A couple weeks ago, after hearing me wonder aloud for the millionth time “why aren’t we saving more every month?”, Dan metaphorically wrestled me down and made me walk through, in excruciating detail, all of our expenditures for the previous month. Turns out, I shop a lot! And, we eat out/order in a lot! So now, in…read more »
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Italian Salsa Verde
A few weeks ago I flew out to Portland for a long weekend with some girl friends, and we spent 72 hours eating our way around the city. Did we plan our whole trip around food? Definitely yes. And. It. Was. AMAZING. The food scene in Portland is crazy good, you guys. A sampling of…read more »
Whole Roast Duck
For Friendsgiving this weekend I roasted a duck. I’m all about turkey alternatives this time of year (turkey is not my jam), and duck is one of my favorites. Dark meat, crispy skin, melty fat…I love it all. I’ve been dying to roast one myself for years now, but for some reason it seemed more daunting than…read more »
Pumpkin Chili
Keeping up the theme of “hearty, rib-sticking, warm-you-from-the-inside meals for cold weather“, I’m back today with a recipe for pumpkin chili. Strictly speaking, there’s more than just pumpkin in this chili (ground beef and onions and garlic and tomatoes, for example), but it’s pumpkin season, so the pumpkin takes precedence! To be honest though, if…read more »
Oxtail Osso Buco with Parmesan Polenta & Dark Chocolate Olive Oil Mini Trifles…and a GIVEAWAY!
Happy November, everyone! Can you believe it’s November already? Fall is well and truly upon us. Soon enough, it’ll be Thanksgiving, and then Christmas will be here in a flash, which means it’s definitely time to break out the stretchy pants ASAP. Especially since, holidays aside, the colder weather makes everyone want to bust out their favorite soups, stews, roasts, and…read more »
Shoyu Ahi Poke
You may remember that when Dan and I were in Paris last year, we almost exclusively ate bread and cheese for every meal – not because we didn’t have any other options, but because the stuff was so fresh and delicious. In Oahu, we fell back into our single-food-focused ways, only this time our obsession was with poke instead of bread. Like…read more »
Crock Pot Kalua Pork + Hawaii
I’m baaaaaack! From Hawaii AND from my blogging hiatus. I return bearing gifts of pictures and stories and tasty recipes inspired by our trip to paradise. Just so you know, I’m still in denial about being back from the islands, so the next few recipes I post will be Hawaiian or Hawaii-inspired. Deal with it. OK? OK. Alright, let’s…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Eggs Benedict Burger
I don’t know about you guys, but the dilemma that I constantly face when we go out to brunch is whether I should order something breakfast-y or something lunch-y. Usually, the struggle involves deciding between some sort of eggs benedict (smoked salmon, crab, spinach, pork belly…mmmm) and whatever delicious-sounding burger is being featured that day. On the one…read more »
Pan Roasted Chicken, Potatoes & Asparagus with Truffle Honey Mustard Sauce {Sponsored Post – Maille}
Guys you might not know this, but Dan and I are mustard fiends. At any given point in time, if you come to our house you’ll probably find at least two bottles of yellow French’s mustard in the pantry, and between two and four jars of Dijon/grainy/honey mustard on the shelves. The yellow mustard is for when we have hot…read more »
Crock Pot Al Pastor
I’ve told you guys my al pastor story before, right? (Ugh, look at those crappy old pictures). You know…a taqueria opened up in the student center across the street from my dorm sophomore year, and I simultaneously discovered a deep passion for al pastor burritos and gained 10 lbs in one semester? It was a…read more »
