Brazilian lemonade (which actually isn't lemonade at all) has been making the rounds on the internet for many years, and we have been making it for about that long. Coconut and limes are a perfect pair, so it is no surprise this variation is a creamy, rich, and refreshing take. This would also make for […]
Peach Cornmeal Olive Oil Cake
I am a little bit obsessed with olive oil cakes. The first time I tried one was actually when Trevor made me a recipe that I had been eying for a long time but hadn't gotten around to making. Even though baking isn't really his thing, I think the two of us devoured the entire […]
Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza with Crispy Onions
Hey guys, it's Trevor. We are taking a turn from normal posting habits and instead of Melissa writing this post, I get to take a stab at it. It doesn't happen very often, but once in a while I get an amazing idea or make a significant contribution that convinces Melissa that it is worth keeping […]
Dulce De Leche Ice Cream
If you want a dessert that tastes much more complex and labor intensive than it actually is, this is your recipe. It only has a handful of ingredients, but is an amazing ice cream. It is delicious on its own, but add the pecans if you like a little crunch. Or, if you want to […]
Salt Roasted Chicken
Like most home cooks, chicken is a fairly frequent staple on our table, and we are always looking for new ways to cook it. My favorite recipes tend to be simple ones that don't need elaborate steps just to be flavorful or moist, and those that I can always rely on to turn out perfectly. […]
Hasselback Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Smoked Gouda Sauce
Over the weekend, I had plans to make a big Sunday dinner since I hadn't had very much time in the kitchen during the week. I made my menu and my store list, planning to go buy all the ingredients Saturday night. And then, come Saturday night, Thompson got sick and all plans went out […]
Roasted Cherry Tomato Pesto Sauce
One of my favorite tricks for fast meals is to stock our freezer with a variety of different sauces. The ones that I always come back to are the ones that are the most versatile and that still taste fresh when defrosted. This is one of those. We eat this on fresh pasta, as a […]
Brown Butter Hazelnut Cookies
I know it is a little crazy to say, but neither Trevor nor I are huge chocolate fanatics. When we were both younger, we would look for the chocolate chip cookies with the fewest chocolate chips. Our tolerance has increased a little over the years, but even still, we generally choose non-chocolate desserts over chocolatey […]
Cornmeal Biscuits
Recently when we were having some guests over to eat, I was having an internal debate about whether to make biscuits or cornbread to serve with the chili I was cooking. Big life decisions, I know. But I really couldn't choose, mostly because I wanted to eat them both. Finally, as dinner time crept closer, […]
Blackberry Mint Vinaigrette
I have many salad dressing recipes, but somehow, I tend to get bored and am always on the look out for new ones. This is definitely one that I will be adding to my collection. Blackberry Mint Vinaigrette Print Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small shallot, sliced 1 pint fresh blackberries ½ cup […]
Butter Pecan Brittle
My grandma was known for her candy making. She passed away before I was born, but I love hearing my dad's stories about seeing her in the kitchen making her famous fudge and perfect caramels. Despite having never met her, I always felt a connection to her and my dad's heritage as I learned how to […]
Mexican Street Corn Salad
The summer I was pregnant with Thompson, I went on a solo trip back to Chicago to visit my family. Trevor was in a Masters program and had to stay and work, so I left him alone for a few weeks. Night after night of a quiet house and missing me, he decided to surprise […]
