When I shared my pictures and opinions of this recipe in the Kitchn's Cookbook Club Facebook group, my post started with, "Yall. Run and get some duck legs, so you can make the Crispy Duck Legs!" And now I'm telling anyone who reads this post the same! These are SO good. Honestly, I never thought... Continue Reading →
Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potato Enfrijoladas
If we've said it one, we've said it a thousand times, we're really enjoying participating in the Kitchn's Cookbook Club. It gives us inspiration to try new things, and to explore recipes that wouldn't be our natural go-tos. (See our Cookbook Club page for all of our previous fun!) This month's selection is Cool Beans,... Continue Reading →
Classic Beef & Broccoli
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 →
Potatoes Vindaloo
Tonight's recipe is our second effort from Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. Our first attempt was the super unique Eggplant & Mango Soba Noodles, which we loved! I love all things carbs, so a dish of not one, but two types of potatoes is right up my ally. We enjoyed cooking with curry leaves for the... Continue Reading →
Eggplant & Mango Soba Noodles
For Cookbook Club this month, we're cooking Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. I love Ottolenghi... he's one of my favorite chefs to follow on social media and I find his recipes universally delicious! I was introduced to him several years back when my sister gave me the cookbook Jerusalem that he co-authored with Sami Tamimi. It... Continue Reading →
Indian-ish Chicken Breasts

[See: Pasta with Clams & Sausage, Chocolate Cupcakes with Rosewater Cream, and Sausages & Roasted Veggies in Agrodolce] For October, the book selected is Indian... Continue Reading →
Spring Pasta with Brie, Ham, and Peas
Who doesn't love spring? Flowers blooming, weather warming up, and March Madness! Ally loves March Madness every year, but this year was extra special. She, along with all the rest of the Cavalier faithful, had incredibly high hopes for redemption for this year's team. And they DID IT! Monday night, way past our bedtime, the... Continue Reading →
Mint & Feta Topped Eggplant
After making Minty Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad last week, we had some leftover mint. By "some leftover mint," I really mean, "Did this package of mint grow exponentially more mint?" I feel like it's pretty much impossible to use all the mint in a package and even more impossible to use all the mint that... Continue Reading →
Zoodles in Mediterranean Tomato Sauce
Gosh, it's been awhile since we've made zoodles. For awhile there we were making, eating, and sharing zoodle recipes every week it seems like. We took a little bit of a hiatus it seems, but don't worry - the zoodles are back! This time, they're topped with a deliciously spicy sauce that makes you think... Continue Reading →
Charred Corn Flatbread
If you've been watching the news recently, you know all about Hurricane Irma. I swear, that's all we've been talking about for the past week or so. We live in South Carolina, which flipped in and out of the hurricane strike zone, through a week of changing predictions. Luckily for us, the worst of missed... Continue Reading →
