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…
Mother’s Day Recipe Ideas
We are looking forward to a nice Mother’s Day on Sunday! We have been busy all the time and hopefully this will be a nice day to show our mom how much we appreciate her. It doesn’t always show, because during the school week when she picks us up (no licenses yet here, sadly!) and…
Lemon Sugar Cookies
We are both total lemon lovers. Out there in the world, there are the Nutella-obsessed, chocolate obsessed, berry obsessed, vanilla obsessed, caramel obsessed, and of course those of us who just love lemon. Now, we both like any flavor in desserts, as long as the product just tastes good, but for a refreshing treat that…
Soft White Bread
Our mom used to be the quasi- health food junkie type (tuna melts with yogurt instead of mayonnaise, chocolate chip cookies with ground walnuts in them, whole wheat biscuits, etc.). She did- and still sometimes does, when we aren’t overtaking the kitchen- make really yummy homemade cakes, waffles, and muffins, and great soups and lasagna. …
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…
Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons
Both of us love cheesecake; in our opinion, it’s one of the best desserts ever- a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth, creamy filling, and if we’re lucky, a strawberry or cherry sauce on top. However, we have only made it once because it’s just a little bit unhealthy and requires a lot of ingredients….
San Francisco!
Gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach! We recently returned from an absolutely wonderful trip to San Francisco and the surrounding region. The weather was perfect the entire time: cloudless skies and mid 70s each day! We packed in as many things as possible during the trip, since we likely won’t be…
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
When we were younger, we (especially Celine) loved Starbucks’ crumb cake. Who could blame us? It was a yellow cake topped with a thick layer of crumb topping and powdered sugar. While we don’t really eat baked goods from Starbucks too frequently anymore, we did want to make some coffee cake. This recipe isn’t really…
Brownies with Salted Peanut Butter Frosting
We’ve mentioned our Latin class before, when we made these pumpkin cupcakes. However, we didn’t mention that our class really loves food and to bring in treats for everyone. Hey, in the words of one of our friends, just call Latin class AP lunch! Don’t worry, we do work in that class too, like read…
Roast Chicken Soft Tacos with Cilantro Cream
Do you like crunchy-shell tacos or soft tortilla tacos? Our family’s standard tacos usually involve crunchy shells, spicy beef, refried beans, cheese, and lettuce. They are tasty, but sometimes Leah and I like to mix things up a bit and branch out! This past Saturday we were in the mood for something light, fresh, and…
