Edamame Soup

Edamame Soup
This soup is the perfect use for the leftover créme fraîche from the mussels in cider. I'm a big fan of edamame, but it is typically one of those things I only eat if it comes gratis with the sushi we've ordered (as much as I enjoy edamame, I don't think I could ever convince Dustin to order it in favor of fresh fish). Incorporating edamame into...

Mussels in Cider

Mussels in Cider
It's been an incredibly long time since we've posted something. There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day for work/school, creating and cooking new and interesting meals, writing about them, and sleeping. Trader Joe's frozen meals and easy repeat meals have become a staple on our weekly menu. But we did make these mussels cooked in...

Sausage and Pepper Tortellini Soup

Sausage and Pepper Tortellini Soup
I bought a family-sized package of cheese tortellini when we made this spinach and artichoke tortellini soup and only used half off it. While the spinach and artichoke version was light and refreshing, this meaty, tomato and pepper version was much heartier and fall/winter appropriate. Originally I envisioned large chunks of sausage or chorizo,...

Homemade Pasta + Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Rind

Homemade Pasta + Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Rind
Boy was this a delicious meal. We stopped by our local cheese shop, and on a whim bought some fresh burrata. When we tried to decide what we would actually eat the burrata with, all we could settle on was some kind of awesome pasta. I set my sights on making a damn good tomato sauce and great homemade linguine. It came out great! The pasta...

Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese Puff Pastry Pizza

Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese Puff Pastry Pizza
Puff pastry pizzas make a fabulous dinner or party appetizer, and it's very low maintenance to make. The puff pastry makes such a flaky and buttery crust. Although you could do a variety of toppings (I think a caprese version with cherry tomatoes and basil would be perfect in the summer), this particular variety is perfect for the holiday...

Spinach and Artichoke Tortellini Soup

Spinach and Artichoke Tortellini Soup
We've been eating crazy amounts of spinach lately. For the last few weeks, most mornings for breakfast, we've been drinking green smoothies for breakfast. Dustin was skeptical about the potential deliciousness of putting spinach in a smoothie, but has since perfected a version with bananas, honey, raspberries, mangoes, fresh orange juice, and...

Leftover Turkey Noodle Soup

Leftover Turkey Noodle Soup
Another of my leftover turkey recipes from last year. It's a super simple soup recipe that you can make even on the busiest of nights. Dustin actually made this for me and had it ready and waiting for me when I arrived home from a long day at school. I never got around to making chicken noodle soup like I wanted, this similar turkey version was...

Leftover Turkey Chipotle Cranberry Quesadillas

Leftover Turkey Chipotle Cranberry Quesadillas
This might be my favorite use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Whole Foods has this amazing chipotle cranberry cheddar cheese that is subtly sweet and spicy. When paired with turkey it makes a delicious quesadilla. I got super busy and very behind on posting around this time of the year, so I decided to write up all of the recipes we made...

Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup

Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup
Let's face it. It will never be really be soup weather where I live, so I have to get my fill of warm, comforting soups when I'm wearing T-shirts and pretending it's cold. I've previously made a more gourmet version of buffalo chicken soup with blue cheese biscuits and all, but I wanted a more everyday version, so I combined the idea behind that...

Jalapeño Popper Burgers

Jalapeño Popper Burgers
Although we've made jalapeño chicken popper sandwiches that might be a little more true to the spirit of a jalapeño popper, but these burgers are lightly spicy from jalapeños with lots of creamy cheesy goodness− all of the best parts of a jalapeño popper. Perfect for grilling season when it is too hot to turn on your oven or fry something in...
