This risotto is a great option for a winter dinner because it is quick and easy to make, it is as warm and comforting as a bowl of soup, and, of course, it tastes delicious. We have tried out a couple of other risotto recipes, and this one is by far the best. It’s so…
Peppermint Bark Cookies
A few weeks ago, well before Christmas baking season had really begun, we saw a bag of peppermint bark baking pieces at Trader Joe’s. It obviously went into our cart pretty quickly! We waited for a little while to use them, and finally made these cookies. They were very, very good! The peppermint bark pieces…
Popcorn Balls
Popcorn balls are something that we have enjoyed since we were little, thanks to our popcorn-loving mom. It is only time for us to put a recipe for them on our blog! They are often overshadowed by other easy desserts, such as rice krispie treats, but in our opinion, they are one of the yummiest…
Ricotta-Filled Crepes with Berry Coulis
A crepe is one of those things that seems more intimidating and challenging than it actually is, but once attempted, is way easier than expected. We’ve made crepes many times before, and our mom made them many times before that, and every time they turn out nicely. They are a little tricky to flip if…
Oreo Peppermint Bark
This peppermint bark is pretty much amazing- there are no other words to describe it. Peppermint bark is usually delicious made in the traditional fashion (unless the layers of chocolate and white chocolate are too thick, resulting in a boulder of hard-to-eat candy) but adding chopped Oreos to the top brought these up a couple…
Apple Cake
This year, our dad’s birthday was two days after Thanksgiving. With all the busy cooking that went into that, and our birthday cake, we wanted to make something simple. We decided to make our grandmother’s apple cake, which has always been a family favorite. The cake batter couldn’t be easier, and the flavor is delicious….
Homemade Pizza
Now that we finally got a pizza stone-something we’ve wanted for a while- we obviously had to make pizza on it, and so we did it as soon as possible. We were really, really happy with our first homemade pizza attempt involving a pizza stone! We’ve made homemade pizzas before but (with the exception of…
Lavender Lemon Cake
As we mentioned in our last post, Wednesday was our birthday, and we decided to make this cake. Our mom said she felt bad having us make our own cake, but we enjoy making cakes! After a lot of deliberating, we decided on this lavender lemon cake. For those who have never tried lavender in…
Brown Butter Crispy Treats
Our birthday was on Wednesday- we are 17 now! It’s pretty exciting, even though we don’t have our driver’s licenses yet. However, what we do have now is the awesome and brand-new Smitten Kitchen Cookbook plus a pizza stone (is that weird for teenagers?). With Thanksgiving being yesterday, we wanted to give the new cookbook…
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Parmesan
On every Thanksgiving table there deserves to be a spot for a slightly healthier and lighter vegetable dish (because realistically, green bean casserole is covered with cream sauce and fried onions and therefore is not a super healthy choice) to help offset the mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pie. For some people, this means some sort…
