Asparagus with Lemon and Dill Sauce

Asparagus, while delicious, isn’t the most exciting side dish out there. However there are so many ways to spice it up. Wrap it in bacon, grill it, marinate it, roast it…I pretty much will eat this veggie in any form. But I have to say, […]

One Pot Chicken and Lentils

Lentils. Ech, they sound so boring. But I beg you to allow your preconceived lentil notions to be redefined by One Pot Chicken and Lentils. Just like rice and pasta, lentils are good for soaking up flavor. This recipe combines some surprising ingredients, such as […]

Thin Mint Cookie Bites

Can we discuss for a moment just how incredible Girl Scout Cookies are? I’m not kidding when I say that one of the most serious fights my husband and I have ever gotten in was because he ate my Tag Alongs while I was pregnant. […]

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

It’s that time of year again for sending and receiving all kinds of mixed messages. Do we really think flowers are a waste of money, and dinner reservations are too much trouble, and chocolate is too many calories? And when our other half says not […]

Rice Dainty

What is Rice Dainty? I made this dessert (if that is, in fact, what it is), ate a bunch of it, and still can’t quite give you a good answer. It is whatever you want it to be. It is rice Pudding-esque, and therefore it […]

Easy Fish Chowder

As former New Englanders, we take chowder pretty seriously. I know I’m not a true New Englander because I grew up in Western PA. But I did eat enough of it in the 11 years I lived up north to know what I like in […]

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, […]
