Inspiration: Brandon and I love arugula. It’s Brandon’s favorite salad green, and even though we’re not huge salad eaters (mainly because we both prefer our side dishes at supper to...
Inspiration: Week day breakfasts can be challenging for us in the mornings because there just isn’t an overload of extra time. I’m truly a breakfast lover, so I’d love to whip up in...
Inspiration: I just had to check out a recipe entitled armadillo eggs. I don’t know if these are a common thing to most people, but for us, they were completely unheard of and intriguing. One o...
Inspiration: I’ve been trying my hardest to keep my word to Brandon and include more meals on our menu with Chinese-inspired ingredients. This recipe struck me as particularly interesting becau...
Inspiration: Ahhh, pesto and prosciutto. It’s one of those food pairings that’s just perfect, isn’t it? Peanut butter and jelly fancified. I never tire of the combination, and we ju...
Inspiration: When Brandon and I go to our favorite Chinese restaurant in town, we usually share an order of lettuce wraps for an appetizer and then split an entree. There’s just something so re...
Inspiration: As you may be able to tell from some of our previous posts (zucchini, spaghetti squash, butternut squash and poblano), we love a good vegetable gratin. Our suppers are always vegetable-h...
We’re pleased to say that Our Life in Food finally has a new Facebook page. Please head on over and check us out here!
Inspiration: A one-pot dish with Mexican flair and lots of pepper jack cheese? I’m in. I sometimes think that Brandon and I could eat this style of food every day (Mexican, Tex-Mex, Mexican-ins...
Inspiration: When I’m reading through blogs or cookbooks, it’s usually my style to bookmark a recipe that I love, then proceed to leave it there in my “to-make” queue for abou...
Inspiration: A few months back I made the most amazing discovery when cooking some scrambled eggs. Apparently cream cheese has the power to turn ordinary scrambled eggs into the most addicting, aweso...
Inspiration: Brandon has been bugging me for years to cook more Chinese food. We both love Chinese, but for whatever reason, I just don’t tend to cook much Chinese-inspired food at home. I thin...
Inspiration: Often times, one of my biggest inspirations in the kitchen is random ingredients that I have on hand that need to be used. During Mardi Gras time a few weeks back, I made a pot of smoked...
Inspiration: Like so many other people, I think, we have been having a really fantastic winter. If there’s one thing that I’m not, it’s a fan of winter/snow/cold/etc. etc., but this...
Inspiration: Eggs are awesome. I’ve been eating scrambled eggs or omelets for lunch several times a week lately, and I’m planning to whip up some hard-boiled eggs to have around for break...
Inspiration: I’ve been trying to perfect a really great lower carb/no sugar meatloaf for over a year now. One of the things that I love about cooking is that there is so much room for experimen...
Inspiration: I made this dish with Brandon in mind. He still talks about a smoked salmon spread that we had a few years ago as an appetizer one time at a fancy restaurant, so I thought I’d try ...
Inspiration: One can never have too many easy weeknight suppers, right? The bonus with this one (and really with many dishes that have pan sauces) is that it looks so nice and elegant, too. I really ...
Inspiration: This recipe came to us via Dayna, one of our blog readers (thanks again, Dayna!). As soon as I read the ingredient list and saw that the soup included cream cheese, I was completely sold...
Inspiration: This recipe has been on our table in one form or another for years, and over the last few months, I’ve finally perfected a lower-carb version that we really, really love. This is t...
Inspiration: This is one of those recipes that I’ve been making for years (I think we’ve made it as part of Brandon’s family’s Christmas Eve supper for the past three years no...
Inspiration: My parents have this favorite cozy little Mexican restaurant called El Salto that they often take us to that has the most amazing Mexican food. We’ve been there countless times, an...
Inspiration: So now that the holidays are over (happy new year, everyone!) and our schedule is calming back down again, I’ve really been in the mood to get back into the kitchen and cook some h...
Inspiration: The minute that I saw these on What’s Gaby Cooking, I knew that I’d be whipping up a batch for the Christmas get-together that my family has with all of my siblings each year...
Many of the best memories over the course of my life involve sharing good food and drinks with the people that I love. And when it comes to the holidays, there’s just nothing quite as heartwarm...
Inspiration: Well, what’s a Mexican-inspired meal without some chorizo, right? We both adore Mexican chorizo. It’s salty, it’s spicy, it’s rich and fabulous. And seeing how br...
Inspiration: I have to confess that I’m kind of lazy when it comes to salsas. I know. For as much as we love Mexican, Southwestern, and Tex-Mex food (and since those are my favorite kinds of fo...
Inspiration: This recipe was somewhat of a means to an end for me. I tried it out simply because I wanted to make some cranberry salsa to include on our Mexican-inspired Thanksgiving plates, and to m...
Inspiration: Every year on Thanksgiving, Brandon and I visit our families and share in a couple of fabulous meals prepared by my Mom and by his Mom and Grandma. We’re a couple of lucky, lucky p...
Inspiration: Brandon and I love picadillo, particularly this recipe, which is a staple in our house. But one of the things that I love so much about cooking is that there are as many versions of reci...
