No fruit pairs better with chocolate than a raspberry. That's why I impulsively bought a bag of dark chocolate raspberry M\&Ms at Target during my visit to Houston. While snacking on the bag on the plane, I had the brilliant idea to make raspberry M\&M pancakes, like chocolate chip pancakes but instead of chocolate chips, I would use raspberry...

Sangria is summer in a glass. Even though the high temperatures here are still in the 50's, peachy orange sangria allows you to pretend the long, beautiful summer days are already here. We found a recipe here for a white sangria with peachy undertones as a base that we modified because we wanted to use our Citron orange liqueur. We used...

Blood oranges are my new favorite citrus fruit. All I've been dreaming of lately is a citrusy and sugary blood orange glaze. What could be a more perfect canvas on which to drizzle the fabulous combination of blood orange juice and powdered sugar than a scone? Make that an almond scone. Perfect with a chai tea latte or cup of coffee for a quick...

Like honey roasted nuts, only lower in calories. Honey roasted chickpeas make a yummy and healthy snack! Definitely peel the skins and wait for them to fully harden after roasting so that they get a nice crunch. Packaged cutely, they would make a nice gift.

I would venture to say this spinach lasagna rivals any meat lasagna in terms of pure tastiness. It reminds me of spinach dip in lasagna form with a lovely creamy texture. I truly think the secret to awesome lasagna is no boil lasagna noodles. If you can find them at the grocery store (which you can't always), why wouldn't you use them? They...

It's been way too long since I've baked with peanut butter, and the thought of a peanut butter and chocolate chip muffin with a cold glass of milk in the morning really hit the spot. These muffins aren't too bad for you since they use whole wheat flour and have a good amount of fiber. These muffins are dense and make a very filling...

After the success of our Mozzarella Stuffed Meatball Sliders, we wanted to stuff more cheese into meatballs. We decided feta in lamb meatballs was the perfect combination. We used the same basic recipe used for the meatballs in the sliders, just switching feta for mozzarella and ground lamb for beef. These meatballs weren't quite as exciting...

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...

We love watching Big Bang Theory together, and we love the idea of getting takeout Chinese food and having a fun night in as they so often do on the show. Unfortunately getting takeout Chinese is not particularly healthy, especially my favorite dish— sweet and sour chicken. I just love that sauce. I could dip anything in that. And unfortunately...

Lunchbox Laboratory, Seattle's gourmet hamburger joint recently opened in Bellevue (I'm sure we'll share more of the delicious details later), and we are pretty stoked. At our first visit to this hamburger joint, I had the Burger of the Gods, covered with blue cheese, a great cheese to take a boring hamburger to fabulous cheeseburger. Next time...
