Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Why we have not yet incorporated our favorite buffalo chicken flavors into a pizza is beyond me. We made this pizza the other night when we watched the college football national championship game. Football food at its finest— hot sauce mixed with butter, chicken, blue cheese, onion (for some crunch instead of celery), as well as some burrata...

Chocolate Chip & Crystallized Ginger Cookies

Chocolate Chip & Crystallized Ginger Cookies
Eating these cookies warm from the oven is the perfect way to cozy up on a winter's afternoon. Granted it's not really winter where I am. I think we dipped into the mid 60s today. While the rest of the country is freezing (apparently every state including Hawaii experienced freezing temperatures!) , LA is enjoying its usual beautiful, perfect...

Chimichurri & Flank Steak Pizza

Chimichurri & Flank Steak Pizza
I feel like it's been forever since we posted a pizza, not since before we moved to California (unless you count this cauliflower crust one, which was good, but I wouldn't consider it a true pizza). Dustin had this brilliant idea to use chimichurri as the sauce for a pizza, so we basically turned this favorite burger of ours into an...

Potato & Egg Beer Breakfast Tacos

Potato & Egg Beer Breakfast Tacos
I told Erin I wanted to make breakfast tacos for a Sunday morning. We debated all the possible tacos and settled on potato and eggs (plus cheese because Erin is Erin). And Erin's input was that she wanted really really crispy potatoes. I told her I'd do my best considering she won't let me deep fry that early in the morning :) My potatoes came...

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
Simple, traditional, and utterly delightful. Spaghetti alla Carbonara is a classic Italian staple, and its such a minimal set of ingredients. Importantly, it takes very little time (especially compared to a homemade pasta sauce). Fry up a little pancetta, cook some pasta al dente (we used some high quality dried tubular pasta from my mom),...

Pita Chip Nachos with Spiced Lamb, Feta, & Hummus Slaw

Pita Chip Nachos with Spiced Lamb, Feta, & Hummus Slaw
I came up with this on a whim, and I completely miscommunicated my intentions to Erin. I think she expected a lamb shank with a sublet humus dressing, but instead she essentially got pita chip nachos. Now, I would consider her lucky because who doesn't want to be eating pita chip nachos? Our weekly trip to the farmer's market significantly...

Chocolate Mudslide Pancakes

Chocolate Mudslide Pancakes
I've never actually had a Mudslide to drink, but it sounds like something right up my alley— chocolate, Kahlua, and Bailey's Irish Cream. I bought a bottle of Bailey's awhile back with a strong desire to make a Bailey's syrup. Bailey's syrup on chocolate pancakes seemed like the perfect combination. We didn't have any Kahlua, so instead we added...

Scallops + Blood Orange & Meyer Lemon Relish + Roasted Fingerlings

Scallops + Blood Orange & Meyer Lemon Relish + Roasted Fingerlings
I'm not sure where the idea for this dish came from, but it has been fermenting in my head for awhile. In promising to eat better this upcoming year, we came up with this really colorful and healthy meal. We bought some beautiful buttery scallops from a vendor at the farmer's market along with a bunch of fresh produce and this colorful,...

Champagne Cupcakes with Raspberry Filling

Champagne Cupcakes with Raspberry Filling
We rang in 2014 with a quiet evening watching the ball drop in NYC, drinking and eating champagne in cupcake form, and hanging with our girls. Yup, you heard me right. Bonnie now has a little sister named Bella we adopted a few days ago. Maybe we are insane because Bonnie is such a good dog, and we are about to add a lot more crazy to our...
