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,…

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…

Baked Fries

July 2, 2015

Do you want fries with that? I don’t know why this is ever a question, but of course! When I go out to eat and have a burger I must have fries with it. I think my love of fries is largely due to my love of ketchup but that’s a whole other blog post. I do not discriminate on the types of fries I love. My passion for fries…

Garden Thyme: Green Machines

May 19, 2015

Lettuce is one of the few vegetables that is the easiest to grow, and staple green machines hardcore smoothies. This year, I’ve done kale, bib lettuce and red romaine. All of these lettuces are tolerant to colder weather, shade and can last well through the fall. You’d be surprised how well they’re easy to grow in containers. Last year, I put romaine in my garden and it brought all the animals…

Mexican Breakfast Muffin

February 2, 2015

Good morning! After coming home from the gym the other morning, Fatima and I wanted something to eat that would not kill the workout we just came back from, and something other than oatmeal or a veggie-fruit shake. We sifted through our site and landed on our Egg Stuffed Avocado and our Hummus and Guacamole Toast. So we tried to combine the two and came up with this Mexican Breakfast…

Garlic Lime Brussel Sprouts

November 24, 2014

Fatima made these garlic lime brussel sprouts as a side for our honey glazed salmon dish. They were awesome! Like I mentioned in the salmon post, I fell in love with brussel sprouts at last year’s Sidesmas (hosted annually by our friend Kate – check out Ummm Now What). These brussel sprouts complemented our salmon dish really well. Not to mention, these were really easy to make. Basically, sauté them until…

Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Hummus

April 16, 2013

One of my newly discovered snacks is hummus. I love roasted red pepper and garlic hummus, so I thought I would try to make my own. Off the bat – tahini (a popular middle eastern ingredient in hummus) is an expensive ingredient. Maybe $8 for 1lb of tahini is a “New York City” price for one of the “cheaper” grocers in our area, so let me know what else you…

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

January 21, 2013

For the long weekend, my parents, my spoiled 8 eight year old puppy, and myself, ventured up to our lake house in New Hampshire. Brr, it was cold, even Siri knew it! I saw this recipe for the roasted tomato soup and grilled cheese croutons on Pinterest, and had it sitting in my back pocket for a few months. Saturday night, we wanted to make a healthy, hearty, warm-your-heart kind of…
