Our culinary diary
Circling back to September's Cookbook Club selection for this one. I knew I wanted to make this as soon as we opened the book, but just hadn't gotten to it yet. I'm glad we finally did! This was easy to bring together and used ingredients that we already had on hand. (Although we may keep... Continue Reading →
Growing up, when we were having a special treat or the whole extended family was together, my grandmother would make us her 'sticky buns.' Now that she has passed away, my mom thankfully has taken on the responsibility of the sticky bun making! It was only after I was probably in my mid-20s that I... Continue Reading →
Ever eat a delicious bowl of french onion soup and think, 'wow, this is really good, but I wish I had some meat!' Yea, me neither, because a bowl of french onion soup is a treasure just how it is. BUT, if you were thinking that, you could turn to this handy recipe for French Onion... Continue Reading →
Awhile back, I (probably via Pinterest let's be honest) came across Seasons & Suppers. This food blog, or "online food and cooking diary," as its author describes it, is honestly what I aspire for our blog to be. First off, we like to think of our site as our own personal culinary diary as well. Secondly, her... Continue Reading →
A ways back, in our first year of the blog, we made pimento cheese as Christmas gifts in honor of our new home in South Carolina. We made two varieties - Selim created Garlic & Truffle Pimento Cheese, and Ally made a more traditional version. For some reason, we didn't share the traditional recipe at the... Continue Reading →
Tonight we decided to take a brief detour from our now tried and true basic pasta recipe. And by brief detour, I mean that we did the exact same thing that we always do, with the addition of some ground turmeric for a new flavor and color. Not the most bold and daring detour if...

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 →
Now that we've started using filo dough (see: Baklava - we've made it twice since posting it!), we've gained a little bit of confidence in working with the thin, finicky dough. So I knew Selim would want to tackle börek next. He loves börek - although it's kind of hard to say it's his favorite... Continue Reading →
In the last installation of What We Ate At Amy's Graduation Party, I give you this interesting little cheese ball. I know cheese balls are kind of clichéd, standard party food, but that doesn't mean they're not delicious. I got trapped by this one (as usual) and stood there munching on it for longer than...

I may have mentioned it once or twice, but I have an embarrassing love of most things that come in a box, especially with powdered cheese. Kraft mac & cheese? Clearly. Those Knorr rice or noodle sides in a bag? So good and only $1! Hamburger Helper? Be still my heart 🖤🖤🖤 Are any of... Continue Reading →
