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
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.

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…

Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Sandwiches
We love Thanksgiving leftovers as much as the next person, but we find that half the fun of eating all the leftovers is creating new recipes to “reinvent” what we have in the refrigerator. Last year, we cured our Thanksgiving hangovers with an epic leftover breakfast. Knowing that this year is going to be more…

Caramel Apple Mimosas
We always like to have a cocktail for Thanksgiving to help get in the spirit for our favorite holiday. There is something about a signature cocktail that sets a nice tone for the evening and is always a mood booster. Even though we aren’t having guests for Thanksgiving this year, feeling “in the spirit” is…
