Today is our eighth snow day of the school year! I find it funny that we originally had today off, but after our first few snow days the administration made today a school day again. Unfortunately for them, it snowed yesterday and last night, so today got re-cancelled. I personally really like snow, but I…
Orange Ricotta Chocolate Chip Muffins
We are finally done our yearbook layouts for the year! I’m sure that we have mentioned it at one point or another, but the two of us and our friend Danielle comprise the senior section of the yearbook. For the past five months, we’ve been at yearbook for a couple of hours a day after…
Almond Poppy Seed Pancakes with Almond Cream Sauce
Hi everyone! Our electricity has been out since early Wednesday morning, which explains why we haven’t posted since Monday (no WiFi either). Our school has been cancelled for the past few days due to power outages as a result of ice, and on Monday we had a day off because of snow! I’m pretty sure…
Homemade Thin Mints
Leah and I were Brownies for about two weeks when we were little, and that has been the limit of our Girl Scouting experience. This does not mean we haven’t purchased an overpriced box or two of Girl Scout cookies now and then subsequently. I’ve spent far too much money on them and to be…
Greek Pita Pizzas
This pita pizza was supposed to be the subject of our very first blog post, but the picture was absolutely hideous. We never posted about it, and then we slowly forgot about it. Thankfully, we re-remembered it when we had a cucumber and some yogurt in the fridge this past week. I’m glad we did….
Banana Black Bottom Muffins
Have you ever had a black bottom muffin/cupcake? It’s basically a chocolate cake base with a cream cheese cheesecake-like topping and it is definitely a decadent treat. These have some redeeming nutritional value since they have three bananas and we used low-fat cream cheese, but do not be fooled- even though these are acceptable for…
Our Favorite Pizza Crust
As you can tell from our blog, our pizza stone gets quite a workout. We use it at least every week or so because everyone loves pizza and it’s easy. We like to make fun topping combinations frequently, but no matter how great the toppings are, you need a great crust to start with. We…
Grapefruit Olive Oil Pound Cake
One of our aunts makes an olive oil cake that is truly excellent. She’s made a rosemary lemon cake and a fennel cake with a berry compote on top. Each time she’s made it, Leah and I have told ourselves to find a good recipe and make one on our own! Because an olive oil…
Pepper Jack & Cheddar Bean Dip
Whenever our mom made chili when we were younger, we would always pick around the kidney beans that she put in it. We did not enjoy refried beans on our tacos, and we certainly did not eat black beans. Over time, we have realized that beans are not nearly as unappetizing as they seem to…
Chocolate Chip Waffles topped with Almond Butter, Honey, and Sliced Bananas
Our littlest brother loves waffles, especially chocolate chip. Our mom usually makes waffles once a week, so Leah and I rarely bother. But we generally find it a challenge to pass up trying a “specialty” waffle recipe, so of course we had to try this one. It’s a fun twist on the peanut butter- banana-…
