Rematch
Ok, so the first post was called Pierogies. I was informed (by Nick) shortly after publishing the post that it’s actually Perogies. Subtle, but different. I swear I looked it up! But, I’m going to go with the “spelling that has been used for three generations of my Polish family.” Three generations, huh? I dig.…

Pierogies
I remember that first bite vividly. The whole family was staring at me, waiting with bated breath to see my reaction. This was an extremely important dinner, as it would be the deciding factor in shaping my future. You think I’m kidding, but I was specifically told that I couldn’t marry into the family unless…

Sauced
I love making things from scratch. It just tastes better, 99% of the time. There’s so much satisfaction in saying “I made it myself.” You always know exactly what went in it, and you can tailor it to suit your tastes. That being said, I don’t know that I would have attempted to make my…

Forget about it! Unfortunately, when Tipu’s was still around, I wasn’t brave enough to venture farther than the samosas. …

I Know it's Not Christmas Yet
Sorry if the song gets stuck in your head. It was stuck in mine throughout the entire roasting process, even though it’s nowhere near Christmas and we didn’t have an open fire. I hate that! The other night, Nick walked through the door and tossed a sack into my lap. I was surprised for two…

Pumpkin Seeds
I have joined the scores of food bloggers who have gone pumpkin crazy this fall. I find no shame in this fact. And it’s been really fun trying new things, like Pumpkin Macaroni & Cheese. The latest in the line of new pumpkin goodies are roasted pumpkin seeds. Toasted, crunchy, and just a hint of…
