Pot Roast

November 18, 2015

The best part about coming home after a long day, is not having to make dinner. But wait, you love cooking! Yes, we do. But sometimes Seamless calls and you open the door. Another great way to semi-get-out-of-cooking is to make a dish in a crock pot. Growing up, I loved when my mom made a pot roast, especially on a crisp, fall day. This week we made a bangin’ pot roast.…

Fried Buffalo Chicken Pizza

September 28, 2015

Fatima makes the best fried chicken. Paired with some buffalo sauce, we stepped up our buffalo chicken game and made a delicious fried buffalo chicken pizza. We love our pizzas. 1. Because they’re easy, 2. It’s a meal we can make and personalize together, and 3. They’re delicious. While the dough can be the hardest part of the pizza, there are many options of dough to appease all skill levels…

Honey Glazed Fried Shrimp

September 14, 2015

As you may know, Brian and I took a trip to Cabo in early August. Once we came back, we needed a vacation from the vacation. On the way back we had a layover was in Houston Texas. What we thought was going to be an easy 2 1/2 hour layover, turned out to be a run to the gate circus. It seems like it’s a lot easier to leave the…

Shrimp Lo Mein

September 7, 2015

Before our trip to Cabo, my mom came to visit and it’s always a good time when Janet Jackson arrives. A typical visit from Janet turns into her and Brian sitting on the couch making fun of me and gossiping about everyone in our families. Oh and she loves to also say Brian is her favorite child – but don’t worry I don’t feel left out :/ So to join…

Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme

August 24, 2015

Oh my gosh, we had to try this. On a brunch at ABV on East 96th a few weeks ago (highly recommend the chicken and biscuit sandwiches), we discovered a new-ish Taco Bell in the neighborhood just across the street; we had to check it out. On our once-in-a-blue-moon trips to Taco Bell, my go-to meal is the Crunchwrap Supreme. It’s glorious. Something about the combination of the moist, taco-seasoned beef,…

One Pan Baked Chicken and Vegetables

August 17, 2015

So it’s Thursday and your tired; what are you going to make for dinner? With the weekend coming up, you know you’re going to be out with friends which means you will be eating out for the next few days. Therefore, you’re trying to avoid seamless – as much as possible. What if I told you I have the perfect recipe and that it all cooks in one pan? Do you like…

Shrimp Fried Rice

August 3, 2015

Who doesn’t love takeout food? Our go-to dishes are always General Tso chicken, fried rice and of course spring rolls. Being the food bloggers we are, we’re always up for trying something new. We have attempted a chicken dish and our take on a vegetarian spring roll but now it was time to give the fried rice a try. What I’ve learned with making Asian dishes, is they usually take a…

Guacamole Egg Rolls

July 9, 2015

My aunt Helen makes THE BEST egg rolls. Seriously. From the Philippines, she brought over a ridiculously tasty recipe. While she won’t give me the recipe (just yet), I’m continuously trying to figure it out every time I take a bite. A few winters ago, we made shrimp rolls for my family when they came to visit during their annual Christmas trip to NYC. Egg and spring rolls are a must side dish…

Grown Up Mac and Cheese

July 6, 2015

One million bowls of mac and cheese later (well maybe not that many), Fatima and I finally found a mac and cheese recipe we love. While it may not contain those familiar, slender noodles with bright yellow cheese, this recipe is packed with smoked Gouda and sharp cheddar. The problem with all of our previous mac and cheese recipes is that they contained mustard, dry mustard and every other incarnation…

Baked Fries

July 2, 2015

Do you want fries with that? I don’t know why this is ever a question, but of course! When I go out to eat and have a burger I must have fries with it. I think my love of fries is largely due to my love of ketchup but that’s a whole other blog post. I do not discriminate on the types of fries I love. My passion for fries…

Juicy Burgers and Special Sauce

June 30, 2015

Sometimes you have the craving for some juicy burgers. The con about living near a Shake Shack, is living near a Shake Shack. When we’re in the mood for a good, juicy burger, Fatima and I will find our way walking to Shake Shack or if we’re up to hating ourselves for the rest of the night, stopping at a Five Guys and pairing their burgers with some Cajun fries. The key…

#LoveSummer: Picnic in the Park (and Movie Calendars)

June 10, 2015

Summer is in the air. The NYC parks and other venues offer free movie screenings all summer long. It could be Sharknado 2 under the Brooklyn Bridge, Apollo 13 on the flight deck of the Intrepid, or Ghost Busters in Bryant Park. So whip up some food, grab some friends, and go have a picnic! What’s better than a free movie in the park? Making a picnic out of it! We pulled our blogger…

Raspberry and Red Wine Steak

June 9, 2015

Summer is in the air and so is the smell of steak and wine…and raspberries. Yes, raspberries! The next time you make steak, incorporate some berries. We had leftover raspberries from our Huckleberry Lemonade and we’re planning to make steak. So we ended up throwing them into the skillet, making raspberry and red wine steak dinner. I’m not a fan of raspberries – they’re too tart for me – but Fatima loves…

Turkey Avocado Sandwich

June 1, 2015

Having a picnic doesn’t need to be fancy, but switching up your bread or what you put on your sandwich can make it seem fancy. We’ve been on an avocado kick lately – maybe due to the impending shortage? We’ve been using it in all of our recent salads, having taco nights more frequently, and used it on sandwiches. Avocado, while high in calories, is a power food. It’s incredibly…
