Green Shakshuka
Here at Tuck & Tate we love a good weekend brunch. Now that Tate has a human brother, brunch gatherings sometimes feel easier to pull off than dinners. When preparing a good brunch we always try to plan a menu of both sweet and savory dishes so that there is a little something for everyone.…

Beet, Goat Cheese, & Farro Salad
We have jam packed this salad full to the brim! Unlike our Semi-Homemade Pesto Caprese that we made earlier in the week, this recipe will have you in the kitchen for a bit more time if you are cooking the beets from scratch. We promise it is worth it! If you want to save some time, look…

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.

Bok Choy Salad with Sesame Vinaigrette

Mediterranean Bulgar Salad
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,…

Asparagus with Lemon and Leeks
This is the perfect spring side dish to just about everything from fish to grilled chicken and even steak. We find that giving vegetable side dishes the same amount of TLC that we would an entree makes a complete difference with our dinner experience. Instead of the standard “protein, carb, veg” day after day, recipes…

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…
