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. […]
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 […]
This is a delicious recipe for peach galette. It is great in the summer with fresh peaches and we have made for the holidays or just for a random treat dessert. The crust is flaky and delicious with a soft peach filling that is definitely going to win over your guests […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Eggs with Sweet and Spicy Pineapple! Emily and I love to give each other Chopped baskets, and one time she gave me pineapple, sriracha, tempeh, and mayo. I thought well grilled pineapple is good, so that’s just what I did for the main accent what I turned into an open faced breakfast egg […]
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. […]
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, […]
Every year kids make valentine’s to give to their teachers or friends. This year maybe give something a little different. We love making delicious cakes and brownies and putting our own powdered sugar “cut-out” messages and designs on them. We like to sometimes put joke messages on the cakes too like we did […]
This recipe is such a delicacy, and it is really simple too! We were at William Sonoma the other day, and it they had so many samples! One happened to be chocolate peppermint bark! We were so inspired by the […]
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 […]
This is a really delicious, extra rich and creamy hot chocolate with a very special fall ingredient- pumpkin!! I love all things pumpkin and one day I was just experimenting with my hot chocolate and added in pumpkin and some spices. It turned out to be the best hot chocolate I’ve ever […]
