We don’t get out much. This year we managed an overnight to NYC where we were for a total of about ten hours before we had to head home. We also did take a trip to South Carolina where we actually got an entire weekend in. That is rare though as most of the year […]

Cilantro Lime Popcorn
Ever since we started making popcorn on the stovetop I have been addicted. I wait for Friday night when my kids say “it’s movie night, right?” because movie night at our house means popcorn. Popcorn on the stovetop is so much better than microwave popcorn and really takes no extra time or effort. After a […]
Watermelon Mojitos
We are wine drinkers, and, unless we are out (ha ha ha because really, when do we go out these days?!), we don’t usually have cocktails. Despite being quite excited for fall to arrive, even we are hanging on to those last few days of summer. One way to do that was to make cocktails […]
Peruvian Lima Beans with Citrus Sauce
We have been married for nearly five years but have been together for seven. When we first started dating we were on a road trip in New Brunswick, Canada and had each packed some foods to take along. Not knowing each other very well, one of us packed a bean salad consisting of all sorts […]
Cornish Game Hens with Lime & Mint Sauce
One of our favorite parts about summer is utilizing all the herbs in our raised beds. We don’t have a huge backyard (or as one of us would say, garden), but we love the space we have, and have managed to get four raised beds and a patio out of it and made it such […]
Sophisticated Snacking…Spring Chickpeas with Chili & Lime

Not only are the staff extremely helpful, but so many of the items in the produce department have short blurbs suggesting cooking tips […]
Lime Chili Chicken with Salad Leaves
It has been so unseasonably warm here that we wanted to make a lighter dish for lunch. This is a great way to flavor chicken and it is great hot or cold. If you like a little more heat then don’t remove the chili seeds! So with spring in the air, here is a delicious […]
Rice Paper Wraps with Lime Soy Dipping Sauce
We have had a few requests for gluten free dinners. This is another of our favorites. A few streets down from us there is a wonderful Asian Market. We find all sorts of culinary treasures there and last night one of the items in our basket was rice paper wraps, which we can’t always find at […]
