Our Favorite Food Photography Redos

January 2, 2019

When we started the blog, we were inspired to post all of our favorite recipes. However, we really weren’t paying too much attention to the quality of the photos. But over the last seven years, we stepped up our photography and food styling. My first thought when I looked back at some of these photos was, “Really, Brian?” With a background in film and television production, I was kicking myself,…

Onion Rings: Cooking Through Cravings

August 22, 2018

I’ve never been able to make rings, until now. Every attempt leads to failure. While looking for something to make for our cook-in dinner, I consulted our Cravings cookbook and I landed on these onion rings.

No Frills Home Fries

July 18, 2018

The last meal Fatima ate as a pregnant woman was a plate of eggs, home fries, and a cinnamon roll. It was Mother’s Day and I wanted to make her a Mother-to-be’s Day breakfast. She had a craving for home fries, so I whipped some up. I can’t eat at a diner without a side of home fries. Neither can Fatima. She loves anything you can make with potatoes: french fries,…

The Ultimate Guide to Maui with Google Maps

August 30, 2017

Here’s our Ultimate Guide to Maui complete with adventures, food, and must-see spots! We curated a Google Map with everything below so you can explore the island with our help. Maui was a vacation we’ll never forget. The island is so beautiful, the people are so welcoming, and we were the most relaxed we’ve been in a while. I grouped places and activities below by location (except for snorkeling). This…

Where to Eat on Maui with Google Maps

August 23, 2017

Going to Hawaii? Wait! Check out our favorite places to eat on Maui! We had an amazing vacation. So much so, we had to recreate Julia’s Banana Bread and are still trying to make some of the food we had there. We explored the island with my cousin and her husband. They brought us to some of the best local eateries and gave us some of the best recommendations. From breakfast…

John’s Marinated Steak: Cooking Through Cravings

July 12, 2017

It’s summer. You know what that means? Beach, frozen margaritas (well, that’s all year round) and dining el fresco. However, we are unable to enjoy cooking food on the grill. Unless you have a terrace, city living is not the ideal place to live if you love to grill. Brian is a suburban boy and grew up with a large backyard and grill. So he’s missing out on grilling burgers…

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…

Turkey Avocado Sandwich

June 1, 2015

Having a picnic doesn’t need to be fancy, but switching up your bread or what you put on your sandwich can make it seem fancy. We’ve been on an avocado kick lately – maybe due to the impending shortage? We’ve been using it in all of our recent salads, having taco nights more frequently, and used it on sandwiches. Avocado, while high in calories, is a power food. It’s incredibly…

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…

Chicken Guacamole Sandwich

August 18, 2014

Adding avocado to pretty much anything makes it better. Salad, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers. But I’m a sucker for guacamole. A bowl of some really good, creamy guacamole and some chips could last me all day. So we made a chicken guacamole sandwich and it was delicious. We took our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich that we made last week, and added guacamole. It was so hot out, we wanted something cold,…

What better way to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day than with some great food? This past weekend we ventured into Brooklyn to celebrate our friend’s birthday (aka Ummm Now What) and had some really delicious food (most of which is featured below). Everything from quinoa, to goat cheese, to balls of meat (no not meatballs, balls of meat), to potato salad, burgers, hot dogs, and mexican corn. It was all so good!…

DIY Mason Jar Tumbler

June 10, 2013

Who doesn’t want a mason jar tumbler? When I was typing up this post I totally spelled tumbler, “tumblr.” What has this world come to?? There are so many uses for a mason jar; night light, salad jar, spice jar, utensil holder, and now a tumbler to-go! You can buy these online from other retailers or you can make a mason jar tumbler for yourself. They are a little tricky…

Key West Vacation Food Edition Pt. 1

At the beginning of the month, we went on a much needed vacation to Key West. It was awesome! As we left LaGuardia, we flew right over Harlem/Bronx where I snapped this pic. If you squint, you can see our neighborhood! And before we knew it, we had left NYC and were in paradise… We went snorkeling, kayaking, biking, swimming, visited sandbars, hung out at the beach, and had lots…
