Cauliflower Steaks with Herby Caper Sauce
We. Love. Cauliflower. Can you tell by the crazy number of recipes we have posted using it?! It is a hearty and versatile versatile vegetable that combines well with just about any flavor combination. Lately we have used it in our Semi-Homemade Cauliflower Bowls, and as the base for a sauce in our Cauliflower Mac & Cheese.…

Smashed Potatoes with Goat Cheese & Pesto
Our good friend Lea has been snapping pics of her homemade potatoes and we immediately reached out for the recipe. Normally recipes from her are hard to come by because of lot of her cooking has been taught in person, without recipe, from her amazing, Italian mama. Luckily for us, this time, she was willing…

Sticky Miso Green Beans
We have implemented a “Steak Saturday” tradition during quarantine.

This bulgar salad is one of our go-to side dishes. For those unfamiliar with bulgar, bulgar is a grain that is made from cracked wheat. It tastes like a hybrid between quinoa and rice, with a little bit more of a crunch and texture to it. It is also cooked similarly to quinoa and rice,…

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…

Fried Rice: Quarantine Edition
Cooking in self imposed quarantine has provided a fun opportunity to get back to the basics of cooking. This recipe reminds us of our days in college – using up what we had in the fridge and freezer to create something out of nothing. Fried rice is the pinnacle of quarantine food. You could make…

Chipotle Lime Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
This is a recipe that Tuck’s mom has modified over and over again in the last few years because they are so versatile. This version of stuffed potatoes is a great side dish for grilled steak and adobo chicken. If you prefer vegetarian, one can of black beans or sliced avocado can easily be added…

Herby Roasted Potatoes
This is a simple recipe to up your side dish game. When we get overwhelmed in the kitchen, the first thing that falls by the wayside are the side dishes. We love this recipe because once the potatoes are in the oven, you can forget about them for 40 minutes and focus your attention on…
TUCK & TATE
