We're definitely adding Joshua McFadden's Six Seasons to our list of favorite cookbooks. And this recipe may just be our favorite one (so far) from there! We've been getting these gorgeous fairy-tale eggplants from our Farm Share this summer and, not being super experienced eggplant-ers, have been trying new ways to enjoy them. Not only...

Afghan Lamb & Root Veggie Aush
This was our first recipe attempt from Parwana, by Durkhanai Ayubi, May's Cookbook Club selection. This is another cookbook we just knew we were going to love! It may end up at the top of the favorites list with Falastin and Stir Frying to the Sky's Edge. We bookmarked half of the book to try... Continue Reading →
Pasta with Clams & Sausage
On Instagram a few weeks back, The Kitchn announced that they were creating a virtual cookbook club (ie: a book club, but with cookbooks...). I got really excited! I love cookbooks, trying new recipes, and getting inspired from different sources, but honestly sometimes I'm a little lazy about it. Frankly, a lot of times it's easier... Continue Reading →
Spring Pasta with Brie, Ham, and Peas
Who doesn't love spring? Flowers blooming, weather warming up, and March Madness! Ally loves March Madness every year, but this year was extra special. She, along with all the rest of the Cavalier faithful, had incredibly high hopes for redemption for this year's team. And they DID IT! Monday night, way past our bedtime, the... Continue Reading →
Prosciutto & Basil Topped Lemon Ricotta Pappardelle
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 →
Golden Goat Pasta
Tonight we decided to take a brief detour from our now tried and true basic pasta recipe. And by brief detour, I mean that we did the exact same thing that we always do, with the addition of some ground turmeric for a new flavor and color. Not the most bold and daring detour if...

How To Make Basic Pasta
We're doing our best to keep up with one of our goals on our Culinary Bucket List, to never use store-bought pasta again. Obviously, this is a slightly tongue-in-cheek goal; sometimes you just don't have the time to whip up homemade pasta. But, not going to lie, every time we make our own pasta, it just...

Pappardelle with Braised Ragu
I'm learning things today. That's one of the best things about writing this blog - because I want to actually have something to say in my post, I frequently dig deeper into the history or other technical details of recipes where I might not have otherwise. Take today's recipe... I knew I wanted to make... Continue Reading →
Cacio e Pepe
Number 10 on our Culinary Bucket List states, "Figure out how the Italians’ make pasta cacio e pepe a million times better than we can. Also, master that twirling the pasta at the table trick." If you've ever been to Rome, you know what I'm talking about. Literally ever Roman restaurant we set foot in served... Continue Reading →
Herbed Shrimp Pasta Salad
Given that my sister Amy was the center of attention for her own graduation celebration, she got to pick which dishes my mom made for the party. One of her absolute favorites is this pasta salad with shrimp. Pretty much any time Amy gets to pick, this is what she asks for. This family favorite... Continue Reading →
