Lately things have gotten pretty busy and our homemade meals are few and far between. This is one of those few and far between meals. A healthy creamy sauce with no cream whatsoever and grilled chicken over noodles. Dustin was skeptical of a cauliflower-based sauce, and while I don't think he was convinced it could ever replace a rich, authentic...

As I mentioned a few days ago, we were brimming with Mexican food the week before Cinco de Mayo. I fully intended to write out all of the posts for the delicious food we made, but then real life happened. This past weekend was my first experience as a graduate student where I understood how being a graduate student completely overwhelms and...

We are celebrating the week leading up to Cinco de Mayo with a whole slew of Mexican recipes I've been brainstorming and saving up for the past few months (and margaritas), beginning with these chicken tamale burrito bowls. These bowls have everything I love topped on my Chipotle burrito bowl from the store, but made at home and with polenta...

The Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes of a few weeks ago were a resounding success, so if your brain works the way that ours do, the next natural step is to take another of our favorite flavor combinations and transition it into a sloppy joe. What do you think about the flavors of buffalo chicken? We think Frank's and blue cheese make just about...

This pesto chicken lasagna is probably my favorite lasagna we've made. In fact, this could be one of my favorite all-around dishes we've made in the recent past. I was sure it would be good (the main ingredient is pesto...), but my expectations were definitely exceeded. The texture of the noodles came out great, but the flavor is what blew me...

Well it's finally happened. We hit the point where we weren't able to make a daily post. I really thought it would happen last quarter, but I made it through. Just into the third week of the winter quarter, I already have a lot more work and a lot more responsibility. I definitely wouldn't have made it through last quarter without some help from...

After the success of the Doritos crusted chicken tenders, we wanted to give a Mexican twist to the idea and crust chicken with tortilla chips, and serve it on top of a salad. Pretty healthy, right? The dressing on its own is a little boring— just chipotle powder blended with light sour cream and avocado, but when served with the tortilla chip...

I wanted to combine all of the flavors of a jalapeño popper into one giant and delicious sandwich. I described my idea to Dustin— basically make the middle of the sandwich the filling of a jalapeño popper, a delicious chicken salad with cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and chopped bacon. Of course, I wasn't forgetting the jalapeño part....

Why we have not yet incorporated our favorite buffalo chicken flavors into a pizza is beyond me. We made this pizza the other night when we watched the college football national championship game. Football food at its finest— hot sauce mixed with butter, chicken, blue cheese, onion (for some crunch instead of celery), as well as some burrata...

I bet you can guess what Dustin's initial reaction to this dish was. "Pumpkin?" again. But just to be fair this pumpkin dish didn't have any cinnamon or ginger, but rather was spiced up with lots and lots of curry powder. We didn't have super high expectations from this dish, but we were absolutely blown away by the flavors. I was stuffed to the...
