Our culinary diary
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 →
Most people out there enjoy a good snack, but on Ally's mom's side of her extended family, they really embrace the snacking thing. When they're together for a holiday or any sort of large gathering, they don't just have three meals in a day. They add a fourth, solely devoted to snacks. Somewhere along the... Continue Reading →
During our years living in Columbia, we loved going to the Soda City Market on Main Street in downtown Columbia. Now that we live in Richmond, we've turned to the South of the James market for our Saturday morning perusing. For better or for worse, Soda City Market isn't exactly a farmers market in our...

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 →
When I think about a dinner that screams SUMMER! - for whatever reason, my go-to is fish with a fruit salsa. I don't know about y'all, but I always am more interested in fish in the summer - I can mentally transport myself to the ocean and pretend that fish just got hauled in a... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie to y'all. I have no idea what kind of fish I used to make this dish. I was trying to eat through some of our freezer foods and pulled this out. It's tilapia, maybe? So we'll just suggest you use any white fish of your choosing. This was another of those... 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 →
Did you know that there is a week every year devoted to egg salad?? National Egg Salad Week is celebrated on different dates every year, starting on the Monday following Easter. (It all makes sense.) Both Christians and Jews use eggs in their traditional celebrations of Easter and Passover, with the eggs symbolizing new life.... Continue Reading →
At this point, you're probably thinking, "Are they zucchini lobbyists like VEEP's Dan Egan?" Well... that would be a cool job, but we're pretty invested in anesthesia school. Zoodles aren't too complex to make and are an easy way to get some extra vegetables in your life (never a bad thing). In terms of flavor,... Continue Reading →
Have you been introduced to zoodles, the semi-recent food craze and healthy-eater favorite? I love these spiralized "noodles" of zucchini. We've made several dishes with them, and I think they work great as a noodle or grain substitute if you're into that kind of thing. What I don't think however, is that they are "just...
