Quick Pickled Green Beans
Pickled green beans are seriously underrated. Especially the spicy ones. There, we said it. Quick pickled green beans are briny, salty, tangy—and borderline addictive. Every time we set them out on the table, they disappear amazingly fast. You can add pickled green beans to cheese boards, cocktails (like a Caesar or Bloody Mary), or keep […]
Roasted Beet Salad with Labneh
When it comes to planning potluck dinners, salad is usually the last dish to get claimed. Salad isn't as showy as a cheese board, nor is it the dessert that caps off a fun evening. But, this Roasted Beet Salad with Labneh could change your mind about bringing salad to your next dinner party. It's […]

Grilled Potato Salad
Potatoes are one of our favorite foods. In fact, we think they should probably count as their own food group. But despite our love for all things potato, we’re the first to admit that a classic potato salad leaves a lot to be desired. Traditionally, potato salad is smothered with mayonnaise, can often taste bland, […]
Brothy Oven Baked White Beans
These days we’re really leaning into cozy comfort foods - and these brothy oven baked beans certainly fit the bill. They’re as versatile as can be: eat the beans and the garlicky broth as is (or with a side of grilled bread, for dipping), use it as a base for soups/stews, or add a scoop […]
Creamy Mushroom Risotto
Risotto is one of those dishes that people love to order at restaurants, but are usually too intimidated to make at home. We were definitely those people. Last year we figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about: is it really that hard to make risotto at home, on a weeknight? […]

Easy Whole Wheat Quiche Crust
Flour choice is often an overlooked part of the baking process. While regular all-purpose flour is the default for most recipes, using alternative flours (like whole wheat, teff, oat) can create more interesting flavors. For example, whole wheat flour adds a depth and nuttiness which tastes delicious for things like a savory quiche. Now it […]
Curried Pumpkin and Lentil Soup (Vegan)
Soup season is in full swing and we’ve been making this Curried Pumpkin & Lentil Soup more often than we can count.

If you read our earlier post on the Pros & Cons of Cast Iron Pans, you’ll know how important seasoning is for a cast iron pan. While “seasoning” might sound hard and scary, it’s really not as finicky as many make it out to be. What is cast iron “seasoning”? Seasoning is the act of […]

Parsnip Shoestring Fries
Salty cravings are a fact of life. Potato chips, french fries, popcorn: we love them all. But when the hankering hits, our go-to treat is a plate full of piping hot fries.

Everything Bagel Popcorn Seasoning
I’ve been obsessed with popcorn for as long as I can remember. I was that girl who’d buy movie theatre popcorn without even going in to see the movie. When I was stuck late working at the office, I’d often break into my stash of microwave popcorn bags hidden under my desk. And the night […]
Oven Baked Falafel
Whenever we see falafel on the menu, our heart skips a beat. It makes us think of the herb-packed falafel pitas we feasted on in Greece, the mountains of falafel they serve up at our favorite Lebanese restaurant, and frankly, just how good it’ll taste when dunked in tzatziki. For non-meat-eating folks like us, these […]
Quick Pickled Red Cabbage
Quick Pickled Red Cabbage is an easy and delicious way to elevate a meal. Think of it like pickled red onions, except prettier and crunchier. Marinated cabbage is especially delicious with falafel or tacos. I first tried pickled cabbage on a mezze platter at a local Lebanese restaurant. And I've been obsessed with it ever […]
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Tart
Mint and chocolate is a combination we love year ‘round, but during the holidays, it really hits the spot.

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Bars (Carmelitas)
I still remember the day I first discovered Carmelitas. It was a dreary Saturday, and to avoid the rain, I was wandering the mall while on my lunch break. My high-school self must have been looking for something to make me forget about the boring sandwich in my bag...so naturally I ended up with my […]
Vegetarian Lentil Nicoise Salad
Some say that baking your own wedding cake is ambitious. But how about cooking the entire meal, from start to finish? That’s what Anguel and I asked when we first started planning our wedding. And we were promptly told that was the most insane idea we’ve ever had. You know what? It totally was, but […]
Pea and Pesto Spinach Salad
We love this Pea and Pesto Spinach Salad so much that we served it at our own wedding! It's so simple to make, but ridiculously good. This salad is made by tossing tender baby spinach with fresh pesto sauce. Then it's mixed with peas, toasted pine nuts, and freshly grated Parmesan. It's a reminder that […]
BBQ Pulled Mushroom Sandwiches
There’s a craft brewery in our neighborhood that has surprisingly good food. And by good, I mean amazing. In fact, Anguel & I might like their food even more than their beers...and as I write this, I realize that might be faux pas to admit out loud, but just being honest. One of our favorite […]
2-Ingredient Chipotle Mayo
Chipotle mayo is the cool kid on the block when it comes to sauces, and we think it’s totally deserved. Besides being the best partner-in-crime for crispy sweet potato fries, it also happens to make one of the best spreads/sauces in epic veggie burgers (like this one). Want to jazz up a boring sandwich? Want […]
Mason Jar Cold Brew Coffee
There’s something so hard to resist about iced coffee. The clinking of ice cubes, the condensation that forms as the warm air touches the cool glass, or the slow drip of that rogue water droplet sliding down the side of the bottle. All this while you’re likely mopping sweat from your brow, in the stifling […]
