Leah and I were first officially introduced to Belgian liège waffles at a restaurant in Boston called Saus, which specializes in Belgian waffles and fries with a variety of sauces and toppings. It’s one of our favorite places to go, but when we aren’t at school there is a serious lack of these caramelized, crunchy,…

Shakshuka
(iPhone shot from our Instagram. Characteristically, I accidentally left my real camera at school over Easter break!) Long time, no post! Despite the radio silence here over the last few months, we’ve still been enjoying great food and cooking whenever we get the chance (which, since we live in dorms without kitchens at school, isn’t…
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…
Blueberry Muffins
Our mom has always enjoyed making muffins, particularly blueberry ones. Too often, though, blueberry muffins are dry in some spots and then overly moist and soggy wherever blueberries are. Thankfully, these are perfect. The base is made with canola oil, sour cream, and buttermilk, which all prevent it from being dry. The streusel on top…
Blueberry Yeasted Waffles
Leah and I tried making yeasted waffles twice before we made these, and they were both literally flops that didn’t rise properly. However, these sounded promising because 1) the recipe is from Cook’s Illustrated and 2) there are mini blueberries in the batter! These were a great success, as we suspected they might be. The…
Triple Chocolate Muffins
Life has been moving quickly lately. We have only a little over 20 days of school left, and the past few weeks have been crazy- a class trip to New York, a few more college acceptances, more snow delays, a research paper, lots of tests, a new job, etc. The next month or two promise…
Bacon Cheddar Scones
Thanks to our penchant for baking, we are always on the lookout to find breakfast foods that can be baked, aren’t full of sugar, and are fun to make. Sure, muffins are delicious, but sometimes we don’t want to start our day with a dessert. Enter these scones- they are perfect for your baking craving…
Whipped Honey-Vanilla Yogurt with Toasted Coconut, Pineapple, and Sliced Strawberries
Since we gave up sugar for Lent, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for desserts (and breakfasts) that are only sweetened with natural sugars like honey, maple syrup, and fruit. We came across this lovely yogurt recipe in the latest edition of Martha Stewart Living. You whisk together Greek yogurt, a bit of heavy cream,…
Orange Ricotta Chocolate Chip Muffins
We are finally done our yearbook layouts for the year! I’m sure that we have mentioned it at one point or another, but the two of us and our friend Danielle comprise the senior section of the yearbook. For the past five months, we’ve been at yearbook for a couple of hours a day after…
Almond Poppy Seed Pancakes with Almond Cream Sauce
Hi everyone! Our electricity has been out since early Wednesday morning, which explains why we haven’t posted since Monday (no WiFi either). Our school has been cancelled for the past few days due to power outages as a result of ice, and on Monday we had a day off because of snow! I’m pretty sure…
