Yes, another food blog.
We've now made this twice in two weeks. It's a pretty easy addition to the weeknight rotation, despite seeming to me to be a little fancier at first glace. It gives off nice Thai-ish flavors and other than the lemongrass, uses ingredients we generally have on hand. Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth (Adapted from Smitten... Continue Reading →
The pandemic life means that we've been trying to limit our grocery store trips and only eating the food we have in the house. This has been good and bad for our cooking. It's forced some creativity that has been well-worth the effort, but other times it's just led to us eating the same thing... Continue Reading →
Here's our first guest chef post courtesy of Ally's mom! How this hasn't happened before is mind-boggling because she is an amazing cook. Ally was super lucky to grow up with a mom who made homemade dinner essentially every night of the week. As a typical ungrateful teenager, Ally used to not appreciate this as much as...

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 →
Köfte is one of those dishes that calls to mind something slightly different for every person. Apparently, some company in Turkey determined that there are 291 varieties of köfte native to that country alone.

This is another one of the recipes that we decided to make this blog for... It's one of my favorite Pinterest finds, from what's become a favorite blog - Little Spice Jar. We always tweak our recipes a little bit and this was no different. But, per usual, we've forgotten the changes we made from the... Continue Reading →
Today is World Food Day. I'm not going to lie, when I saw that name, I thought - "Yesssssss, a day dedicated to my favorite thing, food! Let's eat tons of food in the name of this brilliant holiday!" Well, I guess that's sort of true, but come to find out, there's a lot more... Continue Reading →
I was browsing my ol' faithful - Pinterest - when this recipe (eventually) caught my eye. I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest when it comes to inspiring my dinner. Love - well, what's not to love? There are literally millions of gorgeous photos, leading you to so many different recipes. It also lets me check... Continue Reading →
