Fried Fish Tacos: Cooking Through Cravings

September 5, 2018

The past few months have been filled with breastfeeding, diaper changes, lullabies and discovering new recipes. Parental leave has been an amazing time as I bond with Liam and discover a whole new side of myself as a mother. But I could not lose sight of what I’ve always loved doing, which is cooking. Cooking is like therapy for me and it was just what I needed to do between…

Onion Rings: Cooking Through Cravings

August 22, 2018

I’ve never been able to make rings, until now. Every attempt leads to failure. While looking for something to make for our cook-in dinner, I consulted our Cravings cookbook and I landed on these onion rings.

Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup: Cooking Through Cravings

October 11, 2017

It’s time to take out those crockpots and French ovens; it’s soup and stew season! We love a good slow cooker recipe. Being able to “set it and forget it” is what we love. But we haven’t made a lot of soups. In our latest adventure through Cravings, we made this Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup…three times! We made this three times because we L-O-V-E-D it! It was everything Chrissy said it…

John’s Marinated Steak: Cooking Through Cravings

July 12, 2017

It’s summer. You know what that means? Beach, frozen margaritas (well, that’s all year round) and dining el fresco. However, we are unable to enjoy cooking food on the grill. Unless you have a terrace, city living is not the ideal place to live if you love to grill. Brian is a suburban boy and grew up with a large backyard and grill. So he’s missing out on grilling burgers…

Cooking Through Cravings

February 1, 2017

We can always count on our Food Network magazine subscription, the semi-random cookbooks we’ve inherited, Pinterest and our family for great recipes. However, it’s rare that we’ll go back to the magazine/book and continue to cook from it because most of the time, there’s only a handful of recipes we love. Looking at our cookbooks now, there were only one or two recipes that made us buy the book. Now, they just…

John Legend’s Fried Chicken Wings: Cooking Through Cravings

January 25, 2017

Did anyone catch the game the other day? Good because you can fill me on what happened. If you haven’t guessed it, I am not a fan of football. But, I love “game day” food. I love a great dip, mozzarella stick and fried chicken wings. Although I’m not part of the 64% of Americans who watch football, I wanted to find a great appetizer to serve at my Super Bowl halftime…

The next stop in our journey through Cravings, is John Legend’s chili recipe. His recipe is used with the Frito Pie Bar.

December 7, 2016

I cannot believe it’s already December! Where did this year go? Now that the holidays are here, we all need to find some amazing recipes for our guests. I highly recommend these delicious steak bites! A little something you may not know about me, is the first Christmas I ever celebrated was with Brian. I grew up in a Muslim household. Although I haven’t been practicing since I was nine, there were still a…

Chrissy’s Mac and Cheese Recipe: Cooking Through Cravings

November 16, 2016

After that election, I think most of us (and yes, most, since Hillary won the popular vote) are in the need of a drink and some comfort food. Chrissy Teigen’s mac and cheese recipe was the first recipe we tried. However, I was waiting for the perfect time to blog about it. I know when I’m having a stressful week, my favorite dinner is a form of therapy. This mac and cheese recipe…
