I Am... 2 Ingredient Creamy Herby Garlicky Pasta

October 5, 2019 • 12 comments • Posted in: boursin, cheese, easy, pasta, penne, quarantine cooking

It’s carb-loading season, my most favorite of all the seasons! When the weather starts to turn chilly, you know it’s time to light those candles, grab those bowls, and eat those noods. I’m not sure why I don’t eat pasta out of a bowl more often. When I was in high school, I feel like I ate primarily out of bowls. But then, as I got older I started eating on plates more? Still there’s something so so comforting about a bowl of pasta: cradling it in your hands, sitting on the couch, a huge Netflix queue lined up. Yes, I’m still watching, stop it with your judging Netflix!

I Am... 24 Hours in Aspen and Camping at Maroon Bells

September 28, 2019 • Leave a comment • Posted in: 24 hours, aspen, colorado, travel, usa, what to see, where to eat, where to stay

Last summer Mike and I drove through Colorado, making a quick stop at Maroon Bells, one of the most photographed areas in all of the world – at least according to the Colorado tourism board. Not sure if that is true or not, but we lucked out and happened to get one of the very last camping spots right in the park, near the edge of the river. It was a perfect one night camp stop: being in the park meant that it would be easy enough to head up in the morning to watch sunrise over the famous peaks and close enough to Aspen that we spent the afternoon eating.

I Am... Friday Finds: 9.27.19

September 27, 2019 • 2 comments • Posted in: friday finds, link love

Yay! It’s Fall! It’s been getting chillier where we are, but the days are still lovely and warm, the way fall should be. I’m all about the cozy sweaters and crispy cool nights and eating more food to get a little more fluffy to stay warm during the winter. Maybe not the last one, but man oh man, is it hard to stick to my keto diet here in Montreal. I literally at an entire slice of kouign amann and it was so full of butter that it was practically oozing out. I didn’t regret one bite, it was SO good.

I Am... The Cutest Roundest Pancake Balls You’ll Ever Make and Eat: Danish Aebleskiver

September 26, 2019 • 10 comments • Posted in: aebleskiver, breakfast, brunch, pancakes

I am currently obsessed with all things ball-shaped. Ever since I pulled out our takoyaki pan from the highest shelf, I’ve been convinced that I need to use it more and more. It takes a lot of effort to put it back – usually it’s buried behind a bunch of things – so I’m going to enjoy it while I can. If you have a takoyaki pan, you might be wondering, what can I make in a takoyaki pan? The answer is: EVERYTHING!

Now that the weather is starting to turn just the tiniest bit chilly, it’s time for soup! There’s nothing quite like a cozy bowl of soup to warm you up from the cold, especially if there are noodles in it.

Happy Friday! How is it the third week of September already?! Is it me, or does time pass by more quickly the older you get? Mike and I talk about this all the time: when you’re a kid the summer seems endless. Now, it passes by in the blink of an eye. But, I’m excited anyway because it’s almost officially fall! Time for ALL the cozy things. Especially cozying up and drinking pumpkin spice lattes and spending the afternoon reading mildly interesting things on the internet.

I Am... Easy Weeknight Bacon and Egg Stir Fry Lo Mein

September 18, 2019 • 4 comments • Posted in: bacon, eggs, lo mein, noodles, soy sauce, spaghetti

If I were someone who could eat everything without consequence, I would definitely be living my best life. A lot of the times, the in-depth serious conversations Mike and I have are about food. Like, what would you eat if you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life? Mike always has well thought out answers, but I’m always waffling between 30 different choices, then I get extra confused because I start thinking about waffles and how many types of different waffle variations there are out there and basically it’s an endless loop of food obsessive thoughts.

I Am... 7 Low Carb Keto Friendly Recipes for Your Next Tailgate Party

September 16, 2019 • Leave a comment • Posted in: keto, low-carb, snacks, tailgating

It’s tailgating season! Which means tailgating parties, which means SNACKS! Although, who am I really kidding? I have no idea what the heck tailgating season is. I know it has something to do with football and the fall and I absolutely love fall and I’m in deep with snacks, so I’m all for the tailgating. Really, what I end up doing is just making a bunch of snacks and calling it a tailgate even if there’s no sports involved. Sacrilegious I know, but how could anyone be upset if there are snacks involved?

I Am... Hatch Green Chile Wonton Two Ways

September 14, 2019 • 2 comments • Posted in: cheese, deep-fry, green chile, hatch chile, hatch green chile, summer, wonton

This is the last of our Hatch green posts for this year, not because we’ve eaten all of our Hatch, but just because maybe kind of there’s too much green chile on the blog?! Anyway, when we were driving through New Mexico a couple of months ago, Mike kept seeing places that had green chile chicken wonton. We didn’t stop into any of those places, but ever since then, green chile wonton have been on my mind.

Ever since we bought a 25 pound box of green chile, we’ve been eating green chile everything. Well, let me be a little more honest...Mike’s been eating green chile everything and I’ve just been regretting the fact that I decided that we should get a box of hot instead of a box of mild. Let me tell you, hot hatch chile are are forking hot.
