Greek Chicken Salad

I love chicken salad, as I’ve mentioned before.  It is a favorite quick and delicious lunch option in our house. We have made several variations on the classic, and this one is a particular favorite. No surprise there, since it’s inspired by Greek flavors. You make a tzatziki sauce to stir the chicken in, and…

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…

French Onion Soup Sandwiches

Everyone, I have to apologize for the lack of posting this past week and a half. We’ve been completely busy with various schoolwork/activities which has put a damper on the amount of time to post. Also, most of our cooking has been in the evenings or for guests so I haven’t had a chance to…

Black Bean Burgers

The burger that you are looking at here is a black bean burger that is just as delicious as a regular beef burger, guaranteed (unless you dislike meat- if so, then you’ll find that this one is way better!). Leah and I agree that it is silly to try to make vegetarian foods that clearly…

Grilled Ratatouille Muffaletta Sandwich

Our family has a subscription to Martha Stewart Living Magazine, and the two of us and our mom love it because it has beautiful things in it- gorgeous fashion tips, classy decor, and pictures with the most golden light you ever saw. They also make whipping up a fancy 3-course meal complete with a decorated tables…

Spicy Poblano Burgers with Pickled Red Onions and Chipotle Cream Sauce

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….

Perfect Breakfast Sandwich

This is one substantial sandwich! We came home starving after taking the SATs, and it made the perfect lunch. What makes this sandwich so good, you ask? Well, it starts with a delicious herb butter with basil, thyme, dill and garlic. It’s pretty great on its own. Then, you add some cheese, an egg cooked…

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…

Spicy Shrimp Po’boys

Po’boys are not something that those of us hailing from places other than the south are usually familiar with. Originating in Louisiana, they usually contain meat or shrimp and are served on a nice piece of French baguette. The origin of the name is disputed, but all can agree that this sort of sandwich is…
