Salmon Quinoa Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

May 29, 2022

The literal secret sauce in this salmon quinoa salad recipe is the carrot-ginger-miso dressing. It was a surprising and bright addition to the dish overall. This meal makes a perfect dinner in the summer. When we’re meal planning for the week, we like to balance with meat, fish and other vegetarian options. We started doing that a few years ago when we realized our entire week was filled with chicken…

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta: Cooking Through Full Plate

May 27, 2022

This is one of Liam’s favorite meals to eat and help us make in the kitchen. He loves a bowl of roasted red pepper pasta and we love it, too! Why do we love it so much? It’s easy to make, delicious, and when you’re bored of tomato-based sauce, this spices things up. To be honest, I was hesitant to make this. I love red peppers, however, the idea of…

Chipotle Chicken Panini (Panera Copycat)

April 8, 2022

I wish we lived closer to a Panera so we could have it more often. A fontega chicken or the chipotle chicken would be my panini of choice. To spice up our lunch lives, I thought about making this Panera copycat of their chipotle chicken panini! When we were in Manhattan, a Panera was really close. We’d end up grabbing some on the way home from work or after long…

Pineapple Chicken and Turmeric Cauliflower: Cooking Through Full Plate

April 1, 2022

Our third post for Full Plate! We were so excited to talk about one of the best fried chicken sandwiches, we forgot to introduce this new series to you! You know how much we love Chrissy’ Teigen’s cookbook franchise, Cravings? Now we have a new cookbook from Ayesha Curry we get to cook through. We’ve already made a handful of things from the book and a lot more we want…

BBQ Chicken and Rice Bowls: Cooking Through Cravings

March 28, 2022

I wanted to love these BBQ chicken and rice bowls. I liked them, but I didn’t love them. Something feels like it’s missing, but I’m not exactly sure what it is. Brian loved them, so maybe it’s just me? Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.

Garlic Shrimp and Coconut Rice: Cooking Through Full Plate

March 25, 2022

If you didn’t know, we love shrimp. We love shrimp in salad, in tacos, and with tequila. When Brian and I were perusing through Ayesha Curry’s Full Plate and saw the lemony garlic shrimp, we were sold. We’re actually highlighting two different recipes from her book: Garlic Shrimp and Coconut Rice. A perfect pair!

Dragon Sushi Bowls

March 18, 2022

Lunch is boring. If I can avoid it, I will. Usually, I load up on coffee for breakfast, then a second cup, and then lunch ends up being something for breakfast. Like an egg and cheese sandwich or oatmeal. The one nuisance about working from home now is having to figure out lunch for two of us. I’d be good with the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich, apple, and…

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

March 9, 2022

A previous version of this post for Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes was published in August 2012. We took new photos and added the directions in the recipe format. Next time you make pancakes (boxed or from scratch) try adding in some oatmeal (and chocolate chips). Some people’s faces cringe when I tell them I put oatmeal in pancakes or waffles, like my family. One time at the lake house, I added…

Buffalo Chicken Pockets

March 4, 2022

A previous version of this post for buffalo chicken pockets and buffalo chicken rolls was published in January 2013. We took new photos, updated some of the content in the post, and combined the rolls and pockets. Additionally, we removed our buffalo chicken pizza post. Instead, check this recipe out for fried buffalo chicken pizza! I’ve been wanting to redo photos for these buffalo chicken pockets for some time. It…

Grilled Shrimp Pasta Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

February 16, 2022

Another year and another cookbook from Chrissy Teigen. This latest cookbook, All Together, has a bunch of new and delicious recipes. This grilled shrimp pasta salad looked too good to pass up and was one of the first dishes we tried. Whenever we get a new cookbook, the first thing I do is flip through and flag all the recipes with those sticky flags. After trying a few recipes or having…

Red Velvet Waffles

February 14, 2022

A previous version of this post for red velvet waffles was published in November 2012. We overhauled the post with new photos, formatting, and text. If you don’t eat something red velvet on Valentine’s Day, is it even Valentine’s Day? We love our red velvet desserts (truffles, whoopie pies, icebox cake), and the perfect thing to wake up to on February 14th, besides cinnamon rolls, is red velvet waffles. This…

Perfectly Pink Pasta: Cooking Through Cravings

February 9, 2022

If there’s one recipe in Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook that would win “most made”, it’s this pink pasta sauce. We’ve only had the cookbook since October and I’ve already made this at least five times, including last week! In describing her kids’ eating habits, I fell on the floor at Chrissy’s description of Luna being “against things touching things or things in things” because Liam is the same way. He…

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

February 1, 2022

A previous version of this post was published in February 2013, in which we attempted to make two different red velvet whoopie pies. One was not good and the other was delicious. We wanted to share our experience making both, bad and good. Since the photos (circa 2013) were equally atrocious, we removed our old posts, updated the photos on recipe we liked the most, and consolidated it all right…

Fajita Shrimp Tacos

January 18, 2022

Every once in a while, Pinterest spits out a recipe I actually want to try. I can’t stand the number of easy gooey-just-like-crack-poke-cakes that are sent to me via the algorithm. Well, maybe I should stop clicking on them to understand what makes them a crake-poke-chicken whatever. Recently, we were in the mood for tacos and these fajita shrimp tacos spoke to me. I am always down for Taco Tuesday…

Cozy Hot Chocolate Bombs

December 13, 2021

With Fatima’s due date around the corner, we’re celebrating Christmas closer to home. One of the things I loved about last year’s Christmas, was the hot chocolate bombs I brought up to my parents’ house. This year I decided to try to make them from scratch so I could gift them to everyone in our family. Our first cup of hot chocolate this season was the Friday right after Thanksgiving.…

Sweet Potato Pie

November 25, 2021

Reintroducing Fatima’s sweet potato pie. This post was first published December 11, 2012. Reposted with updated photos. Sweet potato pie is like music to my ears. Brian never had sweet potato pie so I needed to make him one. He’s had sweet potato fries, mashed sweet potatoes, but never a pie! Like much of my family dinner menu, this pie is a family tradition in my house. In the time…
