Yes, another food blog.
I, like most other people I know, love a juicy summer watermelon. It is just so refreshing and delicious! I remember that my grandfather always used to (and probably still does) put salt on his watermelon, which I thought was absolutely crazy. I thought that salt would ruin the sweet taste. Through the years, I've... Continue Reading →
Every time we visit my cousin and her husband, we always come home with more than when we arrived. They live in a more rural county, have a HUGE backyard garden, and freezers full of hunting spoils. We were there this past weekend to visit with them and their brand new baby 😍😍😍 We cooked dinner... 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 →
Happy first day of spring! Or if you're of Persian descent, Happy Nowruz! Nowruz literally translates to "new day" and is the name for the Persian new year, which occurs on the vernal (spring) equinox. The holiday has been celebrated for thousands of years and is a holy day from the Zoroastrian tradition, though it... Continue Reading →
One of the best things about writing this blog is the introduction to foods and dishes that I didn't know about beforehand. Today, I learned about chermoula! (Or charmoula - like so many words translated from the original Arabic, this one has more than one spelling.) When we decided to make our Tangy Moroccan Meatballs... Continue Reading →

"Ally, not everything we make is so enlightened that I have a lot to say about it." If we're posting it, it tasted good - trust us. Basic... Continue Reading →
Have you ever been in a restaurant and decided on a nice, big, juicy burger for dinner? You're super-excited and think nothing can be better than your highly anticipated burger? So you place your order with the server, and then s/he asks you, "Do you want that on a regular bun or a pretzel bun?"... Continue Reading →
We're not really a picky couple when it comes to meat. We pretty much like it all. Our weekly routine usually consists of two nights of fish or other seafood, a night of beef, and pretty much the rest of the nights with chicken of some variety. We also love lamb, goat, duck, and all... Continue Reading →
I think risotto might be one of my most favorite foods in the world. It's creamy, delicious, and usually at least a little bit cheesy. Plus, I feel like it's a little bit of a labor of love. You don't stand in front of the stove for a long time to make a dish for... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
