I have been seriously craving fish and chips lately. I think this is because last time we decided to have fish and chips we healthified them a little too much by crusting sole fish in panko bread crumbs and baking it instead of doing the traditional beer-battered and deep-fried. We baked our thin sliced potatoes [...]
We baked apple crisp on the egg and it turned out incredible. Served with Haggen dazs 1/2 the fat vanilla ice cream and drizzled with our new honey. mmmmmm You’ll need: 6 c thinly sliced apples 1 tbs lemon juice 3/4 c white sugar 2 tbs flour 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg [...]
Tonight’s dinner included one of my all-time favorite side dishes – scalloped potatoes. You’ll need one thinly sliced yukon gold potato per person – in this case we used 2. Heat 1 tbs butter over medium heat. Add in 1/4 yellow onion (chopped) and cook until soft and translucent. Add in 1 tbs flour and [...]

There’s really no measuring here. Enough tomatoes for everyone there, a bit of finely diced red onion, minced garlic, olive oil to coat, splash of balsamic vinegar, cubed feta cheese, fresh basil, fresh flat leaf parsley, s&p. Once all ingredients are combined, let the bruschetta marinate as long as possible (covered with plastic wrap). Serve [...]
Tonight was taco night and I can’t fully enjoy my tacos without some guacamole and tortilla chips to accompany them. Less is definitely more when it comes to guacamole. I like mine best with a heavy squeeze of lemon, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, s&p. Add the salt to taste but you do have to [...]
Thai Red Curry Chicken & Vegetables
Tonight I decided to try something new. I love love love thai food but very rarely make it at home. That might be because the best Thai spot ever (Siam Dish) is about 2 blocks from my house or because generally thai food is not Luke’s favorite. I have experimented with pad thai and mango [...]
