Dustin and I love making unique pizzas and we love bagels and smoked salmon for breakfast, so when I stumbled across this recipe for Smoked Salmon pizza while searching for healthy fish recipes, I was hooked on the combination. We made our homemade pizza dough and added some chopped red onion before we placed the dough in the oven. The other...

I have five words words for you. The perfect Super Bowl food. This recipe is also from How Sweet It Is. I told you I really like this blog. There are a ton of inspiring recipes including these cheesy Mozzarella stuffed meatball sliders. We served these for football watching on Sunday, and they couldn't have gone over better. We've started...

Given our love for guacamole, I think it's about time we added it, or something like it, to pasta. This recipe we created is reminiscent of guacamole (thanks to some fresh lime juice) dumped on a bunch of pasta except that it is a little lighter and a lot smoother. But it still has all of the refreshing avocado flavor whacking you in the head...

Even though winter is the best time for citrus fruit, citrus fruits are just so refreshing that they make me think of summer and sitting on a beach someplace tropical. I guess citrus fruits this time of year allow me to sit holed up in my warm apartment pretending I'm someplace warm. Right now I think I'll picture myself in the crystal clear...

I really like the whole Meatless Monday concept. Replace one meat-filled meal a week with a vegetarian option to reduce meat consumption (and saturated fat) in order to focus more on vegetables and whole grains. We don't necessarily do it every week, but we've definitely been eating more vegetarian meals as we become more adventurous in our...

How Sweet It Is has become one of my favorite food blogs. Every time I go there, I see something delicious and drool-worthy I want to stuff my face with. This past week (while we were iced and snowed in, cooking like crazy) Dustin and I had a couple of dishes from this awesome blog on our menu. Today we'd like to talk about the caramelized...

I'm sitting here sipping my Maker's Mark bourbon reminiscing about our Bourbon Glazed Salmon from last night. Any good fish dish is always going to depend on the quality of the filet. And living up here in the Pacific Northwest, we're blessed with kickass seafood. Erin and I don't typically marinate our meats. The reason? It honestly comes down...

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...

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...
