As much as I don’t like to admit this, I find it easy to get in cooking ruts. While the things I bake never really lack in variety, I feel like all the dinners I make are Italian, Greek, or Mexican. It’s a goal of mine to experiment with other kinds of cooking, like Asian,…

Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream
Leah and I were browsing in Williams-Sonoma recently (which we shamelessly acknowledge is our favorite store) and happened upon Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at Home. It looked fabulous, and we’d heard great things about the book. We were out of cash at the moment since it was our last stop at the mall, but you…
Flourless Chocolate Cookies
If you’re looking for a gluten-free cookie that doesn’t require expensive or difficult-to-find flour substitutions, you’ve come to the right place! These cookies are super fudgy, with chewy-crisp edges. The sea salt brings them over the top. The beauty about these cookies really is the pure chocolate flavor that comes through. They reminded us of…
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Ice cream is a popular dessert option in our house, and probably anyone’s house, but our two youngest brothers don’t always eat the more “adventurous” flavors we try (such as pistachio, even though it’s technically a classic flavor!). They were, however, thrilled when we decided to make cookies and cream ice cream, and Henry even…
Cherry Almond Dutch Baby
You know how there are some things that you don’t cook with or eat that often? It’s not that you dislike them, it’s just that you and that ingredient never seem to cross paths. For us, that ingredient is cherries. They occasionally end up in our fridge, but they’re not really one of our go-to…
Pistachio-Crusted Asparagus with Feta
After a power outage and some technical difficulties, I am finally getting a post up this week. Yay! Luckily, it’s a post about something delicious. I know, this is our second vegetable post in a row. I don’t know what’s come over us either! Asparagus is one of our favorite vegetables, but it is so…
Broccoli Slaw
Gosh, I guess it’s time for a blog post, right? Our blog has been sorely neglected- last week we were at college orientation and then on vacation in New Hampshire. Needless to say, there hasn’t been too much cooking going on in our kitchen, but we’re trying to get back to it. The food at…
Strawberry Lemonade Cookies
We’ve made a lovely strawberry frosting before, and while it is amazing and just right for frosting on a cake, it’s difficult to get a lot of strawberry flavor into the frosting without compromising the texture and thinning it out (unless you want to use some sort of artificially-flavored strawberry something, which we generally don’t…
Grilled Chicken Fajitas
Celine and I don’t normally grill that much. While we both prefer burgers and chicken grilled, it can be a pain to stand over a hot grill trying to cook everything evenly. Also, I hate being enveloped in smoke after there is an inevitable flare-up. But, dare I say that my grilling skills are improving?…
Raspberry Lemonade Bars
During the summer, I don’t tend to crave rich, warm chocolatey desserts as much as I do during the winter. It’s not that I would say no a chocolate chip cookie (who would?), it’s just that I prefer to have something a little more refreshing. Homemade ice cream, fruit cobblers, and anything involving lemon are…
