Quick and easy recipes for the busy home cook
Scott and I are in a forever war against clutter in our house, so we really try hard to not bring back more stuff from our trips. A while ago, we established the "one thing" rule for travel, where we would save up our pennies and spend time looking for the "one thing" that would [...]
It's amazing how many different things in this world fall under the term "dumpling." I spent about a decade with the Army living in and traveling the Pacific, which meant that dumplings were pot-stickers and gyoza and not the chicken-and-dumplings drop biscuit variety of dumplings I'm getting used to in Virginia. But pretty much every [...]
I've got a ton of work to do before the holidays hit, so what better time to go do a little food exploring? The Food Exploring series is a way to revisit adventures I've been on around the world that have opened my eyes, inspired me to think in different ways, and often left a [...]
I'm out all week at the Association of the U.S. Army annual event for work, so what better time to go do a little food exploring? The Food Exploring series is a way to revisit adventures I've been on around the world that have opened my eyes, inspired me to think in different ways, and [...]
I've lived by the sea most of my life. Despite all the moves - fifteen moves in the last eighteen years - I've always been within an easy stone's throw of an ocean or two. And the ocean always seemed to deliver the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises. I never imagined how magical a sunrise [...]
We often think about the kind of thing we'd be doing if we weren't working at our day jobs. For me, almost all the time, it's photography. Or food. Or taking pictures of food. The best of both worlds, you know? But my friends reading this can probably attest to the fact that if I'm [...]
There's not much I love than gathering a bunch of people around a table and sharing good food and fellowship together. We've got space for ten - maybe fourteen if we squish - at our table, and when I get around to revamping our island, we'll have another four or so bar stools there for [...]
Scott and I like to celebrate the weekend with friends and try new recipes with a big hearty Sunday Supper. It's a fun chance to catch up, gather around our giant table, and enjoy some good food together. And since I was just in Kentucky earlier this month, with Bourbon and oak and hickory smoke [...]
If I love anything about Kentucky, it's how linked its traditions - Kentucky bourbon and champion thoroughbred horses - are to the land itself. Neither could happen without the rich rolling hills Kentucky sits on. Because those hills are rich with limestone and natural upwelling springs. The limestone naturally filters the water and enriches it [...]
Don't let the title throw you - we're not taking you back to an either deliberate or ironic take on your high school prom. We're really taking you under the sea for today's adventure and to kick off this month's iteration of Food Exploring! Because when you're touring through the Bahamas and there's so much [...]
