Our culinary diary
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 →
I don't think it was until I was in high school or college that I realized that my mom's meatloaf was different that most other people's. Apparently, it's more standard to have a tomato-based sauce, brown sugar, or BBQ sauce mixed in or coating the meatloaf. Don't get me wrong, those are good too -... Continue Reading →

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 →
What is lahmacun you ask? Let's start with pronunciation. If you're American (or not Turkish, really), I can almost guarantee your guess is wrong.

In 2015, we went on a trip to Italy & Turkey. After eating our way through Rome, we became mildly obsessed with fresh pasta.
