We're not francophiles per se. We don't have Eiffel tower images as our computer desktop backgrounds or provence lavender bath salts, but we do appreciate most things French. The French 75, or Soixante Quinze, was apparently named for a French... Continue reading

Halibut with shallot-parsley relish

Here's an antidote to the nachos, chips and dip, and chicken wings so many of us will be wolfing down this Sunday. A tender, flaky white fish topped with fresh shallots and parsley. It's easy, it's tasty, and it's relatively... Continue reading

Imagine our horror and surprise when we realized how simple English toffee is to make. Egads! It's just been added to our holiday baking rotation because it's so incredibly easy and also meltingly rich and delicious. We are SCREWED! But... Continue reading

Pepper wedges with goat cheese and asparagus

These festive little apps are freaking great! We snagged this savory hors' d'oeuvres recipe from Sunset magazine (and modified it a teensy bit). We often find their concoctions too complex for our lazy brains and fumbling hands, but pepper wedges... Continue reading

Scrambled eggs and tomatoes

We recently spent a week in China, during which we ate a lot of eggs and tomatoes (a recognizable dish with no head attached. Score!). It's delicious and super easy, too. We made up our minds to recreate it when... Continue reading

World's Best Chicken?

We recently came across this recipe on Pinterest for "World's Best Chicken", originating from the website of one Rachel Schultz. We thought: We like chicken. We have these ingredients. We need an idea for dinner tonight. So we set about... Continue reading

Cajun shrimp with creamy polenta

This easy and spicy/comforting dinner is a recipe we threw together after fifteen minutes of gazing into our cupboards and fridge, groaning that we didn't know what to cook. Cajun shrimp was born as a happy accident and we've prepared... Continue reading

Kale slaw with walnuts and feta

We're thinking of retitling our blog "Another Kale Salad". We're always looking for delicious ways to bring more leafy greens into our diet, and this salad, if we do say so ourselves, is a home run. We copy catted it... Continue reading

Frozen, chocolate-covered bananas

So, chocolate-covered bananas happened because our kids wanted popsicles and we had none in the house and no desire to run to the store. We had never tried making these banana dippers before, even though they're kind of a classic,... Continue reading

A tale of two stocks

We've been wanting to try making our own veggie stock for quite a while. So much so that we started saving veggie kitchen scraps in a giant Ziploc bag in the freezer. Right around the same time, friend and some... Continue reading

Slow-cooker tikka masala

This is a Real Simple recipe that we tried one frantic weekday and ADORED. We loved being able to throw all the ingredients in the crockpot and go. We started our version mid-afternoon and cooked it on high for 3... Continue reading

This is the most amazing, buttery risotto ever. The creamy rice and chicken stock and cheese create, in your mouth, an elegant soireé. The type with sterling silver candlestick holders and Chet Baker pulsing through hidden Bose speakers. Except that... Continue reading

Smoked salmon pasta

This year we pulled out a smoked salmon on Christmas Eve and noshed on it. The filet was huge, though, and we ended up with leftovers. Not people to waste a perfectly great and extremely spency fish, we combed the... Continue reading

We've been wanting to make bruschetta for a long time. Like forever. We don't know what was stopping us. We've done tomato, basil, mozzarella skewers as well as caprese salad and other variations on the tomato/basil combo. Recently we've been... Continue reading

Skillet fried bok choy

We've recently discovered how delicious baby bok choy can be when sautéed in garlic- and ginger-infused oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Also known as Chinese cabbage, bok choy is rich in Vitamins A, C, and folate and a... Continue reading

Poached salmon with mojito sauce

We've been looking for a great salmon recipe to give you. All the rubs and marinades we've tried recently have not thrilled us. A few weeks ago, we picked up Trader Joe's Mojito Salmon. We liked it, but thought we... Continue reading

Sausage, onion, and roasted potato hash

We hit upon this satisfying, comforting combination one night while frantically searching for dinner ideas. You know that scramble, right? The, oh-crap-it's-5:30-and-the-hungry-beasts-will-descend-any-minute panic. Yeah. So we threw all this together. It was so good and easy, we made it again... Continue reading

Lentil Shepherd's Pie

This is a hearty vegetarian take on traditional shepherd's pie. A meal that was necessary we whip up. It's extra rainy and cold here in Seattle again. Time for comfort foods that contain lots of potatoes and preferably some gravy.... Continue reading

Roasted potatoes with truffle oil

We realize that truffle oil isn't something everyone has lying around the house. It requires a trip to a fancy grocery store, or at least a fancy aisle of a normal grocery store. It also requires a small investment. We... Continue reading
