Yes, another food blog.
Over here, we're still loving cooking our way through Falastin, January's selection for the Kitchn's Cookbook Club. So far we've made Lemon Chickpea Salad (Balilah), Saffron Butternut Squash Soup, and a few others that we didn't share on here (yet). We love Middle Eastern food at baseline, and this cookbook has been a real treat. I've wanted... Continue Reading →
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 →
Ever eat a delicious bowl of french onion soup and think, 'wow, this is really good, but I wish I had some meat!' Yea, me neither, because a bowl of french onion soup is a treasure just how it is.

Ok y'all. Remember that fig chutney that we made last weekend to go on top of some roast pork (Pork Tenderloin with Fig Chutney)? We've been talking about it all week. It was that good! So good that we felt the need to make it again and share it as a standalone recipe. The super... Continue Reading →

It's September, college football debuted yesterday, the NFL regular season starts this coming week, and Halloween candy and pumpkin-flavored everything are starting to show up in stores.

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 →
Pickles again? Didn't we just do that? Yes, yes we did. I've been munching on the Midnight Quick Pickles from last week out of my fridge pretty much every day. Sorry for the repetition, but sometimes I can't help the order of our culinary diary. This weekend, Selim's parents came to visit us in... Continue Reading →
I have a confession. I am not on board with the bacon trend. I do not think EVERYTHING is better wrapped in bacon. I know this is an unpopular opinion around here. I mean, is there anything more American than being obsessed with bacon? My brother even informed us when we were planning our wedding... Continue Reading →
While the rest of you are celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, I'm vacillating between the five stages of grief over UVA's loss last night. I guess this post is helping me move past the denial stage, given that I just wrote the words "UVA's loss." My very caring and loving husband, is being even nicer to... Continue Reading →
When I decided to make surprise Hanukkah dinner tonight, I knew I wanted to make latkes and dessert, but what to make for a main dish...? I've never made brisket before, but I don't live under a rock. I know that this cut of meat is beloved by Jewish bubbes and Texas pit-masters alike. Honestly,... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
