Homemade Focaccia

Homemade Focaccia

We love this recipe because a well-made focaccia is fluffy and flavorful. Play around with variations of toppings, like cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and more. We enjoy ours warmed with butter or room temperature dipped in olive oil. I tried a […]

Veggie Chow Mein

Veggie Chow Mein

This was our first foray into home cooking Chinese food, and it’s quite fun. We’ve been tweaking this recipe over the past few months and happy with how it has turned out. Ramen noodles are a perfect texture, and the only thing we’d love to […]

Zucchini Manicotti

Zucchini Manicotti

Breakfast Frittata

Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle Cookies

We like this recipe because it doesn’t require cream of tartar and they still turn out great.  You should notice an “OR” where baking powder is listed in the ingredients: if you have cream of tartar that’s where you’d sub out baking powder with that […]
