This last year has been filled with all the comfort food. Brian’s go-to comfort food is dessert. Exhibit A. I love a hearty meal; one that warms the soul. One of the meals that gets us through the falls and winters is this black bean soup. It’s the epitome of comfort food: hearty, warming, flavorful, and delicious. I originally wanted to make this soup because my mom loves black bean…
My love for Indian food started with my late nights at work. My team and I would try to find a new place every night to eat to make the long hours bearable. We would decide where to order based on a place around the world. I know we sound pretty lame, but this was the only thing we looked forward to after 6pm. One of my favorite nights was…
Do you have a favorite meal? If you can make it quick, it's already one of our favorites. We walk through how to make a fajita quesadilla, entertaining tips, and how to make a Marquisrita on the rocks.…
Our next stop through Cravings brings us to these King’s Hawaiian BLPTs. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the retailer, not by Lilies and Loafers. Check out our other Cravings posts and be sure to get yourself a copy of the cookbook! I think Fatima and I advanced to the next level of psychic-ness…
Get your grocery list at the ready. We’ve got a survival guide to get you through this snowstorm. One of the biggest Nor’easters of the season heading our way. Chances are, you’re gonna get hit. The best way to combat any snowstorm is by consuming all the comfort food you can and falling into a food coma. Bonus points if it falls on an SVU marathon day. I love the snow. Growing up in New England,…
If you could whip up fall over the stove, it would be called Pumpkin Bisque. This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the fall. I recently made this for our Harry Potter Halloween Party last month and I plan to make it again for Thanksgiving. What’s great about this recipe is you can substitute the pumpkin purée for butternut squash. I realize that butternut squash may be the…
After that election, I think most of us (and yes, most, since Hillary won the popular vote) are in the need of a drink and some comfort food. Chrissy Teigen’s mac and cheese recipe was the first recipe we tried. However, I was waiting for the perfect time to blog about it. I know when I’m having a stressful week, my favorite dinner is a form of therapy. This mac and cheese recipe…
Growing up, we rarely went out to fast food restaurants. My parents made a point to make sure we were eating a homemade meal at the dinner table every night. It wasn’t until college where I really delved into the fast food world. Chipotle and Popeye’s were within walking distance of our campus – very dangerous. Fatima, then opened my eyes up to KFC and their mashed potato bowl. While…
Jonas is making a big stank as the winter’s first snow storm in the Northeast and in other parts of the country. Chances are, you’re getting hit. The best way to combat a cold snow storm, is through all the comfort food and margaritas; shaken and frozen! Here’s a round-up of our favorite comfort foods.…
Fatima makes the best fried chicken. Paired with some buffalo sauce, we stepped up our buffalo chicken game and made a delicious fried buffalo chicken pizza. We love our pizzas. 1. Because they’re easy, 2. It’s a meal we can make and personalize together, and 3. They’re delicious. While the dough can be the hardest part of the pizza, there are many options of dough to appease all skill levels…
We needed something cheesy, saucy, and warm, so we made calzones. They are very easy to make, and the only preparation is to make or take out that pizza dough from the freezer the night before or if made, a few hours ahead of time to let the dough rise. Calzones will offer a warm comfort from the cool nights ahead. We loved making these, and so happy that we…
