This bourbon peach glazed chicken with maple roasted asparagus is a great blend of sweet and savory, all out of our own creation. We made a delicious glaze using a jelly base (we used Amaretto Peach Pecan), a few splashes of bourbon, and some chopped peaches. We brushed a little bit on some boneless, skinless chicken breast and popped these...

I've mentioned our love of Indian food here a lot, and one thing we always, always order now when we eat Indian are mango lassis, a sweet and fruity yogurt drink. They are like smoothies except so much more rich and addictive. So when I saw a recipe for a mango lassi inspired muffin with a really interesting sounding crunchy filling on Scarletta...

When I visited my parents in Evansville last month, I ate a delicious cannoli, and it reminded me of this adorable recipe I'd seen somewhere long ago. After a little bit of searching, I found the original recipe for these awesome mini cannoli cups. Cannolis seem like a real pain because you have to fry the shell, but this recipe is all about the...

This has to be one of my favorite lunches that I've made to date. We made a simple pecan crusted chicken for dinner one evening by dipping chicken breasts in flour, egg, then chopped pecans and lightly frying them on the stove top, and then we turned the leftovers into a delicious lunch. I took a whole wheat tortilla, added the chicken and a...

Most homemade birthday cakes come from a box these days. Cakes made from a box have a distinct, nostalgia-inducing flavor that I think people enjoy on their birthdays, so for this cake I wanted to mimic a yellow cake made from a box, but make it completely from scratch. I chose a recipe from Bakerita for the cake and a recipe from Confessions...

I admit I've been scared to try putting greens into my smoothie. I read that you can't taste them at all, but I still the thought of spinach in my smoothie freaked me out a bit. I finally chose to take the plunge and give it a try though. I decided I wanted to make a strawberry and banana smoothie with a Greek yogurt and almond milk base. I also...

Enormous juicy tomatoes from the farmer's market, balsamic onion spread, fresh mozzarella, basil from our garden, topped with a little olive oil and salt, all laid out on crusty bread and placed in the panini press until everything is warm and the cheese is gooey? Yes, please. This might be the best lunch ever. It just tastes like summer with...

Also known as those addicitve, soft,  grocery store, sugar cookies, decorated with frosting for your favorite holiday, and plenty of ingredients you can't pronounce. I never knew what to call them until now. I also never thought they could be recreated at home, but you can get pretty close. Dustin said the powdery texture of the grocery store...

What do you do when the mint plant in your garden is overflowing with fragrant leaves? Make mojitos, of course! We made classic mojitos in the past, and we've definitely learned to appreciate the art of mojito making. It's definitely a skill to properly muddle the mint; it's not a drink to order at crappy bar for happy hour. This drink requires...

We had one of the best restaurant meals we've had in a really long time at the lovely Cascina Spinasse in Capitol Hill. If you read the reviews on Yelp, you'll read tons of praise for this restaurant, and based on our experience every complement received is totally deserved. According to their restaurant description, Spinasse serves up fresh...
