A Twist on the Classic American Cheese Burger & Fries
I’ve heard many people say pizza is like sex — even when its bad, you’re still having pizza. That’s how I feel about burgers. And a good burger instantly sends me into culinary euphoria. One of my favorite burger recipes I’ve developed over the years is a twist on gyros, the slow-cooked spiced Greek meat typically served [...]

Moroccan Stuffed Acorn Squash and Arugula Salad
Our friend Monica loves to garden. So much so that she plants WAY too much and gives tons of home-grown fruits and vegetables away to her very lucky friends. We received an acorn squash from her along with a bunch of other stuff. For the acorn squash we decided that stuffing it somehow would make [...]

First Cayenne Pepper Harvest
This weekend we harvested the first round of peppers from our cayenne plant. This plant is insane! Pictured are roughly 35 peppers. A few weeks ago we pulled maybe 5 – 10 ripe peppers for some salsa. We’ve also been using greens ones from time to time so I would guess that we’ve pulled maybe 50 peppers [...]
Elvis Pancakes (Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes)
I’m not afraid to admit it. I love Neil Diamond. I suppose it’s because my mom did. I remember countless family road trips driven to the tune of “I Am I Said” and Saturday afternoons spent cleaning the house rockin’ along to “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.” Many of my best childhood memories have one [...]

Patty Pan Cakes (Faux Crab Cakes) & Arugula Salad with Lemon Yogurt Dressing
A few weeks ago, Megan’s mom gave us a recipe for these fake crab cakes that are basically a fried shredded zucchini cake. How can that not be good!? Unfortunately, it was right after we finished using the enormous amount of zucchini we had received that week from our CSA — and that was the last zucchini [...]

Chipotle & Roasted Corn Salsa
With all the heirloom tomatoes we’ve received from our CSA recently, it’s been hard to keep up! Now, Megan is not a fan of raw tomatoes at all so we’ve worked hard to come up with interesting ways that we can both enjoy them. There have been lots of pasta and pizza sauces made, and [...]

Shrimp & Smoked Sausage Gumbo
This week we were very excited to see okra in our box from Avalon Acres, our CSA. Growing up, I hated okra. It was slimy and had a terrible texture. The only way I would eat it was fried, and even then half the time I’d just pull the breading off and eat that. My [...]

Peaches & Irish Cream French Toast
After a late night out with friends last night, I had hoped to sleep in and have a fairly lazy Saturday. Apparently my body had different things in mind as I was wide awake at 8 am. While Megan continued to sleep, I began thinking of what to make for breakfast and realized that I [...]
