For those of you who are living under a baseball-free rock, Game 6 of the World Series is tonight! The Cleveland Indians are currently beating the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in the series. The series has shifted back to Cleveland for the last two games, and Cleveland fans everywhere are on edge, hoping that the Indians... Continue Reading →
Dinner tonight was basically fate. The universe aligned and all of that. I, unlike every other human being I've ever met, greatly prefer bay scallops to their larger, more popular big brother, the sea scallop. Neither are cheap, and we really just don't think about buying them a lot on our grad student budget. But just... Continue Reading →
At this point, you're probably thinking, "Are they zucchini lobbyists like VEEP's Dan Egan?" Well... that would be a cool job, but we're pretty invested in anesthesia school. Zoodles aren't too complex to make and are an easy way to get some extra vegetables in your life (never a bad thing). In terms of flavor,... Continue Reading →
It's finally fall! We've been waiting through the hottest summer of our lives for the cooler temperatures to finally get here. We had to wait until October for all that, but at least my favorite month hasn't disappointed yet. While it seems like everyone else marks the changing of the seasons with a pumpkin spice latte,...

So what do you think of when you hear "stuffed peppers"? Chances are, you're imagining something with bold Tex-Mex flavors, I am right? I picture a big old red pepper, filled with beef, beans, onions, and spices in a red sauce, smothered with cheese on top. The cheesy, spicy goodness gets you every time! So hate... Continue Reading →
I've had this idea of French Onion soup combined with zoodles for awhile. I'd seen similar ideas on other blogs in the past, but have never tried it myself. The ones I drew from the most were this one from Climbing Grier Mountain and this one from Mother Thyme. True to form, I tried to keep... Continue Reading →
Do you love soup as much as I do? Are you looking for a little variety in your soup life? Then this might be the soup for you. A few years ago, we were in Turkey visiting Selim's family. Over there, I basically hit the soup jackpot. Not only does Turkish cuisine include soup with... Continue Reading →
What is lahmacun you ask? Let's start with pronunciation. If you're American (or not Turkish, really), I can almost guarantee your guess is wrong. In Turkish, the pronunciation of 'c' as we English speakers know it, doesn't really exist. If you see a 'c' in a Turkish word, think of it as an English 'j.' Easy enough?... Continue Reading →
The slow cooker seems to fall out of popularity in the summer, I guess because most of the recipes you think of as traditionally going in a slow cooker are more "fall" or "winter" recipes. But it's really perfect for summer! Just think, you don't have to turn on the oven and heat up your... Continue Reading →
We're fairly busy during the week, so we like to attempt new recipes, or ones that are sure to be longer or more elaborate on the weekends. I'm sure that was already fairly obvious by the days we post new recipes... Actually, last year, one of my New Year's resolutions was to try a... Continue Reading →
