Our culinary diary
We decided to make a Native American dinner to celebrate Winter Solstice this year. This day was and is celebrated in a variety of ways across different Native American tribes, and while we didn't try to specifically recreate any of those traditions, we did keep the meal to only ingredients native to the United States....

For several years now, we've been making some variation of Smitten Kitchen's zucchini butter spaghetti all summer long. But when we get to fall, we take the same idea and pivot to cabbage. Both of these versions are delicious, get a big serving of vegetables in, and easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Essentially, all... Continue Reading →
Bold move to mess with a classic. A lot of people would argue that you should just leave classic chocolate chip cookies alone, and I don't disagree with them. [See our house Chocolate Chip Cookie!] But I feel like this are less of a chocolate chip cookie that got some other stuff added to it,... Continue Reading →
I was working on a Lunar New Year menu and browsing Woks of Life (an excellent Chinese cooking blog if you're interested!) when I came across these. Given that I already had the ingredients and that a citrus dessert sounded like a perfect winter treat, I decided to add these in with our more traditional... Continue Reading →
We're a little bit in love with January's Cookbook Club selection Falastin. We always bookmark some recipes at the beginning of the month when there's a new cookbook. This month, we bookmarked pretty much the entire book, and just might actually follow through. This soup was pretty easy to prepare and a great winter and... Continue Reading →
While we like a lot of the same dishes and flavors, Selim and I approach cooking in completely different ways. He likes to combine flavors and add a pinch of this and a dash of that, until he ends up with a delicious end result. Frequently (and unfortunately) this doesn't lend itself to sharing on...

Tonight's recipe is our second effort from Plenty, by Yotam Ottolenghi. Our first attempt was the super unique Eggplant & Mango Soba Noodles, which we loved! I love all things carbs, so a dish of not one, but two types of potatoes is right up my ally. We enjoyed cooking with curry leaves for the... Continue Reading →
In case you thought we hadn't shared enough pies recently... here's the THIRD of the pies I made for Thanksgiving. I was eyeing the Cranberry Crumble Pie from Sister Pie, but when I read it in more detail, it just had a few too many steps for me to tackle along with the other pies.... Continue Reading →
We're baaaaack! Very sorry for the lack of recipes for the past few months! The dates of our blog absence directly correlate with the first and early second trimester of Ally's pregnancy with our first child!! While this is spectacular news, our blog did suffer for awhile there. Ally has been fairly sick for the first... Continue Reading →
A lot of our family and friends think because we have this food blog and enjoy 'fancy' dinner date nights, that we only eat complex, homemade dishes for every single meal. Hate to burst the bubble, but that is far from the truth. We obviously do love experimenting with new recipes and tend to take... Continue Reading →
