We love living in New York City. This place has everything you could ever dream of and more — a thousand-million-billion restaurants (where else can you choose between 20 Indian/Thai/Italian/Burger restaurants all within walking distance?), museums galore (even if you can only afford them one [...]

Mozzarella and Tomato Salad
We created a joint bank account about a year and a half ago, but came to that decision understanding that we had very different spending-backgrounds… (one of us was used to spending and the other of us was used to saving). After our first dates, [...]

Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza
This one is Z’s favorite of our pizza recipes. It includes two of his greatest loves — Pepperoni and Mushrooms! And with the fresh tomatoes, as far as he is concerned, you can’t go wrong. The original idea for this one was actually to do [...]
Asparagus, Cherry Tomatoes, Ricotta and Lemon Zest Gemelli
What do all of those things above have in common? Apparently, they are delicious when served together with some ricotta in a bowl of gemelli. This recipe is inspired by (ok, almost entirely shamelessly stolen from) Dinner: a Love Story. In fact, when we saw [...]

Sonia’s Salad
We like to call this a Sonia Salad. A spent two college summers living with her Aunt Sonia and Uncle Chris. During that time Sonia taught her the beauty of salad (A had previously written off all fresh vegetables, we know, that’s not a normal [...]
The Joys of Cooking: Stuffed Shells
Last summer we did a blind wine tasting with two of our friends, using two bottles of wine, priced at $20 and $40. We had asked the guy at the Eataly wine shop to pick out the absolute best wine within each category, bag them [...]
Simple Tomato Sauces
People don’t often order the spaghetti with tomato sauce at a fancy restaurant, but when Z’s friend Diana says to, you should probably follow suit. We were too taken by the description of some other dishes and ordered pumpkin ravioli and rabbit ragu. Oops. In [...]

“Trust me, I’m a chef.”
Don’t worry — the quotes around the title denote that that sentiment is not ours. We like to cook for sure, but we are far from even considering calling ourselves chefs. But not as much can be said for the random guy at the supermarket [...]

Not so “sin”ful salad
We are on a crazy movie kick. In fact, we are probably the reason that Netflix is going to charge for discs and streaming separately. We have caught up on somewhat recently acclaimed movies like “The Fighter” and “127 Hours.” We have watched movies at [...]
Worth a shot
We have been meaning to post about our successfully failed dinner party for a while and hope it isn’t too late. The short version is that we made a relatively last minute decision to host a big dinner party and cooked a four-course meal for eight. [...]

Corn, Tomato and Black Bean Salad
(Side note: We have had a few requests for a subscription option and just wanted to let you know we have one now. It’s at the bottom of our left-hand sidebar.) Now onto the blog… This past weekend was spent in Massachusetts with A’s family. [...]
