Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
It’s Chicken Tortilla Soup minus the “tortilla” but plus avocado, cilantro, and monterrey jack cheese! I don’t go for the tortilla strips in the soup, but I do try to serve it with tortilla chips…just in case anyone calls me on not bringing tortilla to the table when it comes to Chicken Tortilla Soup. Mitch’s … Continue reading
Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala
We made Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala! This meal requires several steps before getting everything into the slow cooker, but once it’s there…wow. Honestly, the only issue with this meal is that it smells SO GOOD all day long (and it made our apartment smell like an Indian restaurant…for a couple of days). Claiming that … Continue reading
Red Lentil Soup
Perhaps I’ve been too busy eating Red Lentil Soup instead of actually posting about it. Well, here we go. I recently discovered that I love Aarti. I have NEVER seen her show on the Food Network (Baby Cupcake stares at the TV so it pretty much has to be off except for Carolina basketball games … Continue reading
Crock Pot Tomato Soup
One of the great things about Mitch is he loves tomato soup and grilled cheese. As a professed-tomato-hater for my entire life (unless those tomatoes were in the form of pizza sauce of course), it took me a little while to finally come around to tomato soup. Once I did start eating it and feeling … Continue reading
Hello 2012! Hello Paella!
SEVEN years ago–when we first started dating (our second date to be exact)–Mitch and I met up to spend Christmas and New Year’s in Barcelona, Spain. We ate Paella on New Year’s Eve before heading back to our long-distance relationship on separate continents (North America for me and Africa for Mitch)! In my dream world, … Continue reading
Greek Panzanella (It’s SALAD WEEK!)
After two weeks of vacation, it was time for a few salads this week. And here’s the twist: NO LETTUCE! It’s not like I have something against lettuce, but I wanted to avoid being too salad-boring…so giving lettuce the boot was a good step. Here’s the line up for the week: I’ve already posted Edamame … Continue reading
Calabacitas
Mitch took over the kitchen again to recreate a delicious Calabacitas dish that our friend Emily introduced us to at a potluck (always a good place to round up recipes!). This was news to me, but Calabacitas is a Southwestern dish that involves sauteeing summer squash, onions, and peppers. There are many ways to spin … Continue reading
Caprese Salad
Very important news flash: Caprese Salad is the best summer meal of all time! Officially. We’ve been having caprese salad every Saturday for the past couple of weeks. It’s such a delicious meal that takes less than 5 minutes to make. It’s just so fresh and perfect. As with, well, everything, the best ingredients matter. I’m … Continue reading
BLT Farm-to-Table
Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Homemade bread. Farm-to-Table is all the rage (at least in some circles, right?). There are restaurants around that are highlighting local foods and this meal definitely does the same thing. Buying produce and meat at our farmer’s market is a favorite hobby, and this weekend I headed there with no specific meal in … Continue reading
Salsa
This breakfast survivor is like the two-hour special–meaning that it’s of the “To Be Continued” variety. Our competitors are Egg and Cheese Breakfast Tacos vs. Huevos Rancheros. It’s a Mexican showdown that realistically had to be spread over two days to give each dish the respect it deserves. I’ll let it slip that the breakfast … Continue reading
