Cucumber Greek Yogurt Dip

Sometimes I think to myself, there should be a Netflix series based off of true events in my life. I’ve already thought this through. It would include narration, screenshots, and re-enactments based on true events. I’m still mentally working out the individual episodes and I’m not sure how I’d break the seasons up, or how many seasons would make up the totality of the series. But I’m telling you, I have some pretty good material to work with. Without getting too detailed, the last two weeks of February were outrageous. A lot a bit of drama, with a side of crazy is probably the best way to describe it.

You’ll want a bowl of Cucumber Greek Yogurt Dip and some chips to snack on for this one … (more…)

Pesto Halloumi Sandwiches

I love cheese. Anyone who claims otherwise does not know me one bit. As a matter of fact, I would be the happiest person if I lived on bread and cheese for the rest of my life (and don’t forget my Diet Coke). I would also be the happiest person if I spent everyday in a place where it was 75 F and sunny. A girl can dream … (more…)

Chocolate Pomegranate Cakelets

Valentine’s Day happens to be one of my favorite days of the year. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not because it’s supposed to be a day for celebrating romance. As a matter of fact, while romance in the movies is adorable, it freaks me out in real life. Do people really want giant bears, and to be drowning in roses?! Sure it looks great in a styled Instagram photo.  But let’s be practical here.  I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not be crammed in an overpriced restaurant with 50 other couples sitting one foot away from each other like ducks in a row listening to each other’s conversations. That’s not to say Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be acknowledged. I won’t say no to flowers on Valentine’s Day, or cheesily asking if I’d be your Valentine. However, I’d much rather have someone show love by randomly picking up my favorite snacks, or sending me relatable memes, or if you’re crafty or artsy, I’ll seriously appreciate something you made by hand. It’s the millennial in me, I guess. That’s me — but don’t think for a second that when friends ask me what they should be doing for their significant other, I don’t come up with cheesy elaborate schemes (something along the lines of romantic movie level showing affection).

Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup

Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup

It’s February! For better or for worse, February is the longest short month of the year. On Friday, our dear friend Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, making everyone up and down the North East groan in despair. Hasn’t this winter been brutal enough?! And just to bring the point home, we were slammed with below freezing temperatures again early this week. It doesn’t look like we’re going to be catching a break anytime soon.

The only solace we have are warm, cozy soups. Garlicky Roasted Asparagus & Tahini Soup, for example, steaming mugs filled with Nutella Hot Chocolate, and lots of chunky layers. I may or may not have a set of grey fleece PJs with a fleece-lined hood that I rock every chance I get. (more…)

Rotisserie Chicken and Garlic Yogurt Salad

We’re keeping it simple today with Garlic Yogurt Chicken Salad. No fuss, no mess, no extra dishes. I just haven’t had the time to deal with complicated dishes.

I’ve been MIA on the blog front for the last two weeks. While no excuse is a good enough excuse, I have to tell you guys what I’ve been working on. It’s been a combination of social overscheduling, craziness at work, and working on some new additions to the blog. (more…)

Goat Cheese and Herb Popovers

Goat Cheese and Herb Popovers

I mentioned last week that we could start eating healthy again this week … but these Goat Cheese and Herb Popovers are just too good to pass up. What’s another week? Also, it’s just too cold to think about going outside, let alone going outside to the gym.

Since New Year, and actually just a few days before New Year, we were hit with some seriously freezing temperatures. I’m talking highs in the teens, and morning and nights below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Bomb Cyclone is what they called it – how do they even come up with these names? Seriously. In any case, it’s been miserable. (more…)
