Roasted Salmon and Vegetables

November 15, 2021

Every once in a while, we just get sucked into one channel for a few weeks. A little over a year ago, we were watching Food Network all the time. The last time we did that was during my entire parental leave with Liam. One day, I was watching GZ make a really delicious-looking meal on the Food Network. GZ was making a one-pan roasted salmon and vegetable dinner. The…

Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad: Cooking Through Cravings

October 17, 2018

The more proper name for this salad should be ‘Harvest Salad’. This will make a great starter or side salad for Thanksgiving or compliment any fall meal. While pretty basic, this sweet potato and pomegranate salad is delicious. Everything works together really well and the garlicky honey-dijon dressing pulled it together. The original salad was filled with butternut squash, which would be just as delicious, but we substituted it out…

We wanted to experiment with some of the internet’s greatest…

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

August 31, 2016

We’ve tried to make sweet potato fries for what seems like forever. Whether we fried or baked sweet potato fries, we couldn’t find the right seasoning, temperature, or recipe that worked in our flavor! They were either undercooked, burnt, or too salty. But how are there so many recipes out there and we can’t make it work? Maybe it’s…us? It’s been such an adventure, like my hush puppies. Fatima and I…

Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash with Fresh Avocado

March 29, 2016

Our friend Ashley made a delicious sweet potato hash for our “First Day of Fall” party a few months ago. It was delicious. When thinking about what we were going to make for Brunch this past Easter weekend, we had a leftover sweet potato from our sweet potato mash and tilapia dinner the other night. Using Ashley’s dish as a guide, we put our twist on this and made vegetarian sweet potato hash. Hash can…
