We have a very specific Thanksgiving tradition... We like to steal the turkey bones. All of the bones. We gather them all up like little squirrels to take home. Sounds a little weird, but it's the best freebie leftover you can grab! Hide those bones away in your refrigerator until you're ready, and then you... Continue Reading →
Smoky Risotto
You know that phrase "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach"? That basically describes me in a single sentence. I'd like to argue that this can be extrapolated to group pot luck settings. You know what I'm talking about... Eight friends are each bringing a contributing dish for the meal/party. No one wants to be that person... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving Stuffing
Last night was had Friendsgiving with our eight of our good friends. It was a great night to spend with some of our favorite people, pretend we're grownups, and experiment with some Thanksgiving recipes. I don't know about y'all, but my grandmothers, aunts, and mother have the handle on the main aspects of big family... Continue Reading →
Baked Brie with Caramelized Onion Chutney
I'm pretty satisfied with myself. Why? Because I made another family recipe, as I've been wanting to do, AND I got to inhale some delicious cheese. This recipe comes from my aunt Lori. I've made it several times and every time wonder why I don't make it more often. This is a great appetizer to... Continue Reading →
Goat Cheese Smothered Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is one of those things that if you look on Pinterest, it seems that everyone is making. I had never made spaghetti squash before tonight! I've been wanting to, because I wanted to be cool like the other Pinterest-ers basically. When I mentioned this to Selim, he said, "I mean don't people just pour sauce... Continue Reading →
Cleveland Polish Boy
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 →
Bay Scallop Risotto
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 →
Caliente Chicken & Zoodles
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 →
How to Make Zoodles
Have you wanted to jump on board the zoodle craze train, but aren't really sure how to make them? Well this is the post for you! Luckily, preparing zoodles is very easy and just requires an extra step or two that you might not anticipate. The key is to draw some of the water out... Continue Reading →
Finally Fall Chili
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,...
