Pumpkin Muffins

October 18, 2017
Pumpkin Muffins

By now, you’re more than familiar with my pumpkin obsession. When I was searching for the perfect pumpkin bread pan a few years ago, I found the most fall-tastic pan from Williams-Sonoma. Attached to this pan, was a delicious pumpkin bread recipe. So, I dug up the tag and turned that pumpkin bread recipe into pumpkin muffins. All too often, I find a delicious bread recipe, wanting to make muffins.…

Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup: Cooking Through Cravings

October 11, 2017
Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup

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…

Pumpkin Succulent Centerpieces

October 4, 2017
Pumpkin Succulent Centerpieces

Fall is my favorite season. And my favorite thing about fall? Pumpkins. Not just PSLs, but the actual fruit. Growing up in the ‘burbs, I loved going to Lyman Orchards to pick out pumpkins. By the end of the trip, I’d pick out every pumpkin I could carry. I wanted to carve them all! To further my pumpkin addiction, I made these adorable pumpkin succulent centerpieces. Call me crafty. Fatima…

Yellow Rice and Mediterranean Shrimp

Yellow Rice and Mediterranean Shrimp

It’s almost that time of the year when it starts to get cold out. Not lately! I’m antsy waiting for the fall weather to arrive, but I should know better. Today is our three-year wedding anniversary, and every year at this time, summer makes a comeback. Don’t get me wrong I love the summer and the warm weather, but I miss my hearty stews, soups and warm comfort food. During…

Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo

September 20, 2017

I just celebrated a birthday and as I get older I realize how the food I eat affects how I feel. As much as I love cheeseburgers and fries, I know I cannot have them everyday. I have two sisters who are vegetarians and one who’s trying to limit the meat in her diet. So you can imagine the pressure I get from them when I blog mostly about non-vegetarian…

S’mores Camp Fire Treats

July 20, 2017
S'mores Camp Fire Treats - LiliesandLoafers

We had cereal and marshmallows left over from our Camp Fire Chex Mix and decided to make another treat! I didn’t know what else to do with the leftover marshmallows other than make Rice Krispie Treats. However, we only had Chex and Golden Grahams cereal. So, we pulled together a s’mores version of a Rice Krispie Treat. If you love s’mores and that Chex mix we made, then you’ll love these…

John’s Marinated Steak: Cooking Through Cravings

John's Marinated Steak: Cooking Through Cravings - LiliesandLoafers

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…

Ms. Jackson’s Southern Potato Salad

Ms. Jackson's Potato Salad - LiliesandLoafers

I’ve shared with you before that my love for cooking comes from my mother. My mother cooked almost every night. She would only take a break from cooking if we ordered pizza. Eating out was just something we never did; try booking a reservation for 10 people. All these years of cooking for 10 people and my mom jokes she doesn’t know how to make small amounts of food. Now,…

Camp Fire Chex Mix

June 28, 2017
Camp Fire Chex Mix - Family Camping - Liliesandloafers

What I love most about summer are summer nights and camp fires. Growing up, my family would vacation at White Lake Camp Ground in New Hampshire. And by family, I mean my aunts, uncles, and cousins. So many great memories came from White Lake. Most of those memories happened around camp fires. The recipe for a great fire includes (but not limited to): stories, comfy sweats, laughter, music, charades, and s’mores. I was…

DIY Housewarming Gift Basket

Today, my parents are finally starting their next chapter in New Hampshire. While my mom has been up at the house for the last month, my dad’s last day at work is today. While it’s bittersweet, Fatima and I are so happy for them. When they bought their new house last year, we never got them a housewarming gift. Now that they’re officially New Hampshire residents, it is the perfect time…

Frosé (Frozen Rosé) Is Your Best Friend For the Summer

May 24, 2017
Frosé

Rosé is the wine of the summer. Loved by almost everyone, especially our generation, it’s a crisp, refreshing wine for the season. It’s a perfect companion on your trips to the Hamptons and lake-life weekends. Rosé on the rocks is especially fantastic on those hot summer days. But what happens when it’s too hot?? That’s where frosé comes in. Brangelina, your rosé is good, but it’s out of my price range. I…
