    Spicy Turkey Burgers

    We love turkey burgers and during these hot summer months, count them as one of our go-to lunch and dinner recipes. One of the problems we have had with turkey burgers in the past is that the meat itself tends to dry out really quickly, particularly on the grill. To combat this we have made…

  • Strawberry Lemon Rose Sangria

    Strawberry Lemon Rose Sangria

    As we move into the hot weather of summer we love transitioning from red wines to roses. One of our favorite pickups on the weekends is to sample a new type, as there are hundreds to choose from. We bought a bottle of Loves Me Not Rose and upon drinking it, realized that it was…

  • Air Fried Buffalo Cauliflower

    Air Fried Buffalo Cauliflower

    Substituting chicken for cauliflower is one of those swaps that, when done right, makes you forget the original. Don’t get us wrong, we are not trying to pretend that we don’t love good chicken wings, but when we need a healthier swap, we turn to cauliflower. This recipe is super simple and can be used…

  • Mediterranean Lamb Stuffed Eggplant

    Mediterranean Lamb Stuffed Eggplant

    During this time of social distancing, we have become very specific about which markets we are going to and how we grocery shop and plan for the week. One of our favorite middle eastern markets, Arash, was our go-to this past week and this dish is inspired by all of the great ingredients that we…

  • Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Burrata

    Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Burrata

    Summer squash season is quickly approaching and we couldn’t be more excited! We love to use zucchini and yellow squash all summer, particularly prepared raw as a nice change from all of the hearty squash dishes we eat. This recipe calls for the squash to be shaved- which we do by rotating the squash around…

  • Cioppino

    Cioppino

    Summer means it is time for seafood and there is no better way to get a seafood fix than making cioppino. Cioppino is a seafood stew that originates in San Francisco- it has an Italian flavored tomato broth and can be made with just about any seafood you like. We like to go to the…

  • Lemon Raspberry Fizz

    Lemon Raspberry Fizz

    While we love a good afternoon happy hour beverage, we are admittedly not the best when it comes to making cocktails. We usually stick to our rotation of wines and beers and call it a day. We had some extra fruit laying around and decided to play bartender and mix ourselves a grown up cocktail.…

  • Bok Choy Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette

    Bok Choy Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette

    We buy bok choy all of the time to pair with our favorite Asian recipes like Mapo Tofu and our Steamed Mushroom Buns. Some of the dishes we make are admittedly heavy and need a veggie side kick to balance things out. We usually sauté bok choy on high heat with a bunch of garlic,…

  • Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

    Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

    Cooking 21 meals a week for four adults and baby has its challenges. To avoid “the rotation,” we are constantly trying to look online and bookmark recipes that seem new and exciting to make throughout the week. This happened a few weeks ago, when one of the bloggers we follow, Rachel Kuhn, posted about making…

  • Spicy Watermelon Salad

    Spicy Watermelon Salad

    We love the summertime and the food possibilities when we are in full blown fruit season. There is no better snack than a piece of watermelon or mango topped with a hearty pour of Tajin- a Mexican chili lime spice mix. You can find Tajin at most grocery stores and Trader Joe’s makes a comparable…
