Mini Candy Apple Fail

October 12, 2015

Oh Pinterest, you pain me sometimes. While we don’t have many cooking fails, when we do, they are complete utter failures. It took us a few tries, but we finally got these chocolate chip cookies to be thick and chewy. When putting together our fall food preview party, we wanted to try to make mini candy apples. We saw a lot of failures, but also other food blogs who seemingly made it work. While…

Apple Cider Donuts

October 7, 2015

Fall has arrived! Time to eat everything with pumpkin and apple spice. Brian is working hard with MBA classes so we decided to make most of our fall blogging over the course of one weekend. To get rid of all the food we made, we enlisted some of our closest friends to come over and eat our Apple Cider Donuts. I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of food…

Pumpkin Coffee Cake Donuts

October 5, 2015

What’s better than a warm, fresh donut with your coffee? That donut being pumpkin flavored. But what’s better than that? Pumpkin coffee cake donuts! Call us #basic, but we love pumpkin. I look forward to fall every year just for Dunkin Donuts’ pumpkin glazed donuts. When thinking about what to make this season, we stumbled upon Delightful E Made’s pumpkin coffee cake donuts. Don’t they look delicious!? Whip them up yourself,…

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…

Fall Scented Medley

September 23, 2015

Fall is in the air! The best way to embrace fall now, besides sipping on that grande pumpkin spice latte in 80 degree heat, is to cook this fall scented medley up tonight. It’s guaranteed to sweep you off your feet and into a big, crunchy pile of leaves. Over the weekend, we had some friends over for a Flavors of Fall party. We cooked up a bunch of fall-inspired food…

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,…

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…

Mini Happy Hour Appetizers

August 11, 2015

Believe it or not we’ve had a few long weeks this summer. On one of those long week Fridays, we decided to have a spur-of-the-moment mini happy hour. We headed out to the grocery store, wine shop, and ran back home to start cooking. Our theme at Christmas last year, was mini appetizer. It was a hit. Having an “As Seen on TV” taco bowl, we were enlightened to try making…

Immunity Smoothie

August 10, 2015

When I’m on the subway or walking to work, I cringe when I see people cough without covering their mouth. It’s gross. And if they’re sick, then I’m being exposed to their germs. Summer colds are the worst. Travel colds? Move over. As this post launches, we’re currently in the air on our way to Cabo. For the last few weeks, we’ve been drinking an immunity boosting smoothie to keep our…

#LoveSummer: Ashley’s Cocktail Brunch

August 5, 2015

Last weekend, we headed under the river and through the Path Tunnel to Ashley’s house for a Potluck Cocktail Brunch. We stuffed our faces with pizza, triscuits, double chocolate muffins, and grapefruit margaritas – Nick had us all turnt by 3pm. We loved everything there and wanted to share it with you for more #LoveSummer inspiration.…

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…
