Yes, another food blog.
January's pick for the Cookbook Club is Falastin, by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. I've been a fan of Tamimi's for a long time, as he co-authored one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Jerusalem, so I was very excited about this pick. While Jerusalem looks at the food of Jerusalem from both the Jewish and... Continue Reading →
After I typed up the recipe portion of this recipe, I looked up at our most recent posts and apparently we're going a little overboard with the lemon (Lemon Blueberry Muffins, Lemon Blueberry Skillet Cake)! So sorry, but we're featuring lemons again tonight. This is one of those recipes that got passed around because it's... Continue Reading →
Happy Labor Day Weekend! The unofficial end of summer has arrived. You'd be hard-pressed to know that here though, given that it's going to be sunny and in the upper 80s. We're spending our weekend at "The Land" as we call it - in rural Amherst County. While we still have the last remnants of... Continue Reading →
Today marks my first full week of being home with the baby on maternity leave alone and Selim's first week being back at work. I'm learning that neither is easy. Selim has to get up early, after having frequently interrupted sleep all night, go to work all day, and be separated from this little baby... Continue Reading →
We made this light lemon aioli to dip our Shrimp Beignets in, which was a nice contrast the the fried spiciness of the beignets. This aioli is light and almost delicate - not so sour as to make your mouth pucker! It worked great as a dip for our beignets, but I think it... 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 →
Let's talk about sumac. In the US, it's not a very common ingredient. I'm going to be 100% honest with you, internet... When I first saw a recipe with sumac as an ingredient, I immediately though about poison sumac, the third in the itchy trifecta of poisons ivy, oak, and sumac. Why would anyone want...

This is our last batch of end-of-the-rotation thank you treats. Why? Because this week we are completing our LAST clinical rotation!! We graduate in almost exactly ONE MONTH, on May 11th! We're really looking forward to be gainfully employed adults again. But don't worry, we have one more delicious treat for this last month. These... Continue Reading →
As a newbie blogger, I like to think I'm following all of the blogging etiquette rules out there. (Although honestly, I have no idea... I could be committing some blogger faux pas with every post for all I know... someone give us a heads up!) But one thing I do know - because it's common... Continue Reading →
I've put off posting this recipe for almost a week now. Mostly because I've been busy with my current rotation and was feeling pretty uncreative. The creativity bug hasn't bitten me in the meantime, but I didn't want to forget this recipe because I really enjoyed it. The lemon makes a basic chicken soup just... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
