Cake Batter Milkshake

Cake Batter Milkshake
The perfect accompaniment to cake batter bark? A cake batter milkshake? We used a little less cake mix and added some frozen banana to make it a smidgen healthier. There's really nothing better than drinking your cake.

Corned Beef Hash

Corned Beef Hash
Best way to use leftover corned beef from our Reuben sandwiches (beside more Reuben sandwiches for lunch)? Make an easy one skillet corned beef hash for brunch. Oh yeah, and top with an egg, sunny side up. It was super easy and super delicious, so we just thought we'd share!

Artichoke Pesto Quesadillas

Artichoke Pesto Quesadillas
We finally had ONE day of nice, spring-like weather before the cold and rain came back, so Dustin and I jumped at the chance to have dinner outside on our patio and long for the warmer days ahead. Awhile ago I had seen a recipe for quesadillas with artichokes and pesto, which sounded good, but I had the idea to make a pesto with...

Stuffed Chocolate Elvis French Toast

Stuffed Chocolate Elvis French Toast
When we buy really good bread, we make lots of French toast. I've said it once, and I'll say it again, good French toast starts with good bread. This time we got a little crazy and went with stuffed French toast, which I think is just a fancier way of saying grilled breakfast sandwich. This breakfast sandwich is insanely rich and decadent. We...

Etta's Brunch

Etta's Brunch
Etta's Seafood in Pike's Place Market will always hold a special place in our heart since that is the restaurant where we got engaged. To celebrate our engagement and upcoming wedding (one week from today!), we stopped by Etta's for brunch on a beautiful Seattle Sunday morning. We got a great table by the window and were actually able to see...

Gorgonzola and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Gorgonzola and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts
This is how you do baked chicken. All of the yummy, creamy stuffing keeps the chicken super moist, juicy, and downright heavenly. You'll actually forget you are eating boneless, skinless chicken breasts. This dish was so easy. We cooked up sliced onion and minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Then we added some fresh spinach and sauteed...

Spinach Crackers

Spinach Crackers
I saw this recipe for spinach crackers on Oh She Glows around St. Patrick's Day, and I made a mental note to make them when I tried my hand at homemade hummus. I really liked the idea of sneakily incorporating some spinach into crackers. I used a star cookie cutter I had because I thought it would make fun and perfectly sized crackers. I...

Homemade Hummus

Homemade Hummus
I finally did it! I finally made homemade hummus the right way. We bought dry garbanzo beans and soaked them over night before following this popular hummus recipe by Mark Bittman on Epicurious. The taste was awesome by taking the extra step to soak the beans, but we still can't get the creamy texture of the hummus served at Mediterranean...

Carmelized Onion and Beecher's Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Carmelized Onion and Beecher's Grilled Cheese Sandwich
There is no way I can have leftover Beecher's cheese in the house without making a grilled cheese sandwich. The Beecher's store at Pike's Place Market makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches, and one week when Dustin and I hit up John Howie Steak for lunch I saw a caramelized onion and Beecher's grilled sandwich on the menu that inspired my...

Jelly Bean Martini

Jelly Bean Martini
Fun fact of the day: jelly beans became associated with Easter in the 1930s because they look likes eggs, just like the Easter Bunny brings to symbolize new life. And what better way to celebrate the holiday than with a jelly bean infused cocktail. We tried our hand at a Jelly Bean Martini, which requires a little bit of prep and patience, but...
