So we attempted handmade rustic pappardelle…
…and it wasn’t a complete failure! Woohoo! Zach and I have yet to delve into buying a pasta machine. Sure we could go out and get the hand-cranked version. It’s cheaper, authentic, and looks pretty cool attached to the counter too. However, we have a great industrial strength stand mixer that has an attachment for […]
Raspberry, Ginger and Cinnamon Jam
Raise your hand if you love jam! Now raise your hand if you love raspberry jam! I certainly do. I love ginger and cinnamon even more which is why I had this brilliant idea to combine them all into one. I really don’t know what I was thinking at the time. I mean I’ve had […]
Rosemary and Pecorino Butter Crackers
Let’s just say I have tried to make crackers before, and I’ve been completely unsuccessful. I actually think I may have burned a batch at one point. I decided to give it another go. I was a bit more successful this time around. This time I decided to incorporate some more butter and cheese and […]
Sea-Salted Peanut Butter Brownie Bars
As I was going through past recipes, I realized that I have yet to make brownies! I know right?! They are obviously one of the most delicious baked goods on the planet. I really don’t know what I was thinking by looking these beauties over. This is the problem we have in our house. Sure […]
Striped Bass with Mango Salsa and White Wine Reduction
Zach and I knew that we wanted fish last night, but that was about all that we knew. We played things a little differently yesterday and decided to just wing it: we would figure out what we were making once we got to the grocery store. The first step was to find the perfect filets. […]
Double Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Biscotti
Anise-free biscotti that is. There are few things on the planet that I dislike, and star anise or anything that tastes like black licorice is one of them. This may be why I dislike fennel so much, unless someone cooks the crap out of it. Then it’s ok. Maybe you can begin to understand why […]
Mexican-Style Pulled Pork Tacos
Sometimes you just crave a taco, and if you’re Zach or I, you crave tacos at least once or twice a week. We’ve tackled the fish taco, which is always a winner. We’ve also outdone ourselves with a buffalo chicken taco that was absolutely to die for, but we love buffalo chicken, so of course […]
Fruit Pops – Perfect for a cold, snowy day in the Front Range!
Ha. Not. Hey, I did tell you that I was pretty obsessed with my ice pop mold here of late. I’m not going to apologize. I think it’s perfectly find to eat an ice pop when it’s 20 degrees outside and quite snowy =). Well, I really didn’t know that it was supposed to snow […]
Creamy Sweet Potato Mash via Chopped Theme Date Night!
Zach and I decided we would try something new this weekend and have a Chopped theme date night. We LOVE Chopped. It is by far one of our favorite shows to watch. We even have some of the reruns DVRed which is strange I know, but still fun. I’ve been wanting to do this for […]
