Grilled Maple-Chili Salmon

From mid-November through January, we rarely use our grill. We’re completely content snuggled up inside with both the fireplace and air conditioner going, huddled around mugs of homemade cocoa and big one-bowl meals of carbs, cream, fat, cheese, more cream, and more carbs.

Shrimp, Black Bean, and Grilled Corn Pizza

It’s Mexican night, yet we very likely joined frat houses and bachelors across the country by having pizza and guacamole for dinner. It was as awesome as it sounds. But not as ordinary.

With work (and let’s face it, probably some luck), we hope to avoid The Picky Toddler horror stories we’ve read about and witnessed. So far, we’ve been lucky. She [...]

Caramelized Scallops with White Wine

The Foodie Groom loves scallops. Like, loves. Similar to my love for all things chocolate + peanut butter. But times 14. I waited quietly while he was flipping through our shiny new copy of Big Bowl of Love, waiting on him to get to the scallops recipe I had seen earlier. Big juicy scallops, caramelized, [...]
