Let's face it, no one's perfect. We've all messed up in the kitchen. From hot oil, to burnt rice, to too much salt, and adding ingredients we shouldn't be using, we talk about some of our big cooking mistakes. We pepper in a few tips along the way. Join us!…
Here’s our experience making a dish from Chrissy’s mom, Pepper, in our ongoing journey through Cravings. We made this dish with spicy shrimp, the original recipe calls for clams.

Harvey came back early from his vacation in the North Pole to help us make Fatima’s famous sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving. He thought he was being helpful when he decided to setup the KitchenAid, but got stuck in the whisk in the process… Welp, we’ll see how helpful he is when we have to make everything else…have a great Thanksgiving, all!…
I love going home to visit my mother. Although I do feel like I gain 5 pounds every time I visit, especially when eating her sloppy joes. I’m consistently being feed and asked, “Are you hungry?” even after I just ate. I never met someone who loved feeding people more than my mother, and that’s where I get my love of hosting and feeding people. I learned how to cook…
It’s not a family gathering unless Auntie Jean brings her famous Orange Stuff. I had to beg and plea with her in order to get her to share the secret recipe. Usually, we ge this twice a year, more if we’re lucky. Thanksgiving and Christmas – this year, it made an appearance at my Dad’s 50th Birthday. Once the orange stuff is presented at the table, it’s only custom, among…
Growing up, I was one of many children. A stew was my mom’s best friend when it came to making dinner. Let’s face it, what’s easier than throwing things into a pot and letting it do its thing all day? If you are looking to feed an army (or to have leftovers for a few days) making a stew, in this case beef stew, is perfect. I must warn you,…
As we set out on our quest for some more vegetarian-friendly recipes (as requested by Vildana – don’t worry we’re figuring out that delicious dish), we decided to revisit one of our favorites. Pizza! But not just a cheese pizza – well if you’re not *cough* Fatima *cough* – but mushroom and spinach pizza. Fatima dislikes mushrooms, so the spinach and mushroom pizza was all for me. Ingredients: Pizza dough…
Tuesday night, I may have screwed up a really good recipe for these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles, and may might have become very angry with the dessert gods – I needed to cool off and try it again. I redeemed myself last night by hashing out the recipe once more by switching some things up, and yes, reading the directions a bit more carefully. NOTE: my cross outs below are…
I love cooking, well I like baking decadent desserts better, but I love crafting food from scratch. This weekend, I took a recipe I learned from a wine tasting and turned it into one of the best homemade-pizzas I’ve ever made… I made a steak pizza, and a mushroom pizza, on homemade* dough. The Dough (Flatbread Style) Made from milk, yeast, and flour. Beat up, and sat out for…
