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 →
Thai Turkey Meatballs
I was browsing my ol' faithful - Pinterest - when this recipe (eventually) caught my eye. I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest when it comes to inspiring my dinner. Love - well, what's not to love? There are literally millions of gorgeous photos, leading you to so many different recipes. It also lets me check... Continue Reading →
Mama Z’s Cucumbers
Update 7/1/17: Soooo... turns out my memory was faulty. After talking with Jon and our other friend/my old roommate Terry, we think I mentally combined Mama Z's recipe and Terry's. Too lazy to change the title and the whole post, so we'll just pretend - but give a quick shout to Terry and my muddled... Continue Reading →
Shrimp Rice Bowl
Mmmmmm... shrimp! I feel like if you polled the world about their favorite seafood, shrimp would win hands down. Shrimp is like the gateway drug of seafood - even people who "hate seafood," seem to like shrimp. In fact, I'm pretty sure my sister's introduction to the seafood world was with deep-fried shrimp, doused in... Continue Reading →
“Chicken Lo Mein” Zoodles
Every time the new year rolls around, it seems like everyone makes a resolution involving weight loss, healthy eating, or general fitness. We've been eating zoodles for awhile now (see here, here, here, & here), but I think they're a great way to simultaneously cut calories and add more healthy vegetables to your dinners! This...

Spicy Korean BBQ Tacos with Tangy Slaw
Before we moved to South Carolina for school, we were lucky enough to work on a unit (we were ICU nurses) with some amazing people who became great friends. Luckily for us, several of them share our love for food and cooking. Along the way, one recipe sort of became known as "the recipe," and... Continue Reading →
Ramen Egg
Winter is coming. It comes slowly to South Carolina, but it's been below freezing the past few nights and the high today was only 35. For South Carolina, that's basically the equivalent of spending a few days north of the wall. (And if you don't get that reference, you should go binge-watch Game of Thrones.... Continue Reading →
Tiger Noodles
I have this Pinterest board called, "Ones I've Made and Would Make Again." Because, as I'm sure you all know, just because you've saved it on a Pinterest board, doesn't necessarily mean it's worth making even once! [See the entire website PinterestFail.com] But to gain inclusion on this board of mine, I not only had to... Continue Reading →
Sweet Soy Glazed Salmon
After a weekend filled with carbs & starches (Sat: pasta carbonara & Fri: sweet potato fries & pimento cheese fries at our new favorite restaurant) we decided to go to one of our staples: salmon. It's easy to cook; it can be broiled, grilled, baked, pan fried, or steamed, and doesn't make you want to... Continue Reading →
