When I was in college, my younger sister found this ridiculous t-shirt with a cow and a pig dancing on the front that says, "I love carbs!" Which was made slightly less ridiculous, because I really, really do. I wore that shirt proudly 😉 I need to resurrect it to wear while whipping up these... Continue Reading →
Northern African Braised Chicken
This recipe is another prime example of why we created this blog. We first made this recipe a few years ago for Selim's father and sister. We all loved it then! I was thinking about how delicious it was the other day, but could not for the life of me remember where I got the... Continue Reading →
Homemade Pasta Carbonara
In 2015, we went on a trip to Italy & Turkey. After eating our way through Rome, we became mildly obsessed with fresh pasta. So we got the pasta attachments for our stand mixer and have been trying to master making pasta from scratch ever since. The first time we attempted homemade pasta, we decided... Continue Reading →

We've made several dishes with them, and I think they work great as a noodle or grain substitute if you're into that kind of thing. What I don't think however, is that they are "just...

Ancho Chili Salmon with Sweet Summer Salsa
This was an easily thrown together dinner from the other night. We almost always have salmon in the fridge and wanted to try something a little different to go with it. So basically, we looked at our fridge and fruit bowl, mixed a few ingredients together, and ended up with an awesome, repeat-worthy dinner! The... Continue Reading →
Shrimp Etouffee
Have to start somewhere right? For our very first blog post, I give you a pretty easy recipe for shrimp étouffée. The other day we saw some nice-looking fresh shrimp on sale and snatched it up. So we were trying to plan a dinner around said shrimp. I caught a glimpse of Emeril on TV,... Continue Reading →
