Bonjour! Let’s make a Rice Gateau! We are traveling to Paris, France for our honeymoon and we wanted to share a unique Parisian sweet treat we hope to find during our trip. Over a year ago Devin and I were walking home after dinner (and a few drinks) and stumbled into a used bookstore. Their cookbook collection was quite impressive and we left with The Essential Rice Cookbookby Zoe Harpham. This…

Pasta & Cherry Tomato Pie

This weekend we made what I would like to call a rustic charmer. Pasta & Cherry Tomato Pie according to The Easy Kitchen: Comfort Food, is considered a Scottish pie which from what I can tell is a mac & cheese filled pie crust with sliced cherry tomatoes on top to resemble pepperoni on a pizza. We weren’t quite sure what to think about this recipe but TRUST ME it’s good.  Typically this pie is…

I’ll admit it, every January I join the healthy bandwagon and pledge my life to eating better and going to the gym. Now, I haven’t visited the gym yet…but I have started to eat healthier! I count this as a huge win during the first month of 2018.

This means Devin and I have FIVE-holiday…

Happy DAM Good Drinks Day! If you are gluten free then you know cider is your best friend.

I personally prefer very dry ciders so, I’m always on the quest to find dry ciders that fit the flavor…

Asian Style Sweet Potato Salad

I love potato salad. I feel like Oprah when she shouts “I LOVE BREAD” but obviously I would never shout I love bread. That’s just silly. Back to the point of the post: Potato salad is simply the best side food. It’s filling, soft, cold, different textures, full of mayo, goes with any main dish, etc. Why I’m not serving it at my wedding I don’t know! Perfection in my opinion. The other day I was…
