Not to be confused with spaghetti squash, this is legit homemade spaghetti with a thick and creamy butternut squash sauce coating each strand. We were browsing a specialty food mart when I saw a butternut squash pasta sauce sitting on the shelf. I was tempted to buy it, but why buy something like that (at a ridiculously high premium, I might...

Dustin has previously shown you what he eats as a bachelor when I'm out of town. I figured it was my turn to show you what I've been eating while he was out of town (which will be happening significantly more with his new job). Contrary to what it might seem on here, I do actually eat real meals when he is gone (even if what I really want to eat...

What I learned living as a bachelorette for 10 days. (1) The house stays a lot cleaner when only one person is living in it, and the trash and dishes are much more manageable. Surprise, surprise. (2) More importantly, if left to my own devices, I would probably live solely off desserts and breakfast food. I ate way too much ice cream, granola...

I had a picture in my head of what this dinner would look like— cute little lasagna pinwheels covered in marinara and cheese. Well the strips of lasagna were not large enough that I could stack them like I wanted without them falling apart. My cute roll ups ended up more like enchiladas, but whatever. They were tasty, and I've learned some...

We really like truffle oil. Like a lot. Unfortunately, truffle oil is crazy expensive. We spent $14 on a tiny bottle according to the price sticker remaining on the bottle. We still had half a bottle to use up before the move, so on a whim I added it to the crab macaroni and cheese I was making. We were already going fancy using Dungeness crab,...

Last year I saw a recipe on the 4th of July for red, white, bleu macaroni and cheese. Not having the ingredients to make such a dish on a whim and thinking it wasn't nearly as exciting to make after the holiday, I made a mental note to make my own version of this "patriotic" dish when the the 4th rolled around next time. Well here we are, July...

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...

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...

Fresh, first-of-the-season halibut has been hitting Seattle. Last weekend, our Whole Foods had a generous one day sale on halibut, so we bought several meals worth of fish and plan on making it a halibut week in this house and cook it several different ways. Might as well eat as much fresh fish as we can while we live here, right? It had also...

We invited Greg over for dinner, and he's sort of become used to us making pretty awesome dinners (and desserts). It was late in the afternoon, we hadn't gone grocery shopping, and I started to worry what we could cook up to impress. I flipped through our OneNote with all our "meals to make" but nothing was finding my fancy or met the time...
