    Spicy Shishito Peppers

    Ordering shishito peppers at restaurants is one of our go-to appetizers. They are healthy and adapt to almost any flavor profile.

    Buffalo Chicken Dip was not something that Tuck’s mom was familiar with until she met Tuck’s dad.

There are countless ways to make this dip, and we consider this the indulgent but mostly…

    Making dinner with our spouses is pretty seamless 95% of the time. By that, we mean that we cook whatever we want and our husbands typically don’t have complaints.

We wanted items that were tasty but felt light…
