When we first started this blog, we found and gathered many prospective recipes on Pinterest. Now, we save so many delicious prospects, like this one, on Instagram. Who knows where we'll be finding inspiration in the next five years!? This recipe for mazesoba caught our eye there, and we're glad it did! Thanks Genius Eatss!... Continue Reading →

Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth

We've now made this twice in two weeks. It's a pretty easy addition to the weeknight rotation, despite seeming to me to be a little fancier at first glace. It gives off nice Thai-ish flavors and other than the lemongrass, uses ingredients we generally have on hand. Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth (Adapted from Smitten... Continue Reading →

Chinese Turnip Cake

Last year our attempt at a Chinese feast for Lunar New Year was a little bit of a flop. I made Lion's Head Meatballs and just didn't get it quite right. The meatballs were good, but the broth was very bland and the cabbage was a little unwieldy. We'll try again one day, but this... Continue Reading →

Pork & Rice Cabbage Rolls

In keeping with our Ukrainian dinner theme, we made these cabbage rolls in more of a Ukrainian style. As with every "traditional dish" I've ever researched or made, there... Continue Reading →

Miso e Cacio e Pepe

This was easy to bring together and used ingredients that we already had on hand. (Although we may keep... Continue Reading →

Spicy Pasta alla Norma with Sausage

We're definitely adding Joshua McFadden's Six Seasons to our list of favorite cookbooks. And this recipe may just be our favorite one (so far) from there! We've been getting these gorgeous fairy-tale eggplants from our Farm Share this summer and, not being super experienced eggplant-ers, have been trying new ways to enjoy them. Not only...

Afghan Chickpea Curry

This was our second attempt from May's Cookbook Club selection, Parwana, by Durkhanai Ayubi. The first, Afghan Lamb & Root Veggie Aush, was a big hit. We have about 80% of the recipes in this book earmarked to try. I was also very encouraged when I was picking this book up at the library and... Continue Reading →
