Deviled Egg Potato Salad

Think Spring! Oh, sorry. Too soon? Winter is soup and stew season, and I am the last person to try to rush us out of the beautiful snowy winter. But sometimes, even in winter, I sneak this Deviled Egg Potato Salad onto the menu. And […]

Avgolemono Ramen Soup

Recently, our brother’s friend Darren tweeted us and asked if we have a ramen soup recipe. I love making all things ramen, but we didn’t have a ramen soup on the blog. And this challenge was extra fun coming from a guy who I would […]

Hibiscus Mint Mojitos

With temperatures below freezing one week, and into the 70’s the next, I’m having trouble keeping track of time. In my mind it is April, but maybe that has more to do with the fact that January felt like it was 14 weeks long. Yesterday […]

Easy Scallops and Fettuccine for Two

Rice Dainty

Hot Chocolate Pops

Can we agree that the worst part of drinking hot chocolate is waiting long enough for the piping hot mug of coziness to cool down? But not too long so that it is no longer “hot” chocolate. Lukewarm easy-chug hot chocolate is just not cozy, […]

Cold Snap Shandy

Do you ever have to rearrange the beer in your fridge before you can put the groceries away? Do you ever have to take out some beer so you can fit food that will actually nourish your children? It doesn’t happen very often, but first […]

Fancy Mac and Cheese

Is there any dish more universally loved than mac and cheese? From microwavable easy mac to oven baked with expensive cheese and lobster, there are countless recipes within the macaroni and cheese category. In fact, I was hesitant to even put this recipe on the blog with […]

Bloody Mary Shrimp Salad

I never really understood people who like tomatoes, but not ketchup. Or how about people who like ketchup, but not tomato sauce on their pasta? But I have to say that I do understand not loving tomato juice, yet loving everything about a bloody Mary. […]
