced the cover of a magazine.

It was a photo I took for the spread inside about ways to cook oysters. I don’t consider myself a pro photographer, and I didn’t take the picture with the idea that it might be on the cover. The managing editor saw it and decided to try it — and everyone liked it! So it’s really cool to occasionally see it on the stands and know that it’s MY photo!

A Photographic Journey through Birthday Food

Does that title make any sense? This past weekend, I turned 27. And, like I always do, I ate and drank my way through my birthday weekend.

The B(e)LT: Bacon-, Egg-, and Lettuce-Stuffed Tomato

What better way to celebrate summer’s favorite crop than with a deconstructed version of our favorite sandwich? This really makes a perfect breakfast!
