Watermelon Basil Margarita Popsicles

August 26, 2020
Watermelon Basil Margaritas

Our boozy popsicles were a lot of fun to make. These watermelon basil margarita popsicles are based on one of our favorite margaritas. To be honest, this one is my favorite. For more boozy popsicles, check out this post! Heads up! You’ll want to make these the day before. The popsicles should sit in the fridge for about 12 hours to set. In need of a popsicle maker? Here’s the…

Bulgur Salad

July 15, 2020
bulgur salad

Last summer, we had an indoor BBQ for the Fourth of July where we made this delicious bulgur salad. We had never made bulgur wheat, and to be honest, I was a little nervous. However, Martha Stewart for the win! The bulgur wheat seemed odd, the thought of cherries, lemon juice, and walnuts made me think twice about making it. But then why would we make this? TO TRY SOMETHING NEW!…

Cobb Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

July 8, 2020
Cobb Salad

I love everything about this cobb salad: the dressing, the flavors, and the hint of spice. I love how it makes me feel like a Kardashian with a never-ending bowl of salad. While there’s a bit more prep than your typical salad, it’s so worth it. Since we’re both working from home, we build in lunch and dinner prep at the beginning of the week to make our days run…

Liam’s Second Birthday: Two the Moon

May 28, 2020
Two the Moon

Life under quarantine doesn’t have to suck. We stay home to save lives. As parents, we’ve found one of the hardest things to do is to make life seem normal for a two-year-old. He doesn’t know why we can’t go to the playground, why we get frustrated at him for not wanting to wear his mask outside, why we use the rain cover on the stroller on sunny days, why…

Moon Cake: Two the Moon

May 27, 2020
Moon Cake

A themed birthday party has to have a themed cake. Although quarantine shifted our plans, I still wanted to tackle this cake. Our son’s second birthday was themed Two the Moon, so what better cake than to have a moon cake! I never met a boxed cake I didn’t like. In the off chance I have, it was 100% the baker’s fault :). When it comes to planning a party, the…

Tequila Lime Shrimp with Margarita Pipettes

Make the star appetizer of your gathering, these Tequila Lime Shrimp with Margarita Pipettes! On a crisp and overcast October day, we gathered at a mansion in Connecticut for our last wedding in 2019. For the record, that feels like an eternity ago. It was a quintessential New England fall day. Up until this point, we had attended four other weddings and this was our wedding season finale. Cocktail hour…

Dole Whip: Disney’s Not-So-Secret Secret Recipe

May 4, 2020
Dole Whip

May the Fourth be with you! To celebrate Star Wars Day, we made Disney’s Dole Whip! It was the perfect weekend to try this recipe out. After weekends of damp and cold weather, this weekend was much needed (which challenged social distancing). We had a feeling it would be difficult to take a walk around the neighborhood with a toddler who refuses to wear a mask. So we took early…

Hey you, we see you. Thanks for finding us. Right now, we are (by “we” I mean “the world”) going through something really awful. We’re all feeling something: stressed, upset, anxious, isolated, and a million other emotions all at once. You’re not alone. No, really, we want you to know that. While we may not be able to enjoy the physical presence of our friends, family, and neighbors right now,…

Breakfast Pizza for Brunch

January 1, 2020
Breakfast Pizza

When ‘breakfast for dinner’ gets boring try making a savory breakfast pizza for brunch. You can make this with homemade, bagged, or the stuff in the can. We prefer the bagged pizza dough for a more authentic experience, however, we made this pizza (three times) with Pillsbury pizza dough in the can. It was the easiest option since we were busy making other sides. If you’re coming from an old…

Holiday Chex Mix with Truffle Seasoned Salt

December 25, 2019

I always looked forward to Christmas day with my extended family because it meant a box of homemade Chex mix from my aunt Linda was waiting for us. We celebrate Christmas with my mom’s side of the family on Christmas Eve and my dad’s side on Christmas Day. My aunt Jean usually hosts Christmas Day, so all of the non-locals ship their packages to her house. My aunt Linda, who…
