The Super Bowl and our 6-months-engaged-6-months-to-go Anniversary fell on the same weekend. The former means little to us other than fatty food, but the latter, well, we were pretty excited about. To celebrate both, we made a bunch of new, indulgent recipes. The scones below [...]

Cinnamon Muffins
We woke up craving muffins — blueberry muffins. Then we realized that it’s mid-October and that the good, reasonably priced blueberries are probably long gone. We became more acutely aware of this later in the day when we stepped outside to find it raining, and [...]
Tomato Miso Soup
Have you ever decided to make a recipe, gone shopping for the ingredients and then forgotten to get the key one, only realizing it part way into the cooking process? Well, that’s what we did last Saturday. We had decided to stay in, make dinner, [...]

Lazy Sunday Biscuits
We spent most of our weekends away this summer, which means that most of our Sundays have been spent en route back to Manhattan. We’re not complaining. We loved tubing in the Poconos, cooking over a campfire, and having family time in Oregon, Massachusetts, and [...]
Pea and Leek Pesto
Our first summer together was spent packed with dinner dates — ones where we were getting to know each other, but also ones where we were getting to know each other’s friends. But Zach was paying off grad school loans and Amanda was still on [...]
Mac and Cheese with Kick
