Over the last few years I've realized that there are several recipes that Steve and I love to make but we forget about them for months or even years at a time. So I figured, if I'm trying to get better about blogging in general it'll be an easy blog post to recap our weekly dinners and an even ... View Post
Marinated Cheese and PB&J Bars
I realized it's been awhile since I've posted a recipe so I decided to post two of my favorites! These are not really meant to be served at the same time; however, my harp students will be getting them both at group lessons tomorrow so I guess they can tell me what they think! The marinated ...

Fesenjan – Persian Chicken Stew
So, amongst all the new build craziness, I occasionally find time to cook new things. I tried this recipe a few months ago, fell in love with it, and then promptly forgot all about it…it's been a busy few months! Anyway, I was in my fridge the other day and ran across my bottle of pomegranate ... View Post

I've decided to go ahead and include links or recipes for the meals I make daily even ... View Post

This soup is relatively easy to put together and makes your house smell wonderful! It's also guaranteed to fill you up and keep you nice ... View Post

Now that we're back into the academic year I'm falling back in love with my slow cooker. There's nothing better than coming home ... View Post
What happened to round challah? Pt. 2
And the last few recipes: I HATED brussels sprouts as a child…someone referred to them as Little Green Balls of Death at a Thanksgiving dinner years ago and the name stuck. At that moment I decided that I hated them and would never eat them ever again. Fast forward 20 years…my mom tried to ... View Post
What happened to round challah? Pt. 1
L'shana Tova! As most of you know, I've got a very exciting family history…I'm adopted and Japanese, my father is Jewish, and my mother is Christian. As a child, my parents taught me about my heritage and exposed me to Japanese holidays (Girls Day, Tanabata, Obon, etc.) but I also celebrated ... View Post
