Sometimes what we make is based off of what sounds particularly great at the moment (usually guacamole or cookies!), but other times it’s based on what we have to cook with. When faced with an eggplant that didn’t particularly appeal to us, we thought that maybe is could be improved by roasting it and putting…

Baked Southwestern Egg Rolls
A couple of weeks ago, we went to the nearby city for the weekend with our school for a Model UN conference (kind of nerdy, we know, but it was fun. Well, at least it was fun walking around the city to shop and eating basically all meals at restaurants!). Out of all the great…
Chicken Ranch Pizza
Until now, we hadn’t tried any unique pizza recipes. However, we remedied that this weekend by trying chicken ranch pizza! We are Catholic, so every year we give something up for Lent. This year, we are challenging ourselves by giving up meat. Since Lent starts Wednesday, we only have a few more days to eat…
Pesto Focaccia
Focaccia is something we have always had mixed feelings about. A lot of the focaccia we have had is kind of salty and crispy, almost like a cracker but thicker and more chewy (and more often then not, bland or way too herby). But then again, we had never had it homemade before, and 95%…
Broccoli Potato Soup
Usually when we pick out recipes they are either a) unhealthy, which means they are probably a bad idea to make or b) require us to go get a bunch of ingredients.The other day, our mom wanted us to make something that used up things in the fridge instead. Our solution was this soup. Potato…
Guacamole
Updated to add a new photo on 3.9.13 We are both convinced that there are few things better than really delicious guacamole. It makes a great lunch, snack, or dinner. Our mom likes to buy the guacamole from Trader Joe’s, and we like it too, but homemade is way better. We’ve made this a couple…
White Pizza
There’s a moderately funny reason that in this picture is only one sad, small slice of white pizza all by itself. After making a lot of pizza the other night, we made sure to put aside half a pizza to photograph for the blog. We decided to let it sit on the counter for twenty…
Chicken Taquitos and Refried Beans
It seems like most people really like Mexican food; many of our friends have obsessions with places like Chipotle and Qdoba and bowls of chips with salsa, guacamole, or queso dip. We definitely agree- we love it! Taquitos are lots of fun both to make and to eat. To us, they taste sort of like…
Risotto with Chicken and Caramelized Onions
This risotto is a great option for a winter dinner because it is quick and easy to make, it is as warm and comforting as a bowl of soup, and, of course, it tastes delicious. We have tried out a couple of other risotto recipes, and this one is by far the best. It’s so…
Homemade Pizza
Now that we finally got a pizza stone-something we’ve wanted for a while- we obviously had to make pizza on it, and so we did it as soon as possible. We were really, really happy with our first homemade pizza attempt involving a pizza stone! We’ve made homemade pizzas before but (with the exception of…
