Our culinary diary
Sticking with our Cookbook Club selection, we made another recipe from Grace Young's Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge. This month has been incredibly fun, even though we didn't join in until closer to the end of August. Ms. Young actually joined the club Facebook group and offered tips, suggestions, and kind comments on all of... Continue Reading →
A lot of our family and friends think because we have this food blog and enjoy 'fancy' dinner date nights, that we only eat complex, homemade dishes for every single meal. Hate to burst the bubble, but that is far from the truth. We obviously do love experimenting with new recipes and tend to take... Continue Reading →

Just a few weeks ago, we shared our Farewell Columbia homage to our food faves from our home for the past three-ish years.

As we've mentioned a million times, we use this blog as a vehicle to get us to branch out and try different dishes we wouldn't have otherwise thought to make.

When I decided to make surprise Hanukkah dinner tonight, I knew I wanted to make latkes and dessert, but what to make for a main dish...? I've never made brisket before, but I don't live under a rock. I know that this cut of meat is beloved by Jewish bubbes and Texas pit-masters alike. Honestly,... Continue Reading →
This is another one of the recipes that we decided to make this blog for... It's one of my favorite Pinterest finds, from what's become a favorite blog - Little Spice Jar. We always tweak our recipes a little bit and this was no different. But, per usual, we've forgotten the changes we made from the... Continue Reading →
Today is World Food Day. I'm not going to lie, when I saw that name, I thought - "Yesssssss, a day dedicated to my favorite thing, food! Let's eat tons of food in the name of this brilliant holiday!" Well, I guess that's sort of true, but come to find out, there's a lot more... Continue Reading →
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 →
