Bucatini Carbonara
During a recent trip to Minneapolis, we had dinner at Martina and ate one of the most delicious dishes: Bucatini Carbonara. Bucatini has been a long time favorite pasta and having it Carbonara style was a first for us and a huge treat. For those unfamiliar, bucatini is a long, spaghetti-shaped pasta with a hole in the…

3 Days in Chicago
Tate has a very special relationship with Chicago as it is where he was born and raised. Spending his first few formative years in the Windy City allowed him the opportunity to explore the best of Chicago.

Homemade Caesar Salad
Caesar Salad is one of those recipes that takes 5 minutes to buy bagged from the grocery store and maybe 20 minutes to make completely from scratch. If it’s a Wednesday night and traffic stinks and you’re already running late, go with option A. But if you have some time and want to expand your…

Detox Bowls
After a long weekend of carb overload, it’s time to get the week back on track. We love a good “bowl” recipe at Tuck & Tate. We often find tasty flavor profiles and use what we have in the house to make it a weeknight dinner or lunch to take to work. This recipe is…

Cranberry & Chickpea Stuffed Delicata Squash
Not sure about you, but we can’t be the only people on Thanksgiving that wish there was just one healthy or crunchy item on the table. Don’t get us wrong, we are HERE for the mashed potatoes and stuffing, but just one little thing to help balance out the decadence goes a long way. We…

Cast Iron Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole
This dish has a bit of a history with Tuck’s mom and dad. Tuck’s mom had just finished culinary school and was admittedly a bit of a food snob at the time. It was going to be her first Thanksgiving with Tuck’s dad (this was before Tuck and before marriage) and he insisted on having…

Best Ever Mashed Potatoes
Nana has a few rules when it comes to Thanksgiving and one is that mashed potatoes should never be healthy. While we do love a good cauliflower mash and finding ways to make our favorite foods healthier, Thanksgiving is not the time that we mess with a classic. The recipe below calls for butter, milk…
