It’s about time that we put a burger recipe on our blog! Perfect time, too- just in time for summer grilling season. Despite what our blog might look like, we both appreciate a good burger now and then. If you are wondering, our favorite is a grilled burger topped with American cheese, caramelized onions, and…

Spicy Bean Burrito
I recently watched Julie & Julia for the first time, which is surprising considering it came out 4 years ago and it is a movie about cooking. While I wasn’t a huge fan of Julie (whiny and overly obsessed with Julia Child), I enjoyed the movie as a whole because Julia Child was pretty funny….
Caprese Pasta Salad
When I first became truly interested in cooking and trying out recipes from cookbooks, my favorite thing to make was super easy: a caprese sandwich that was from a Swedish cookbook, weirdly enough. It consisted of a ciabatta bun topped with a thin layer of mayonnaise (I know, not really a traditional caprese flavor), lettuce,…
Feta, Roasted Red Pepper, and Spinach Pizza
If you haven’t been able to tell before, we love pizza. If it’s good pizza, we wouldn’t mind eating it every day. It’s always fun to try new variations on the classic pizza (even though that doesn’t need much improvement). So, here is our latest pizza creation: a crisp pizza crust topped with a super…
Creamy Chicken Salad
Chicken salad is one of those things that can be either completely amazing or kind of scary. We are pretty picky about how our food has been prepared, so we would never order chicken salad from, say, a fast food place or the supermarket (the thought of it makes us cringe). However, we have had…
Spinoccoli Pizza
This pizza has been on our to-make list (well, 8 page document of recipe links…) for quite a while now. We finally got around to making it as one of our last vegetarian meals for Lent. It turned out to be spectacular, ranking up there with Grandma pizza (please, please make this as soon as…
Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza
We’ve never been to Chicago before, so the deep-dish pizza we’ve been limited to has been from Uno Chicago Grill. It is pretty yummy, but it is super expensive for the amount of pizza that you get. Also, never, ever look up the nutrition facts like we did. It will ruin you for their pizza…
Soft Pretzel Bites with Roasted Jalapeno Cheese Sauce
If there’s anything better than tortilla chips with cheese dip, it’s pretzels. And when you take warm-out-of-the-oven homemade soft pretzels and pair them with a spicy and cheesy sauce, you have something monumental, and we are here to tell you about it. Roasting jalapeno peppers brings out the best of their flavor, and they are…
Ricotta Gnocchi with Kale Pesto
Gnocchi is one of my (Celine) favorite foods. A restaurant nearby sells amazing gnocchi with shrimp, almonds, marinara, and basil. The gnocchi are tender and delicious, the sauce and shrimp are flavorful, and it is just a spectacular meal! Generally, gnocchi is made with potato and uses a ricer, which we don’t own (although Smitten…
Buffalo Chicken Salad
Yes, we are still giving up meat for Lent, but by technicality fasting is not required on Sundays. Besides, we were just really tired of eating hummus or guacamole for every meal! We took advantage of this opportunity and made what caught both of our eyes this week- a salad topped with buffalo chicken and…
