Spicy Enchiladas
The other night we were craving Mexican food and enchiladas was one of the first things that came to mind. Enchiladas are not normally on our menu rotation and we thought this was a fun way to mix up our routine. This recipe is a bit homemade and a bit store bought. By using pre-made…

Grilled Calamari Steaks With Lemon Caper Sauce
When Tate’s family was living in Chicago, they became obsessed with eating the grilled calamari from Saranellos in the northern suburbs. The dish was perfectly created to feel light yet flavorful and filling. We were recently on a weekly grocery trip and discovered calamari steaks at the fish stand. Calamari can be a little tricky to cook.…

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…

Spring Risotto with Carrot & Asparagus Salad
On top of everything else in the world making us feel a little crazy, nothing can ever beat Denver weather. On Saturday we were in shorts and t-shirts getting sunburned and by Sunday morning the ground was covered in snow. During this time of year, we like to have meals that can help us transition…

Lemon Chicken with Artichokes
Happy Passover! We hope that everyone had a nice Seder and a great night of eating. This year’s Seder “was not like all other nights” for a lot of reasons, and we hope that this year was still a good evening to connect with family and friends, even if it was virtually. We had a…
