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…
Honey-Lime Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos
Are you a Hunger Games fan? For me, Harry Potter will always be #1, but I have to admit, I really, really liked Catching Fire. It was cast very well (Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Liam Hemsworth…you can’t go wrong with them), the special effects were great, and I may or may not have been…
Cranberry Snowdrift Bars
I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving itself was good since we weren’t cooking, but when we attempted some new recipes for just our immediate family yesterday, none of them turned out that well. The rolls were a little dense and not very flavorful, the pumpkin pie was very mediocre, and our…
Poached Pear and Almond Tart
Happy Thanksgiving! We are finally getting around to posting a recipe suitable for Thanksgiving- after everyone has already planned their menus. Oh well! As we’ve said before, we don’t cook for holidays in advance just so that we can blog before the holiday (mostly because we are at school all day, have homework all night,…
Strawberry Cake
Hi, everyone! We’re sorry about the week off from posting-we were very busy this past week with activities and homework, so we ran out of time to post. But we have some great recipes for you this week, including this cake: Our 18th birthday was on Thursday! The only wild and crazy thing we plan…
Coconut Chocolate Chip Blondies
You might remember that we posted blondies on here before. These are a slightly more jazzed-up version, with a whole cup of coconut in the dough. They are perfectly chewy and delicious, and topped with a chocolate drizzle and packed with chocolate chips, they are fantastic. Next time we may try toasting the coconut for…
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…
Brioche Burger Buns
I’m of the opinion that really great sandwiches are all about the bread. Floppy, flavorless bread is a sure way to ruin a delicious sandwich. Maybe that’s just me, though, because I usually like the bread more than the sandwich fillings. I also think that great burgers need to start with a delicious bun. There’s…
Smoky Chorizo Hash with Fried Eggs
I am convinced that one of the perfect foods is a potato hash with some delicious mix-ins. You might recall the asparagus and bacon hash we made a while ago, but I must say that this hash better. First off, you have chorizo (which you really can’t go wrong with), and then you have potatoes,…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies
It’s yearbook deadline week, which means one thing…hours of work! (And therefore, very short blog posts.) Sadly, I won’t have time for making delicious cookies like these. But you might! And these cookies really are amazing. Peanut butter-chocolate chip dough is smooshed together with chocolate-chocolate chip dough to make a beautiful swirled cookie. I made…
