This isn't much of a recipe, but rather a perfect flavor combination— fresh, lightly seared scallops over brown rice and sweet roasted peppers topped with slightly spicy chorizo— that all explodes in your mouth at once. The cooked chorizo creates a delicious, greasy (in a good way) sauce for the scallops and complements the peppers. Top with...

I cannot wait to make it back to Europe for a visit to Spain to eat some authentic Spanish paella. Until then, Dustin and I had to improvise and make our own, which was very simple to do thanks to this recipe from Epicurious. It was really fast and easy to come together. This version has chorizo and shrimp, but I bet it would taste great with...

Whenever I'd visit my dad's family when I was kid, German sweet rice was always served. It's really just a rice pudding, like every culture seems to have, but for me it will always be German. I hadn't had it in forever until a few months ago when my mom went online and looked for a recipe and made it for us. Now I'm sure it is becoming a staple...

One of the best restaurants on the Microsoft campus is an Italian sandwich place that cooks your sandwich in a wood-fired oven. Now since our apartment complex didn't have a model that came built in with a wood-fired oven, I decided to cook up my italian sandwich in a traditional oven. Once we're billionaires, we'll have a wood-fired oven in our...

This dish reminded me of home so much. Dr. Pepper is quintessentially Texan, and even though we really don't eat pulled pork barbecue back home, we haven't had anything...

I have five words words for you. The perfect Super Bowl food. This recipe is also from How Sweet It Is. I told you I really like this blog. There are a ton of inspiring recipes including these cheesy Mozzarella stuffed meatball sliders. We served these for football watching on Sunday, and they couldn't have gone over better. We've started...

I think I have found the perfect use for leftover cans of pumpkin. It's after Thanksgiving, and everybody is sick of pumpkin pie and other dessert containing the word pumpkin. Using pumpkin in a savory dish, spiced with paprika and garlic rather than cinnamon and nutmeg, was a really fun way to use up pumpkin puree, allowing me to focus on...
