Sticky Saucepan Carrots
For the past two years we have hosted a pre-Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner at our house with a small number of friends as a way to take one night to enjoy good food and company during the holiday season. These carrots were by far the star of our meal this year. Surprisingly simple, but...

Garlic - Potato Soup
We made this soup on a day that was apparently very popular for potato soup. A coworker of Corey's and my mom, Linda, both mentioned to us that they had made potato soup the day after we had this soup, which reminded us how much the weather and time of year dictates what we eat. We,...

Molasses Spice Cookies
Given the approaching holiday season, Corey and I decided that it was time to start baking and reviewing a series of treats that make for great gifts and desserts around this time of year. Given that spice and molasses fit well with Thanksgiving feasts, these cookies served as a natural starting...

Arugula with Roasted Salmon and New Potatoes
Warm salads are one of life's many wonderful things, and this salad is no exception to that rule. The roasted potatoes, the smooth texture of the salmon, and the subtle spiciness of the vinegar in this dressing worked so nicely with the bite of the arugula greens in this dish, making a subtly...

Southwestern Beef Chili with Corn
One of the most interesting aspects of planning a weekly menu that is continually filled with new dishes is the sheer number of recipes we find that challenge our expectations of labels. This particular recipe is a prime example of this phenomena. Although labeled a chili, neither of us felt...

Taco Salad

Maple-Orange Glazed Chicken
Like many people, Corey has a strong aversion to some dishes that are similar to foods that he had a bad experience with as a child. Interestingly, Corey is particularly averse to oven baked skin-on chicken. For this reason, we (Corey and I) were particularly surprised when he raved about this...

Fettucine with Lemon, Mint, and Parmesan
This disappointing dish came from Martha Stewart Living, a magazine that has recently become a favorite source for simple and delicious recipes in our house. Much to Corey's delight, this recipe was reserved for an evening when he was out of the house and he was not privy to the absolutely...

Salmon and Fennel with Roasted-Lemon Vinaigrette
One of the things that drew us to try this recipe was the inclusion of fennel in the ingredients, a vegetable that we had never cooked with and neither of us had much (if any) past experience eating. The flavor and the texture of the fennel was very apparent in the end product and as a result the...
