Each Christmas, our family makes mushroom lasagna for the main meal. We decided that since we normally pull out the mushrooms, that is kind of a waste, so we decided we would create a new lasagna where we would eat every […]

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 […]
This Sourdough starter practically changed our lives! We got it a couple of months ago from Fermentation on Wheels (through our school and teacher). It is part of a 100 year old starter because when you grow a starter you can take some of it to share. It’s like friendship bread. […]
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 […]
I love savory breakfasts, I love peas and I love avocados so I combined all of my favorites to make pea pancakes topped with delicious guacamole and beautiful crunchy and refreshing pea sprouts! You might have seen us make this recipe on Rachael Ray!? She loves peas too ( : Lyla’s Pea […]
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, […]
This pesto is so fresh and perfectly green (Lyla’s favorite color). It is really simple. We made it in our Vitamix but you can make it in a food processor or regular blender too. With pesto you normally add parmesan cheese but we did not have any so we topped our pesto pasta off with goat […]
Some people think that Emily and I are so alike, but we are two peas in a pod that each have different personalities. We wanted to show everyone this by having one of our favorite ingredients, the pea, be a play on words, in an ingredient collaboration. Two peas in a pod. […]
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 ( : […]
I was in the mood for something sweet and salty for dinner. I love butternut squash and coconut milk and caramelized onion so I combined these for a really yummy pasta sauce that had just the right amount of sweet and savory and a tiny bit of spiciness from a dash […]
We welcome you to our vegan week review! You might wonder: • What is vegan exactly? • Why a vegan week? • Is it hard to be vegan? • Does vegan food taste good? • Will vegan food fill you up? • Do we recommend a vegan week? All these […]
Hi Everyone, I am Emily and Lyla’s mom, otherwise known as Cricket. I am “guest” posting today to share my recipe for beet ravioli. The ravioli is actually thinly sliced beets rather than pasta. If you are a beet lover, like we are, you will love this. This recipe was […]
Gazpacho is like a liquid salad and is technically made with tomatoes. We don’t use tomatoes for this Gazpacho, but it is like a liquid salad and easier to eat than regular salad! Our Suja Gazpacho is easy to make, and in the end is so refreshing. Emily and I love all […]
Last night it was a do-it-yourself dinner, and I offered to make mac & cheese for Emily and me. It was a delicious meal, and I would love to share it with you. This simple recipe is a do it yourself kind of meal. You get to decide how cheesy […]
We all loved this meal of parmesan polenta, roasted fennel and sautéed zucchini. It was fun and easy to make. Everyone loves fennel except Emily, but that just means more for rest us. I hope that you make this simple, but delicious meal! PARMESAN POLENTA Ingredients 4 1/2 cubes of Not […]
For our birthday our grandparents got us a gift certificate to William Sonoma and we got a sushi making kit. We love sushi and this was even better because we could make it ourselves! So, if you love sushi and want to make it at home, but need some tips, […]
This was the first time I tried Gazpacho. I made it with my dad and I really liked it. We used fresh red cherries as the secret ingredient (not so secret anymore though). My mom said we shouldn’t use cherries, she thought it would be gross…but she was wrong and […]
What is Meatless Monday? Meatless Monday is a day to try and not eat meat, and that is easy for us because we are vegetarian (well mostly, sometimes we eat fish). If you do eat meat and want to try eating less, this is a way to not eat meat […]
This salad is a “wonder” blend of veggies and fruits with an aged balsamic vinaigrette. This sounds fancy, but it is really simple. We had tried kale chips before and liked them and then we tried a kale salad at a friend’s house, so we decided we would make one at […]
