Soft Scrambled Breakfast Quesadillas with Avocado Crema
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! We know this year isn’t the margarita bar crawl that we thought it would be, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do a little to celebrate and have some fun in quarantine. We love a good breakfast situation and thought that breakfast quesadillas are a great, low key way to…

Elote (Grilled Mexican Street Corn)
Whether you’ve always been a big Cinco de Mayo celebrator in the past, this year we feel like we need to celebrate all the things while in quarantine. It helps us break up the monotony of daily life at the house and helps remind us there is a real world beyond isolation that is worth…

Grilled Chicken Club with Basil Aioli
Not trying to brag but we really nailed it with this one. We had a great sunny day over the weekend and turned on the grill to make the most epic chicken sandwiches. We love the balance of flavors of the smokey bacon, melty cheese, peppery arugula, and fresh basil aioli. We also love that…

Asparagus with Lemon and Leeks
This is the perfect spring side dish to just about everything from fish to grilled chicken and even steak. We find that giving vegetable side dishes the same amount of TLC that we would an entree makes a complete difference with our dinner experience. Instead of the standard “protein, carb, veg” day after day, recipes…

Loaded Bahn Mi Fries
Every once in a while we get a wild hair to create food that is epically decadent. Tuck’s mom had been browsing recipes for bahn mi sandwiches- a traditional Vietnamese sandwich with pork, cilantro, and pickled vegetables- and decided all of those ingredients would taste way better loaded onto baked french fries. What can we…

Semi-Homemade Barbeque Chicken Salad
Lunches can sometimes be one of the hardest things for us to pull together during the week. With juggling schedules, working from home, taking care of the dogs and kids, it is just plain hard right now to pull together good meals! We have brought semi-homemade Monday in to save the day. We leverage rotisserie…

Grilled Pizza: Spring Edition
Tate’s family loves grilled pizza. If you know us at all, you know that during the summer we are eating some form of grilled pizza every week. This recipe is very versatile, easy to prepare, and a huge crowd pleaser. We have incorporated spring ingredients as a topping to the pizza as we transition from…

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Sweet & Spicy Tahini Butter
One of the cookbooks we turn to again and again is Nadine Levy Redzepi’s Downtime. Her hearty recipes are simple in ingredients but really extraordinary in flavors. The recipe we have made the most is her dry roasted ribs with sweet potatoes. Unlike traditional bbq ribs that are drowning in sauce, her ribs are roasted…

Mapo Tofu
We have been seeing a ton of recipes online lately for Mapo Tofu. We have our go-to favorite place in Denver for getting very good, traditional Sichuan cuisine (Shanghai Kitchen) but had not tried Mapo Tofu until recently. We ordered it, immediately fell in love, and knew we wanted to recreate it at home. This…

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lemon Herb Sauce
We have been trying to incorporate more fish into our dinner menus lately. If you have people that aren’t into fish, the key to making it a winning dish is to up your sauce game. Mahi mahi is a white fish that is very mild in flavor; it will take on nearly any flavor profile…
