We are so lucky to have an endless supply of cozy date night spots in New York City. However, sometimes you just want a date night in. One of our first dates (9 years ago!) was a homemade dinner. But just because you're making dinner doesn't mean it has to be boring! We're talking about our favorite date night dinner ideas for two.…
In this episode we cover our favorite childhood food! From cookies, to red sauce, to peanut butter chicken, we take a step back in time. Try not to get too hungry.…
Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s homemade sweet Italian sausage red sauce on pasta night. Sunday afternoon, my mom would start the sauce, it would cook for the rest of day and be ready just in time for dinner.

The first time Brian and I made dumplings was with my friend, Christine. She came over to our apartment and made these delicious shrimp and ground meat dumplings for us. We reimagined this recipe and made vegetable dumplings! When Brian and I are out to eat, I will always try to order vegetable dumplings. One day, I may turn into a dumpling. Surprisingly, I’ve had a hard time finding a great place for dumplings in New…

On our once-in-a-blue-moon trips to Taco Bell, my go-to meal is the Crunchwrap Supreme. It’s glorious. Something about the combination of the moist, taco-seasoned beef,…

We like to do lots of things together like run in the Color Run, drinks lots and lots of Marquis-ritas, and share recipes. I decided to make their Turkey Meatball recipe Monday night for dinner but ran into one big problem…I don’t do jar sauces. This may sound really snooty, but I fault my…
I love cooking, well I like baking decadent desserts better, but I love crafting food from scratch. This weekend, I took a recipe I learned from a wine tasting and turned it into one of the best homemade-pizzas I’ve ever made… I made a steak pizza, and a mushroom pizza, on homemade* dough. The Dough (Flatbread Style) Made from milk, yeast, and flour. Beat up, and sat out for…
