In the summer, it is drilled into our head to hydrate. So we drink a lot of water and stay hydrated especially while playing sports or being active. In the spring and summer, we play a lot of lacrosse so as it gets hotter and hotter we need to keep […]

A lot of times, people just cook for meals. That is basically the opposite for us. We cook nonstop whenever we can. And so today, when I wanted to cook something, I saw some tomatoes in the fridge and decided to make a roasted tomato dip. It is […]
This is a really delicious recipe for banana oat muffins. We make our own oat flour out of old-fashioned oats. Don’t use the quick oats because they just have a different taste and texture. You put the oats in a blender and blend until very smooth like a flour (we have […]
Crust, for me, is something that has to be perfect. Not too thick, not too thin, not too crunchy, not too soft. I found myself not eating the crust of many pizza slices, and I said to myself that it was really such a waste, so I decided to make […]
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and in order to get ready, we have an awesome pumpkin dip recipe to share. It’s our family friend Mrs. Terry’s dip. It tastes like pumpkin pie, but when paired with salty pretzels or crisp radishes (those are some of our favorites), it transforms your […]
Pumpkin Date Bars I was inspired to create this recipe after trying a pumpkin pie Lara Bar. Since it is fall, I thought these would be perfect. And who doesn’t like a little pumpkin here and there?! We do we just stocked up on cans of pumpkin. Hope you love […]
This is a delicious recipe for Peach Coconut Oat Cake Crumble that is derived from many different recipes of ours. We didn’t have enough ingredients to make a blueberry muffin batch, so we devised this recipe from it, and the recipe just evolved. This cake is a great snack. It’s very […]
I was in the kitchen the other day and saw this large sweet potato. An idea immediately sparked in my head. That idea was to make sweet potato fries! I quickly set on making the recipe. When they came out of the oven, the were devoured within minutes. This […]
As some of you may know, one of my favorite cuisines is Thai. This recipe was inspired by the best Thai restaurant around us. I love to explore different foods, so when I saw pickled cucumbers on the menu, I opted to ordering them. When I took my first […]
This summer we have been doing a lot of hiking in the Adirondack Mountains and there are always lots of wild blueberries, so we were inspired to make blueberry muffins. We actually bought our blueberries from our farm stand from a mother and daughter farmer because the blueberries we pick do not […]
We have done a lot of experimenting with banana bread. Some from other peoples recipes, some of our own. Some have been OK, or too dry or too sweet or just so so. Finally, we have come up with our own recipe that we think is very delicious and the best. […]
Have you ever had savory tartlets before? Well these are the best ever! They have rosemary, feta, tomatoes, and onions! They are the perfect appetizer bites and mini treats! This is what you need to make them: 1 sweet onion 5 medium-sized tomatoes (campari are good) 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, […]
Our mom loves green shakes especially in our new Vitamix. This is one we made that is her favorite and ours too. Simple Green Shake Serves 2 Ingredients 1 cup water 1 cup green grapes 2 cups spinach 1 banana 1 pear squeeze of half a lemon 1/2 cup ice […]
These have a nice toasty flavor with a little nutty sweetness from the almonds and apricots. The tapioca flour turns these into the perfect cracker! We hope you try to make them they are super easy and delicious. Emily and Lyla Recipe below photos. Ingredients: 1/2 cup plus […]
Spring is in the Air! That makes us excited because Spring is famous for delicious fruits and veggies which make for some fun food. A way to celebrate is with Spring Rolls which we think are quite a festive to roll into spring (get it? we are all about a play on words lately ( : […]
These artichokes are to-die-for. They are crispy, herby, and lemony. They melt in your mouth and are perfection with a cooling lemon dijon aioli. My mom had made these before, but it was a totally different recipe and never quite as delicious (sorry mom!) Today I was home with a bad cold, […]
The Super Bowl. It is one of the most exciting foodie days of the year. You need to be prepared to watch hours of football, though, and that is where we come into the game. Snacks, you need a ton of them. And when we say a ton, we […]
My creamy salsa recipe is quick, simple, really tasty and healthy. Tomatillos are kind of like tomatoes and have a little shell on them like a husk cherry does. They are really delicious in salsa. In normal salsa I can never scoop it up, so to my tomatillo salsa I added […]
Do you play any sports? This is something our mom has made for us on game days and it’s really delicious and she makes sure we drink it so we are hydrated. The chia gets a little gel-like which is what makes it extra good for staying hydrated because the seed actually […]
It’s just early morning in this video here and I am making our Kitchen Twins Toasted Coconut Kale Chips. I first coated the kale with the olive oil in the bag (#ShakeYourKale!!) and now I am sprinkling on the toasted coconut. And voila in 8- 10 minutes fresh kale chips we […]
