I recently had my kitchen remodeled from a 1950’s nightmare (it was all in a delightful mint color – floors, cabinets, trim) to a lovely and highly functional modern kitchen; all this is to say that I now love spending time in the kitchen trying new things! Recently I was at someone’s home who served…

A little Mexican
This is Cath (a.k.a Mom), First, let me say that the recipe for Sweet Potato, Poblano Black Bean Enchiladas was very, very well written and easy to follow! Kathryne breaks the ingredient list and instructions into three well-labeled sections: Roasted Veggies, Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce, and Enchiladas. This recipe was a three-pager (which included the…
We’re back……….!!!!!
This is Cath (a.k.a Mom) It has been a long time since the two of us have written anything for the blog, and to be honest, I think that is my fault. I got too involved in work and home renovation projects – but the good news is we are back, with a new name…
Baked Feta Pasta (Two Ways)
This is Chelsea (a.k.a the cute one) Summer is in full swing here in Southern California, and I have been hard at work trying to grow veggies in a container garden. After my epic failure last year, (the only thing I grew successfully was basil), I was very excited to give it another go this…
Venturing into Bread Baking
This is Chelsea (a.k.a the cute one) This winter, my boyfriend and I have gotten into bread baking. He loves sourdough and bought us a starter culture in the fall. Since then, he has gotten pretty good at making sourdough bread (it’s not quite sour yet, but he’s getting there). When I went home to…
Challenge #6 Pumpkins Galore!!
This is Chelsea (a.k.a the cute one) Since moving to California, I’ve greatly missed Midwest falls, so this year I decided to celebrate the season by participating in some traditional fall activates. Last year was my first time making pumpkin puree out of a fresh pumpkin, and I was looking forward to trying again this…
Challenge #5: Chickpea Stew
This is Chelsea (a.k.a the cute one) It was my turn to pick this week’s recipe, and I wanted to make something that celebrated the beginning of fall. Now where I live in southern California, it doesn’t feel much different than summer, but I’m a midwestern girl at heart and felt the urge to embrace…
Challenge #4 Stuffed Cabbage
This is Cath (a.k.a. Mom) True confession: I was the one to suggest Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, but for the life of me, I can’t tell you why. They have never been my favorite thing, and since I no longer eat beef, I could not imagine how a vegetarian, weight watcher version of this classic winter…
Challenge #3 – Brussels Sprouts Pasta
This is Chelsea (a.k.a the cute one) As I was scrolling through Instagram this week, I came across a post for One Pot Creamy Garlic Brussels Sprouts Pasta, and couldn’t resist; I had to try it! Since moving to California, I’ve discovered my love for brussels sprouts and have had fun experimenting with all the different…
Challenge #2 – Corn Chowder
This is Cath (a.k.a Mom) I chose Summer Corn Soup for our second challenge mainly because I stumbled upon the recipe in the Weight Watcher recipe base and because I thought it would be easy for Chelsea to turn into or find a vegan recipe (she wasn’t as kind with her choice for next week’s…
