Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken
We've been on an Indian kick lately. Here we're making Butter Chicken. We also will post about our Samosas soon. And a Curried Chicken Salad is also in the pipeline. Today's dish is a wonderful Indian staple with beautiful spices, delectable chicken, and a wonderful sauce to spoon up your rice or naan with. I followed a recipe for Butter Chicken...

Cream of Mushroom Soup

Cream of Mushroom Soup
I've got a serious mushroom problem. See, the wife is obsessed with them. And me, I'm kind of off and on with mushrooms. I like my chanterelles and prosciutto on pizza, but I detest those typical raw mushrooms in salads. I'm starting to think that it's not that I dislike mushrooms, but that I dislike cheap and crappy mushrooms. Regardless of my...

Saag Paneer

Saag Paneer
We have absolutely fallen in love with Indian food after living in Seattle. Dustin even took me to an Indian cooking class for a birthday present in December. Now we've decided to experiment with Indian cooking at home. We stocked up on all of the spices, and boy, do they make the apartment smell wonderful. I think I could sprinkle garam masala...

Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Burgers with Artichoke Hearts and Tomato

Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Burgers with Artichoke Hearts and Tomato
Lately we've been running out fresh ideas for one of our favorite foods, burgers. We are trying really hard not to repeat menu items, but we have been finding it somewhat difficult. However, this burger was randomly born from Dustin's imagination recently. Once he mentioned adding artichokes, I was on board with this meal. The flavor combination...

Curry Goat

Curry Goat
"Let's make the curry goat." We keep saying that to each other. It's been well over 6 months since our romantic getaway to Jamaica. And we keep saying that we should make the curry goat. A couple times over the span of our trip, from tour guides, and hotel attendants, we heard that we have to try the local delicacy. And yet somehow the five or...

Italian Enchiladas

Italian Enchiladas
Calling these Italian enchiladas would probably be blasphemous to an Italian, but I didn't have a better name for replacing enchilada sauce with tomato sauce. These were so good and simple, I can't believe it's something we've never thought of doing before. I took leftover tortillas spread a little tomato sauce on them before stuffing them...

Broccoli, Cheese & Quinoa Casserole

Broccoli, Cheese & Quinoa Casserole
One of my favorite foods when I was young was cheesy broccoli and rice casserole. For some reason when I got a little older, I decided I didn't like it. Maybe because the word broccoli was included. But when I gave it a try again after dropping my picky eating habits, it quickly became one of my go-to comfort foods when I'd see it at a...

Mussels South of Two Borders

Mussels South of Two Borders
Sorry if you accidentally read this yesterday morning. Scheduling error :) I without a doubt have married the sweetest boy in the world. This meal had to be made on a certain day, the day I bought the mussels, to ensure their freshness and quality, but by the time dinner came rolling around I really did not feel like cooking at all. I had gone...

Chicken Fajitas— Pappasito's Style

Chicken Fajitas— Pappasito's Style
We've made beef fajitas in the past, but we've yet to try recreate one of our often-weekly occurrences back home, Pappasito's chicken fajitas. Until now. Yes, this entire spread of food was just for the two of us, but when you do fajitas you have to go all out. We had chips and guacamole, salsa, refried beans, tortillas, garlic butter, Jack...

Goat Cheese & Hazelnut Pesto Pasta with Spicy Chili Oil

Goat Cheese & Hazelnut Pesto Pasta with Spicy Chili Oil
Hazelnuts make me think of winter, so when we were making homemade pasta during the winer months, I think this goat cheese and hazelnut pesto pasta is the perfect sauce/topping for a cold night. To give the dish some spice, we made our own chili-infused olive oil to add to the top by cooking a few sliced serrano peppers and sliced jalapeños in...
