Beef stroganoff was a childhood staple of mine and I always looked forward to dinner when this was on the menu. When I moved into my first apartment after the college dorms this was something I cooked quite frequently because it was so inexpensive and easy. While this is typically […]
Let’s talk about shredded meat for a second; are you a fan? Gabe and I have a serious thing for any meat that is so tender and juicy that you can pull it apart with two forks. It’s one of our favorite ways to prepare meat because A) it’s so […]
I have never known a tired like back-to-school tired. The first couple weeks of school are a brutal adjustment back into reality and I always feel like I go from a deep REM sleep straight into an uphill sprint. No warm up, no stretching, just wake up and GO! During […]
When I was in college I used to go to a certain chain restaurant and order a buffalo chicken tender ranch salad when I wanted to eat “healthy”. My roommate’s parents would send us a gift card once a month to this particular restaurant and we’d allow ourselves to indulge […]

While looking through our pantry, we came across some kalamata olives and artichoke hearts which was equally exciting and scary since we couldn’t remember buying either of these and they aren’t typical ingredients we “just have” in our cupboard.

Have you ever had a meal that was so good you think about months or years later? Gabe and I were talking about such a meal a couple weeks ago and our craving for the dish set in hard! In Breckenridge, CO there is a steakhouse called Briar Rose that […]
Raise your hand if you like meals that can be cooked in one pan and take under 30 minutes to cook. WE DO, WE DO! That is why this is a staple in our house. Gabe and I have this conversation about every 4-5 weeks: Rachel: “I need to go […]
