Mexican-Style Lamb Burgers … I was really really really just craving a burger …
I mean really craving a burger. Ever since Zach and I decided to cut back on our meat intake to once or twice a week, I’ve been craving one. I’m dead serious. Now that it’s the weekend. It’s time to splurge! … and splurge in the form of Mexican-style lamb burgers we did. Did I […]
Sage-Infused Brown Butter Linguine and Scallops
So here’s the deal. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find fresh seafood in Colorado. Actually, I take that back. You can of course find fresh seafood, but you will have to pay an arm and a leg for it. Unless it comes from a nearby lake or maybe, perhaps a surplus of fish from the […]
Duck Fried Rice … with a Sunny Side Up Egg!
Yes, we are skipping the addition of “scrambled” eggs for this fried rice recipe and just dumping an egg on top at the end. Here is why…there is nothing I hate more in this world than a crusty, tough piece of scrambled egg. I think that it’s quite possible that I’ve only ever had fried […]
Sweet Potato Chili
I’ve never been a huge chili fan. Maybe it’s because that it’s just never prepared the way I like. Zach, however, is a HUGE chili fan, and in our attempt to eat less meat we decided to try to tackle a vegetarian chili. I know. It sounds strange. How can you even begin to make […]
Vegetarian Pot Pies
Vegetarian pot pies are the perfect way to impress your guests at your next dinner party!
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
