Spring is finally here,and we have less than two months of school left! We have been starting to see recipes with fresh fruit popping up all over the internet and got in the mood to do some spring baking ourselves. We decided to make use of some ricotta in the fridge and make these delicious…
Spinoccoli Pizza
This pizza has been on our to-make list (well, 8 page document of recipe links…) for quite a while now. We finally got around to making it as one of our last vegetarian meals for Lent. It turned out to be spectacular, ranking up there with Grandma pizza (please, please make this as soon as…
Triple Onion Dip
Onion dip has a kind of bad reputation sometimes. It’s usually one of those fattening dips (such as queso, cold spinach dip, veggie dip, etc.) that involves lots of mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese, the heart attack trifecta that makes dips shockingly addictive when paired with a few mix-ins and a big bowl of…
Blackberry Pie Bars
There are sometimes recipes that we see, are immediately inspired to make, and miraculously have all the ingredients on hand. This was one of those happy occasions! We didn’t do any baking all week since we are cutting back a little bit before our trip to California that is coming up (more information underneath the…
Mint Brownies
These brownies are possibly the best you will ever eat, unless you have an ardent hatred for mint! The ganache and the mint frosting (or “mint ice cream,” according to our 7-year-old little brother. We didn’t correct him because it was too funny!) make an almost melt-in-your-mouth topping for the fudgy brownie underneath. Basically, these…
Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza
We’ve never been to Chicago before, so the deep-dish pizza we’ve been limited to has been from Uno Chicago Grill. It is pretty yummy, but it is super expensive for the amount of pizza that you get. Also, never, ever look up the nutrition facts like we did. It will ruin you for their pizza…
Baby Bluebird Cupcakes
Happy almost Easter, everyone! Sorry we haven’t shared any spring-related recipes prior to this; we’re not very good about planning ahead so we generally do any holiday baking on, or the day before, the holiday. But we do have these to share, and they are quite possibly the cutest cupcakes ever (or at least the…
Soft Pretzel Bites with Roasted Jalapeno Cheese Sauce
If there’s anything better than tortilla chips with cheese dip, it’s pretzels. And when you take warm-out-of-the-oven homemade soft pretzels and pair them with a spicy and cheesy sauce, you have something monumental, and we are here to tell you about it. Roasting jalapeno peppers brings out the best of their flavor, and they are…
Coconut Cream Pie
Right now, you are looking at one of the best pies ever: coconut cream pie. All pies are good, especially cream ones, but this one really takes the cake (or pie…) in our opinion. Honestly, how can you say no to a crispy, buttery crust filled with an addictive coconut- vanilla bean filling, a cloud…
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…
