I've had my eye on this "Healthy" Deep Dish Cookie Pie from Chocolate Covered Katie for awhile now, just waiting for an opportunity to bust this recipe out. Seattle potentially facing it's worst snowstorm in more than two decades? My first true experience with snow? Sounds like the perfect excuse to bake something warm and gooey to me. The oven...

This lasagna recipe has sounded amazing to me for quite awhile now, but I could never bring myself to make it because it's drenched in Alfredo sauce— delicious but ridiculously unhealthy. Finally I took the time to search out a "healthy" Alfredo-like sauce recipe, which Dustin declared would be a disaster. But once again he had to trust me...

I don't know how many times I will have to eat this dish before I become sick of it, but truth be told I'm not so sure that will ever happen. This pasta, or a variation of it, has constantly been on our menu for the last several years, and we still devour it every single time. This love affair started one day when we decided to use homemade...

The coconut pancakes, perfectly light and fluffy, from the Hobbit Cafe in Houston that we discovered shortly before moving are the Houston brunch food I miss the most. I used to despise coconut, but we ate this amazing coconut cream pie the night we got engaged and ever since then, for some reason I really enjoy the flavor of coconut. Who knew...

I'm convinced the Texans victory last weekend was the result of the delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookies I baked. Naturally I had to make more for today's game. I'm not taking any chances. Maybe my cookies are the good luck charm the Texans need to take down the Ravens! For today's game festivities I decided to use the cinnamon M\&M we...

I was looking through our kitchen cabinets trying to figure out how to get rid some of the stuff we have stockpiled. Unfortunately, we just don't have the storage space to have an awesomely stocked kitchen. I came across the small boxes of cornbread mix we bought around Thanksgiving but ended up not using and thought to myself, "how can we...

This recipe is related to our Peanut Sauce and Chicken Flatbread, not surprising since we still had a mostly full jar of Trader Joe's peanut sauce. I was inspired to make this dish based on an episode of the Nate Berkus Show I happened to catch while I was visiting my parents for the holidays. Jamie Oliver was visiting Nate's house teaching him...

The last time we ordered takeout pizza, we faced a dilemma about what pizza to order. We narrowed our topping choices down to our traditional favorite of pepperoni, basil, and black olives, chicken and bacon with ranch dressing, and barbecue chicken. After much deliberation we settled on the pizza with ranch dressing. But ever since that moment,...

Dustin's aunt, uncle, and cousins sent us a cool kitchen gadget for Hanukkah— an omelet pan. Seeing all of our experimentation in the kitchen, I think that was a pretty perfect gift! We've never tried making omelets, as I'm sure we'd never be able to make them look pretty. We're better at scrambles. But now we have a cool new pan to make things...

I think have found the secret to perfect chocolate chip cookies. Browned butter. Seriously. Both Dustin and I have proclaimed these cookies to be the best chocolate chip cookies we have ever tasted. Although maybe I should reserve judgment until I’ve tried the infamous New York Times' perfect chocolate chip cookies where you have to let the...
