Around the end of school last year, we went to a local restaurant that happens to be our favorite, or at least our favorite place outside the city. I (Celine) ordered a pizza topped with spicy tomato sauce, clams, bacon, caramelized onions, crispy fingerling potatoes, Parmesan cheese, and sharp provolone. It was amazing! Clams on…
Cannoli Ice Cream
Hello everyone! I know we just posted a frozen dessert on Wednesday, but this ice cream had to be posted. You will understand why if you make it! Cannoli are our favorite Italian pastry, without a doubt, and one of our favorite desserts. Isgro Pastries in Philadelphia is our favorite place to buy them. Their…
Watermelon Lime Granita
I don’t know about you, but where we live it has not been a hot and sunny summer! We’ve had quite a few humid and rainy days, scattered in with some nice weather, but it’s been 90 degrees only a couple days in the past month or two. So honestly, there has not been so…
French Baguettes
I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but I (Leah) really enjoyed chemistry at school, so much that I took AP Chem. Well, Celine also took the class, but I quote directly from her, “after the happy honeymoon period of the first couple classes ended, I was done for the whole year.” Well, she…
Everything Burgers
Nope, these burgers have nothing to do with everything bagels. They are simply topped with, well, everything. Let’s make a list: you start with a homemade bun and then you top the bun with quick garlic aioli, lettuce, sliced avocado, a burger patty, cheese (any kind you like), homemade pickles that take about five minutes…
Grilled Corn Guacamole
As we have mentioned before, guacamole is definitely one of our favorite foods to make at home. It’s WAY better than most kinds that you can buy at the store. While we will never get tired of plain old guacamole, it’s also fun to try a new version. We love corn when it’s in season,…
White Chocolate Pudding with Strawberry Curd
While pudding is a year-round dessert, this pudding is definitely perfect for summer! The strawberry curd on top of this pudding is like nothing I’ve ever had before, yet it somehow has the familiar texture and faint flavor of lemon curd. It is unbelievably good! The curd would go nicely inside a cupcake, drizzled over…
Sun Dried Tomato and Artichoke Dip with Homemade Bagel Chips
I’ve been thinking about my college essay a lot lately. Probably because the Common App opened yesterday. For those who don’t know, the Common App is a website that allows you to easily apply online to hundreds of colleges. There’s a standard essay, but most colleges also have supplemental essays as well. The issue with…
Peanut Butter Ice Cream
For some reason I have been on a peanut butter kick lately. Maybe it’s due to all the peanut butter sandwiches that we ate in Camden. Anyway, I have been craving peanut butter milkshakes (we made some, and they were so awesome that we’ll blog about them at some point), Reese’s cups, the amazing salted…
Scallops Provençal
This recipe is the first time that we enjoyed scallops! Our mom has made the mistake in the past of buying scallops from the normal grocery store, which are extremely nasty- fishy and gross. To be honest, we never even tried them because they made the house smell disgusting. And to people like us who…
