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,…

Homemade Mashed Potato Bowl

February 15, 2016

Growing up, we rarely went out to fast food restaurants. My parents made a point to make sure we were eating a homemade meal at the dinner table every night. It wasn’t until college where I really delved into the fast food world. Chipotle and Popeye’s were within walking distance of our campus – very dangerous. Fatima, then opened my eyes up to KFC and their mashed potato bowl. While…

French Vanilla Chewy Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 16, 2015

Oh my gosh. I can’t. I will never be able to eat another thing ever again. I’ve eaten too many of these delicious French vanilla chewy double chocolate chip cookies! These must be on your plate for Christmas; it’ll be the easiest way to get on Santa’s nice list. I made these earlier this week for a family dinner with my brother-in-law. They were a hit. I may have consumed…

Mini Potato Skins

December 15, 2015

These are so good! A great idea for game day, amazing for any party, and delicious as personal appetizers during the week. And who doesn’t love potato skins? We made these for Halloween, and wanted to make them again as a appetizer for a family dinner this week. These can be a little time consuming, since they take 40 minutes to cook, and then they go in and out of the oven to…

Pot Roast

November 18, 2015

The best part about coming home after a long day, is not having to make dinner. But wait, you love cooking! Yes, we do. But sometimes Seamless calls and you open the door. Another great way to semi-get-out-of-cooking is to make a dish in a crock pot. Growing up, I loved when my mom made a pot roast, especially on a crisp, fall day. This week we made a bangin’ pot roast.…

Fried Buffalo Chicken Pizza

September 28, 2015

Fatima makes the best fried chicken. Paired with some buffalo sauce, we stepped up our buffalo chicken game and made a delicious fried buffalo chicken pizza. We love our pizzas. 1. Because they’re easy, 2. It’s a meal we can make and personalize together, and 3. They’re delicious. While the dough can be the hardest part of the pizza, there are many options of dough to appease all skill levels…

Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme

August 24, 2015

Oh my gosh, we had to try this. On a brunch at ABV on East 96th a few weeks ago (highly recommend the chicken and biscuit sandwiches), we discovered a new-ish Taco Bell in the neighborhood just across the street; we had to check it out. On our once-in-a-blue-moon trips to Taco Bell, my go-to meal is the Crunchwrap Supreme. It’s glorious. Something about the combination of the moist, taco-seasoned beef,…

Mini Happy Hour Appetizers

August 11, 2015

Believe it or not we’ve had a few long weeks this summer. On one of those long week Fridays, we decided to have a spur-of-the-moment mini happy hour. We headed out to the grocery store, wine shop, and ran back home to start cooking. Our theme at Christmas last year, was mini appetizer. It was a hit. Having an “As Seen on TV” taco bowl, we were enlightened to try making…

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…

Crunchy Fried Chicken

January 23, 2015

Frying things in our apartment came to a screeching halt after the fire of summer 2012. But in the spirit of the Super Bowl I decided to lift the ban on frying and make fried chicken. Nothing is better than eating messy chicken with a beer (or in our case wine) and watching the big game. We also got to make Ashley’s BBQ sauce and it went amazingly with this…

Whether you’re setting up for the Super Bowl or the Puppy Bowl, your friends and family will love these hot, skillet nachos. You can make nachos with anything you love to eat. It could be loaded with cheese and chili, jalapeños and avocados, or onions and olives. For another delicious topping, try out some Turkey Chili.…

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

January 5, 2015

Two weeks ago, we made these buffalo chicken meatballs in the oven. Took them out, and loaded them up on a sub. I think I added too much sauce to my sub because my mouth was on fire. They were amazing. This past weekend, we made these buffalo chicken meatballs again, except this time, we made them in the crock pot. While both were delicious, we prefer to bake these in the oven.…

Fajita Quesadillas

December 29, 2014

If a fajita and a quesadilla had babies, they would have fajita quesadillas and possibly the best Mexican dish I have ever made. Not only was this recipe one of the tastiest dishes but it was super-fast and easy. Whenever Brian goes to a Mexican restaurant, without looking at the menu you know what he is going to order, fajitas. Don’t be the person sitting next to him because you…

Mini Steak and Cheese

December 28, 2014

For our family parties, our food theme was “mini.” Last week Fatima made a delicious steak and cheese sandwich. It was my first steak and cheese – ever. When we were thinking of an appetizer menu for Christmas, we needed to think of something to fit into our “mini” theme. So I thought, “why not little steak and cheeses?” These were a hit and were gobbled up in minutes. What’s…
