  • Potato and Leek Soup

    Potato and Leek Soup

    We love soup pretty much all year round, but right after the holidays we have them on our menu regularly. Soup is great on a cold day, easy to make, and an ideal option for a healthy meal when we have our hearts set on January resolutions. The crunchiness of the leeks combined with the…

  • Maple Dijon Salmon

    Maple Dijon Salmon

    This is the recipe that converted Tuck’s dad from straight up refusing to eat salmon to requesting it on the menu once a week. If you are looking to bring some of your picky eaters out of the dark and into the light when it comes to fish, this is your recipe. We love this…

  • Butternut Squash Bisque

    Butternut Squash Bisque

    We are the first to raise our hands and admit that packing in the veggies in the wintertime isn’t easy. Salads in the snow are a tough sell. Soup, however, is on the menu many days of the week. This recipe for Butternut Squash Bisque is one of our favorite healthy recipes that we make…

  • Nutella and Jelly Air Fried Sufganiyot

    Nutella and Jelly Air Fried Sufganiyot

    If you follow us on Instagram, you know that we love to treat ourselves to donuts! Sweet, crispy, fried dough – what is not to love? One of the most popular Hanukkah desserts is sufganiyot. For those unfamiliar, sufganiyot are Israeli donuts that are traditionally stuffed with jelly. We decided to recreate sufganiyot in our…

  • Sweet Potato Latkes with Cinnamon & Honey Mascarpone

    Sweet Potato Latkes with Cinnamon & Honey Mascarpone

    Eight nights of Hanukkah can feel like quite a latke (see what we did there?) To keep the nights feeling fresh we love to mix it up with latke flavors. For our 2019 latke we went the savory route by combining a few different kinds of potatoes and making a Green Goddess sour cream that…

  • Smoked Brisket on the Big Green Egg

    Smoked Brisket on the Big Green Egg

    With the exception of 2020, we usually host a big Friendsgiving sometime in November. We change the theme and menu from year to year, but we always have two staple dishes: fried turkey and smoked brisket. With no Friendsgiving on the docket this year and a hankering for brisket, we decided to make it this…

  • Japanese Winter Salad with Miso Dressing

    Japanese Winter Salad with Miso Dressing

    A few weeks ago we set out to create a dinner menu for our mom’s birthday. We are typically a family that goes out to celebrate birthdays, but in the world of Covid that isn’t possible. We wanted dinner at home to still feel special and celebratory, and settled on a combination of a catered…

  • Cast Iron Cornbread

    Cast Iron Cornbread

    Cornbread is one of our go-to winter side dishes. After experimenting with different ways to prepare cornbread we have settled that the best way to cook cornbread is in a cast iron pan. Pouring creamy batter into a scorching hot pan gives it an instant crust and a chewy center which screams “dunk me in…

  • Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

    Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

    We had good friends over for brunch a few weekends ago and went to work brainstorming a delicious menu. It’s so easy to gravitate towards the same recipes over and over, so we wanted to break out of our shell and mix things up! For the main dish of our brunch menu, we chose to…
