Hit #1 from our Super Bowl party appetizers. At the party we went to, everyone was asked to bring an appetizer to watch the big game. Normally I'd bring dessert, but a long standing and fattening tradition at the Super Bowl party we went to is Super Bowl Sundaes. Literally there were 5 kinds of ice cream, numerous toppings from candy and...

These are probably better to share in the summer when you have barbecue cookouts to go to or whatever. That's actually when these were made, but I just found my (crappy) picture and recipe on my computer and realized I forgot to post them. Oops. But baked beans taste good any time of year. Add bacon and bourbon and these legumes are a side dish...

We really enjoyed our visit to Arizona last month. One of the highlight dishes we heard so much about before the trip was the chopped Stetson Salad from Cowboy Ciao that definitely lived up to its hyped up status. Dustin's mom secured us a copy of the recipe before we left, and we decided to go ahead and give it a try since we already had tons...

There's a food cart (and now diner) here in Seattle you might have heard us rave about in the past called Skillet that serves up upscale versions of breakfast diner foods as well as fancy chicken sandwiches and burgers. Plus it was through Skillet's street cart that we were first introduced to poutine and have subsequently made it ourselves from...

I can't believe 2012 is coming to a close. It's been a busy one with us getting married and all— maybe not as busy as the year before between graduating, a trip to Europe, a cross-country move to Washington, a new job for Dustin, and the adoption of the sweetest puppy in the world, but an exciting and memorable year to say the least. I'm really...

The end of the year means the important part of football season has arrived. Between college bowl games and the NFL playoffs there are plenty of games to keep a fan like me occupied! Especially since the Texans will get to play a role! Beat those Colts again today! Dustin and I love making a variety of appetizers for game day when we watch at...

The only savory food connection I have with Christmas day are these sausage balls. Every year my Grandma sits them out on Christmas day, and I plan to just eat a couple, but I end up eating enough to be my meal. Sausage balls are super easy to make with Bisquick, cheese, and ground sausage being basically the only ingredients, although I added...

While the rest of our meal wasn't entirely successful, the dinner rolls I made to complement it were the complete opposite and definitely the highlight of the meal. I halved the original recipe for the two of us from Kirbie's Cravings and King Arthur Flour, and over the course of two days, Dustin and I gobbled the entire pan's worth. It may or...

French onion dip is one of those things you usually buy prepackaged for parties and get togethers, but the homemade version is so much better tasting and better for your heart. You can spend a good while standing over the stove caramelizing onions and shallots on the stove. Or you can roast them as we did when inspired by this recipe from Bon...

Homemade eggrolls are a fun, easy, and versatile dinner, party appetizer, or football food. If you can find eggroll wrappers. I looked at both Whole Foods and Safeway. Nothing. I finally decided we'd have to make a special trip to the Asian grocery store to look for them, until we started using Amazon Fresh's delivery service. Now, I have a...
