Rice and Beans with Lemon Roast Chicken

April 5, 2019

Towards the end of my pregnancy, I was on bed rest and that meant I watched a lot of daytime television. Every day around my lunch break I would watch The Chew. Still really upset that was canceled; RIP The Chew. They always had fun guests and delicious recipes. One day they had Ina Garten on and she made her skillet lemon chicken and it looked delicious. I remember texting…

Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

October 17, 2018

The more proper name for this salad should be ‘Harvest Salad’. This will make a great starter or side salad for Thanksgiving or compliment any fall meal. While pretty basic, this sweet potato and pomegranate salad is delicious. Everything works together really well and the garlicky honey-dijon dressing pulled it together. The original salad was filled with butternut squash, which would be just as delicious, but we substituted it out…

Berry Smoothie

August 1, 2018

Our most used appliance in the kitchen is our Nutribullet. Every day, I make sure to blend a smoothie for Brian and me to pair with our lunch. After trying a few green, fruit, and vegetable smoothies, we found this berry smoothie is our favorite. It pairs our favorite elements of the other smoothies into this one, delicious drink. With every smoothie, not only did we find out what fruits…

Orange C-Booster Cold Buster Smoothie

November 29, 2017

November and December are our busiest months of the year and we’re always on the move. Isn’t everyone? Once we get on the other side of the holiday season, I feel like we always crash. Usually, I’m the first to get sick, followed by Fatima. But when I do catch a cold, my go-to remedy is Jamba Juice’s Orange C-Booster. After a few days, my cold diminishes. To make it…

Homestyle Mac and Cheese with Parmesan Garlic Bread Crumbs

November 12, 2017

This post is sponsored by FreshDirect. We are participating in FreshDirect’s Fourth Annual #FDFriendsgiving! In exchange for this blog post and photos of our Homestyle Mac and Cheese for Instagram, we were given a FreshDirect $100 gift card. It’s hard to think about my childhood without my mom’s baked mac and cheese. Usually made on nights the babysitters (aka one of my cousins) would come over. She would prepare a pan and stick it in…

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…

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,…

Homemade Vegetable Dumplings

December 13, 2016

The first time Brian and I made dumplings was with my friend, Christine. She came over to our apartment and made these delicious shrimp and ground meat dumplings for us. We reimagined this recipe and made vegetable dumplings! When Brian and I are out to eat, I will always try to order vegetable dumplings. One day, I may turn into a dumpling. Surprisingly, I’ve had a hard time finding a great place for dumplings in New…

Pumpkin Bisque

November 21, 2016

If you could whip up fall over the stove, it would be called Pumpkin Bisque. This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the fall. I recently made this for our Harry Potter Halloween Party last month and I plan to make it again for Thanksgiving. What’s great about this recipe is you can substitute the pumpkin purée for butternut squash. I realize that butternut squash may be the…

Sweet and Savory Sweet Potato Pastries

October 5, 2016

Fall is our favorite season. Growing up in New England, I loved experiencing the changes in the leaves, the crunch they make when you step on them, and the cool, crisp air. My family’s annual Halloween Party this year is Harry Potter-themed. It has been so much fun to plan. I think it will be our most Pinteresting Halloween Party, yet! We wanted to experiment with some of the internet’s greatest…

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

August 31, 2016

We’ve tried to make sweet potato fries for what seems like forever. Whether we fried or baked sweet potato fries, we couldn’t find the right seasoning, temperature, or recipe that worked in our flavor! They were either undercooked, burnt, or too salty. But how are there so many recipes out there and we can’t make it work? Maybe it’s…us? It’s been such an adventure, like my hush puppies. Fatima and I…

Southern Fried Fish Tacos

July 20, 2016

We’ve been on a taco spree lately! We’re not sure if we’re just craving Mexican dishes or if we’re making all of these tacos to pair with the different margaritas we’ve mixed up lately. Anywho, we loved these Southern fried fish tacos and can’t wait to make them again. Our neighborhood seafood market had a great selection of Atlantic Cod filets. On its own, cod is a bland fish. Well, pretty much all…

Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash with Fresh Avocado

March 29, 2016

Our friend Ashley made a delicious sweet potato hash for our “First Day of Fall” party a few months ago. It was delicious. When thinking about what we were going to make for Brunch this past Easter weekend, we had a leftover sweet potato from our sweet potato mash and tilapia dinner the other night. Using Ashley’s dish as a guide, we put our twist on this and made vegetarian sweet potato hash. Hash can…

Sweet Potato Mash

March 15, 2016

There’s nothing like having sweet potato mash in the fall. Almost like having sweet potato pie with your turkey. But why wait until then? Last week, we made baked tilapia with sides of broccoli and sweet potato mash. It was delicious. One large sweet potato will yield 3-4 servings. If you love sweet potatoes and anticipate a heavy handed spoonful, use 2 sweet potatoes. The warm undertones of the cinnamon,…
