Garlic-Lime Adobo Chicken

Full of fresh flavors that blend together for a lovely combination. It may seem like a lot of garlic and lime juice, but trust me, it’s amazing! Perfect for a quick dinner, and one of the most popular dishes when the store was running. Read more…
Mango Jicima Salad
~ Mary ~
This refreshing salad has been sitting in my drafts for quite some time now. It’s been waiting for quantities of all the ingredients, of which, I do not have. It’s always been one of those care free salads you can throw together and adjust according to your taste. Read more…
Prosciutto Wrapped Cantaloupe
~ Katy~
Last weekend we had a great Easter dinner out in Winkerville. As we were all chowing down and grunting about how delicious the food was, out of nowhere, Patty says, “You don’t get food like this in a nursing home!” WHAT?! There was a short pause as we took this in, then we guffawed for a good, long time. It’s already one of our new catch-phrases. Read more…
Double Cheese and Ham Quiche
~ Katy~
I was going to make our standard quiche for brunch when I thought, “Why not try something new?” I did, and it turned out pretty good. This recipe came from Oprah Magazine, and it piqued my interest enough however many years back, to tear it out and throw it in the “I will try this someday” recipe abyss. Read more…
Chocolate Malt Cake
~ Mary ~
Last month, my friend, Culinary Cory was in town to celebrate his birthday, and I baked him this show stopper! It truly emulated a celebration, and what’s not to love about a cake that has; malted fudge sauce, burnt marshmallows and two layers dedicated to a malted milk crumb?!
I usually won’t try new recipes out on company, but Cory is family, and gets just as excited about a new food/recipe/cookbook/gadget etc… as I do. He is the perfect person to try anything new with – always up to what’s hip/hop/happenin’ and welcomes the opportunity to participate. Thankfully his spouse and friends are just as accommodating!

Salmon with Mango Salsa
~ Katy ~
The weather has been, thankfully, unseasonably warm this winter and spring, so when I got friends together at the beginning of March, I dusted off the grill, got in the mood for salsa, and used this Molly Birnbaum recipe that caught my eye in a recent Oprah magazine. It is a great combination! Read more…
Perfect Popovers
~ Katy ~
Mom used to make popovers fairly often. Every time she did, she’d tell us, in no uncertain terms, that we were not to 1) stomp around, 2) make loud noises, and 3) do anything to prevent the popover from popping over. I didn’t understand why she continually went to the trouble of making these since they are, well, time-consuming and kind of pain in the ass to make. Then, I’d take one bite of that eggy, buttery goodness and know. Perfection in a bite. Read more…
5 Days of Pizza
Asian Chicken Pizza
~ JP ~
The winter blahs have set in and we’re less interested in cooking dinner. Instead, we’ve been cooking a big batch of something on the weekends and using it through the week. We’ve done a series of soups, lasagna, and a giant pork loin. Dinner is easier when part of the meal is done – you only have to prep side dishes. So, we found this recipe for pizza dough that fits this approach. Make a big batch of dough, keep it in the fridge, and use it piecemeal during the week. I thought I’d try it, and the results were great. Read more…
