It’s never too late to post something, right? It’s been really busy in the Marquis-Sow household. Fatima’s been swamped with work, going about 7 days a week straight, coming back at midnight, and I’ve been swamped with my accounting class. Figures, right? The semester where I’m taking accounting, Fatima is in the trenches of busy season. For throwback Thursday, I’m going to discuss our Super Bowl cupcakes. For Super Bowl,…

A few weeks ago, Fatima and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. To celebrate, we were going to go out to a dinner. However, a wonderful snow storm decided to come through NYC – again! The restaurant called the day before and said they were not sure if they would be closing early , but wanted to give me a heads up. I decided to cancel the reservations and make…

Apple Crisp Cheesecake

February 11, 2014

Close your eyes and think of a time when you were outside during the peak of fall. If you can think of a time when you were in the northeast (dare I say New England?) then you’ll be more in tune to what I’m describing. Feel the crisp autumn air around you, listen to the ruffling of the leaves scraping the road as they tumble away, and the smell of…

Shrimp and Egg Fried Quinoa

Shrimp and Egg Fried Quinoa

Like all foodie fads that pop up, we were a little weary of trying quinoa. I don’t know if it’s the look or the name, but we were scared. Then, we went to Stephanie’s house for a pre-party, where she served some delicious quinoa tacos. Fear no more. Our first quinoa experience was great. We substituted quinoa for rice when we made turkey chili. Then we made a simple dish…

It was Hayden’s Birthday yesterday and I can’t believe he’s already nine years old! Today, I made him some delicious (they smelled delicious) homemade dog cookies – I know I’m such a good brother.

Turkey Biscuit Pie

Turkey Biscuit Pie

Wowzers! This was delicious. While flipping through out latest issue of Food Network magazine, we came across a recipe for Turkey Biscuit Pie. While this recipe calls for baking it in a skillet, we used a 9inch pan, and instead of making the biscuits from scratch, we went for Pillsbury Homestyle Southern Grands. Yes we took the easy road, but it was so work it. One day we’ll make another…
