Oregano Pesto Blitz

Gabby / January 7th, 2018

This year I brought in all my plants before the frost started.  A lot of my herbs grew well and I’m hoping skip buying new plants in the spring. 

Butternut Squash Carbonara

Gabby / September 10th, 2017

So I’ve been craving carbonara pasta. Ethereal and creamy with a smoky hint of bacon.  Small problem – my carbonara never turns out right.  I always psych myself out when its time to add the raw, beaten eggs to the hot pasta.

Mushroom Pasta with Walnut Basil Pesto

Gabby / October 23rd, 2016

My basil has been experiencing a growth spurt.  Naturally, my thoughts turned to pesto.  Any recipe can be improved with the presence of pesto…. never mind, I lied – it’s the abundance of garlic that makes any recipe better.  

Burgers with Lime Mayonnaise

Gabby / August 26th, 2012

The intent was to successfully finish our epic fish marathon.  Our game plan was extensive and detailed: the tilapia would be blackened to hide the fact that we were still eating fish

5 Minute Chocolate Sauce

Jen / August 19th, 2012

Have you ever reached the point when you’ve done so much homework that you want a chocolate fix so badly but at the same time you are too lazy to drive to the closest McDonalds to buy an ice cream sundae?  I have.

Grilled Salmon with Mushroom Shallot Sauce

Gabby / August 5th, 2012

Facts of life: I love salmon.  I love mushrooms.  And I LOVE shallots.  So when I found a recipe that combined all three I was pretty stoked.  In fact, I was so excited that I neglected to read the recipe.   You think I’m kidding?  I’m completely serious.   But I’m going to blame this on the fact that I was secretly craving mushroom stroganoff.

Little Italy in Thailand

Jen / July 29th, 2012

So, there are two stories that relates to this recipe (I promise you it will only take two bullet points, and less time it took Ted Mosby to tell his kids how he met their mother or the number of women he slept with before he met their mother).

Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

Jen / July 22nd, 2012

It was 10 o’clock at night and I was listening to my tummy, the block of hardened Ciabatta lying on top of my toaster, and my homework sitting pathetically on the living room floor. Thus, I decided as a responsible college student enrolled in summer school, it was completely logical to not suppress the urge to make bread pudding with vanilla sauce,  I mean, you can’t work on a disgruntle stomach – right? Tell me otherwise. I dare you.
