Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a great 2015 and is looking forward to the new opportunities and adventures of 2016! While neither of us are the most ardent New Year’s resolution-ers, we always have the goal of eating more mindfully, particularly fresh food (sometimes this goal is achieved better than at other…

Feta Flatbread with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Red Peppers
Wow, are we bad at blog posting this summer! The first part of the summer compromised of working and babysitting a lot, while the past month has seemed to have evaporated away in the midst of shopping and otherwise preparing for college. We leave on Wednesday, which is hard to imagine! Leah and I are…
French Onion Toasts
At our little brother’s first communion party a couple weeks ago, we served these lovely French onion toasts- or should I say, our little cousin served them! She walked around with a plate of them and helped serve them to guests, and it was super cute. These toasts were the hit of the party, and…
Spinach Feta Dip with Lemon and Oregano
Both of us really love spinach dip- both the cold kind that involves ranch dressing packets and sour cream and the hot cream cheese-and-Parmesan one. As delicious as they are, though, they’ve been done a million times and they’re very decadent. We love making variations on classic recipes, and this recipe was no exception. It…
Lighter Poppy Seed Dressing on a Strawberry, Parmesan, and Almond Salad
Today is our eighth snow day of the school year! I find it funny that we originally had today off, but after our first few snow days the administration made today a school day again. Unfortunately for them, it snowed yesterday and last night, so today got re-cancelled. I personally really like snow, but I…
Pepper Jack & Cheddar Bean Dip
Whenever our mom made chili when we were younger, we would always pick around the kidney beans that she put in it. We did not enjoy refried beans on our tacos, and we certainly did not eat black beans. Over time, we have realized that beans are not nearly as unappetizing as they seem to…
Cranberry and Turkey Sliders topped with Sage and Prosciutto
We are sadly back in school this week after a beautiful two full weeks off. Our school has several buildings and so we have to walk outside when switching classes, which should be awfully fun Tuesday morning when the temperature is to be 1° and the real feel is to be -20°. I know it’s…
Sun Dried Tomato and Artichoke Dip with Homemade Bagel Chips
I’ve been thinking about my college essay a lot lately. Probably because the Common App opened yesterday. For those who don’t know, the Common App is a website that allows you to easily apply online to hundreds of colleges. There’s a standard essay, but most colleges also have supplemental essays as well. The issue with…
Melted Cheese and Chorizo Dip
We finally succumbed to one of the recent food trends…chorizo. Neither of us really understand the point of food trends, because anything can taste good at any time. Cupcakes are still awesome, for those who say that the craze is over, fancy tacos were great 5 years ago, and pies, well, even our founding fathers…
Sweet Corn Cakes with Tomato-Avocado Relish
Sometimes I wonder what my favorite fruit is, and then it comes to me- avocado! I love it in guacamole best, but most recipes that have it are great! Although I recently saw bloggers make cookies and pudding with avocado, and I am not too sure about those…I question such a choice (there is no way…
