It seems like people have very strong feelings about cast iron skillets, positive or negative. Those who don't own or use cast iron skillets regularly sometimes are scared of using them, because they think they're hard to care for. The seasoning of the skillet is a little intimidating unless you've read a little bit about... Continue Reading →
A ways back, in our first year of the blog, we made pimento cheese as Christmas gifts in honor of our new home in South Carolina. We made two varieties - Selim created Garlic & Truffle Pimento Cheese, and Ally made a more traditional version. For some reason, we didn't share the traditional recipe at the... Continue Reading →
We're having an impromptu New Year's Eve "party" tonight. I put party in quotations because we're not exactly a wild bunch. We're having food, alcohol, and friends on NYE, so I feel like it qualifies as a party, but we're doing a lot more playing of board games than dancing on tables. I've wanted to... Continue Reading →
If there's any dish that just screams 'Hanukkah,' it's potato latkes. Latkes are traditional Hanukkah fare not for the dish itself, but for the oil its fried in. Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights; it celebrates the miracle of one day's worth of oil lasting for eight days. Over 2000 years ago, the... Continue Reading →
Ok y'all, I know I say things like this all the time, but... This dip is SO easy to make and SO worth it. Bring this to your next family gathering, book club, or just make it for tomorrow's dinner! It's spicy without being overpowering. And everyone loves feta cheese! On that note, now is... Continue Reading →
Ok. Obviously when we share recipes on here, we think they're pretty good and that you should make them. But this one... I'm multiplying that sentiment by a million! These flatbreads are amazing!! Plus they are just a little bit fancy... Makes you feel like a fancy person, having fancy dinner. But the secret is, they're... Continue Reading →
I was browsing my ol' faithful - Pinterest - when this recipe (eventually) caught my eye. I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest when it comes to inspiring my dinner. Love - well, what's not to love? There are literally millions of gorgeous photos, leading you to so many different recipes. It also lets me check... Continue Reading →
Now that we've started using filo dough (see: Baklava - we've made it twice since posting it!), we've gained a little bit of confidence in working with the thin, finicky dough. So I knew Selim would want to tackle börek next. He loves börek - although it's kind of hard to say it's his favorite... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie to y'all. I have no idea what kind of fish I used to make this dish. I was trying to eat through some of our freezer foods and pulled this out. It's tilapia, maybe? So we'll just suggest you use any white fish of your choosing. This was another of those... Continue Reading →
In the last installation of What We Ate At Amy's Graduation Party, I give you this interesting little cheese ball. I know cheese balls are kind of clichéd, standard party food, but that doesn't mean they're not delicious. I got trapped by this one (as usual) and stood there munching on it for longer than...
