Our culinary diary
If you're glancing at this recipe (and skipping over this section of commentary like I usually do until I'm sure the recipe and its ingredients interest me!), you might be a little concerned about ALL THAT MUSTARD. It certainly does seem like a lot, but don't worry! While dijon mustard is definitely the most prominent... Continue Reading →
We're doing our best to keep up with one of our goals on our Culinary Bucket List, to never use store-bought pasta again. Obviously, this is a slightly tongue-in-cheek goal; sometimes you just don't have the time to whip up homemade pasta. But, not going to lie, every time we make our own pasta, it just...

You know those word association games/tests that psychologists (at least on TV) use to gain deep insight into your psyche? You know the one - they ask you to say the first word that pops into your mind when they say something seemingly innocuous like "mother" and then learn a lot about you depending on...

At our house, we do a lot of adapted recipes, even the most traditional ones. We substitute a little of this, add a little of that, combine these two ideas, or even entirely make stuff up. (See the entire tag on our blog - Twisted Traditions). But sometimes you just can't do that. Coq au... Continue Reading →
As we've mentioned before (see Mint Chocolate Bars), we like to bring a treats in for the staff when we finish a rotation. It's the least we can do for the people who spend their time and effort training us! We're not the only one's who do this - but we do try to have... Continue Reading →
I love so much of the produce in the summer... Berries, stone fruit, fresh veggies... But the summer corn might just be my favorite! The corn I saw this week was huge and beautiful! I tried to take it home by the armful, but restrained myself and only took home 8 ears. Mind you, there's... Continue Reading →
Bad news: I (Ally, to be clear) burned my balsamic reduction, didn't taste it, poured it over our dinner anyway, and ruined a delicious dinner/new blog post 👎🏼 Good news: We had the day off to watch the eclipse and got to experience 2 1/2 minutes of totality 👍🏼 🌕 🌔 🌓 🌒 🌑 🌘... Continue Reading →
Saltimbocca is a traditional Italian dish, likely originating in Rome. The original dish is made with a veal cutlet, prosciutto, and sage. More recently, Italian-Americans have made the chicken version a tradition in and of itself. This Americanized recipe still traditionally uses sage, but we like to use our own fresh herbs from our mini... 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 →
We haven't shared that many soup recipes on here, but soup probably makes up a good third of my diet. I love soup! This is just another reason why I was born to marry into a Turkish family. If you ever make it to Turkey (which I can't suggest more highly), you'll see that delicious... Continue Reading →
