These beer glazed fish tacos were the inspiration for this healthy fish taco dish. We obviously couldn't use a local Texas beer, so we improvised with what we could find— a mango beer that we thought would go well with a citrus salsa. For a side, we ate sweet potato chips and Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt chunky guacamole, which is made with Greek...

Last time we went to the grocery store, Whole Foods had some fantastic looking tuna steaks. All of our meals for the week were already planned out, so I made a mental note that we'd have to do tuna steaks of some sort next time. I thought a sushi-inspired, seared tuna encrusted with sesame seeds sounded like the perfect dinner to enjoy on our...

Watching Worst Cooks this season, we saw one of the contestants make ravioli with egg yolks in the middle, so that when you cut into your pasta, you get a nice runny egg oozing out over everything. Looked like our perfect pasta dish! And despite it looking difficult to make (egg yolks can break way too easily), we were convinced that if a...

A couple of weekends ago, we hosted a gnocchi party with our Rice friends. A failed attempt at making smoothly textured gnocchi at a previous Italian-themed dinner party necessitated a redo. We now own a ricer, which makes the process of smashing the potatoes much easier and makes the final product more uniform. We wanted a simple sauce, so...

Those stupid Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos commercials have me really craving Doritos. As much as we try to stay away from overly processed food, sometimes the junk food you can buy at the grocery store really hits the spot. It's not gourmet or anything, but can be incredibly satisfying. I have this same problem with ballpark nacho cheese,...

We just made homemade BBQ sauce the other day, but the root beer based BBQ sauce that coats these chicken sandwiches is distinctly different than what we made previously (and just as tasty). There is a mostly sweet but slightly smoky undertone to the sauce. I really enjoyed the addition of the root beer flavor to this sauce. It also doesn't hurt...

If it wasn't for croque madames, pork chops, pork belly, and bacon I could be Kosher. But above all of those, the most irreplaceable unclean feast has to be ribs. For Bubbe, my Jewish grandmother, baby back ribs are one of those "oh I didn't realize that was pig -- well since I've already had it once..." And who could blame her? Digging into...

Delicious way to use up leftover Indian take out? Indian burgers using the delicious sauces from your favorite Indian restaurant. For us, that's India Gate's tikka masala and raita. We doused our garam masala-coated lamb burgers in both of these sauces, and piled it on top of grilled Macrina buns with some sliced white onion. It was a...

We had beautiful weather for Easter, and this past week we once again got a streak of warmth and sunshine. Naturally, we turned up the heat on the grill, and started planning some delicious and easy burgers to enjoy alongside the first pitcher of the season margaritas. Flipping through a cookbook, we saw a recipe for a smoky buffalo burger,...

I saw the addition of freshly chopped mint to a creamy pasta with smoked salmon on a menu while looking online at a restaurant we were heading to soon. It definitely piqued my interest, and I planned on ordering it, but sadly when we showed up to the restaurant, the menu had rotated and the online menu hadn't been updated. I thought it might be...
