Pumpkin roll is something that we’ve enjoyed for many years. Our grandparents used to own a home in Central Pennsylvania, and our Grandmom used to buy pumpkin rolls from an Amish farmer’s market that was located nearby. Also, a good family friend of ours who babysat for us when we were little often brought a…
Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese
Growing up, grilled cheese was never one of our favorite things. Plain cheese (usually American cheese) and bread was not usually an option that we picked. Now that we’re older, of course, we have realized that there’s a whole word of flavorful and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches that don’t involve processed cheese product and nothing…
Ultimate Banana Bread
I (Leah) am obsessed with banana bread- I could eat it every day. Plain, with nuts, with chocolate chips- as long as it’s banana bread, I like it. Celine doesn’t always love banana bread because she doesn’t really like bananas, but even she loves this banana bread. It is the perfect basic banana bread because…
Gougeres
Gougeres are a delightful type of pastry from the Burgundy region of France. Every bite is cheesy, rich, and airy with a hint of crispness. People are sometimes afraid of Pate a Choux, which is the type of dough used in cream puffs/eclairs and is also the base here, for fear that it’s complex or…
Basic Chili
Everyone needs a good, basic chili recipe before winter starts. While this chili does have to simmer for several hours, it’s still pretty easy because there is not too much hands-on time. Generally, we’re not huge fans of chili with kidney beans, but this chili has plenty of thick sauce and meat to even out…
Caramel Brownies
Whatever your feelings were about the election, these brownies are a perfect response. They will surely cheer you up if you are unhappy about the results (chocolate always improves things!), and serve as a tasty victory dessert if you are happy about the results. We look forward to voting in the next election! Politics aside,…
Apple Puff Pancake
One of the first things that we tried to cook was a savory puff pancake with mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and cheddar cheese. It was our own creation, and, needless to say, it was pretty bad (and we even served it with ketchup…yuck). However, another recipe that we started making shortly after was this apple…
Roasted Chicken Wraps with Black Bean Salsa and Guacamole
After having Halloween last week and way more candy around than usual, we were ready for something healthy and light! This dinner fit the bill quite nicely. The flavors from the black bean salsa perfectly accompany the guacamole. Bonus, they say the more colorful a meal is, the healthier, and this wrap has plenty of…
Cranberry Bread
Hurricane Sandy is finally here, and earned us a four-day weekend! As long as our power stays on, we’re not complaining (although we have it really lucky; some folks who are in the path of the storm more in NJ and NY are losing more than their electricity, which is so sad). What better time…
Peach Pound Cake
You might be wondering why we made a pound cake with peaches in it in October, instead of something normal and seasonal like apple pie. Well, we’ve had some chopped peaches that our grandmother froze for us about a month ago, when the peaches were getting overripe. Finally we had a chance to pull the…
