Mummy Dogs
Yesterday Sarah shared a recipe for mummy jalapeño poppers. Consider those your appetizer, because today I’m serving up the main “dish”… well at least your 5yo will consider this a bootiful dish.
Mummy Jalapeno Poppers
First, homemade Jalapeno Poppers, hells yeah! Second, little mummy lookin’ cuties?! YES! Threaten me with food that follows a holiday theme and I’m in, especially when cooking with friends, it just makes everything so much more enjoyable. Kimi and I cook together on the regular, but usually it’s some type of main meal, not cute, perfect for a halloween party, Mummy Jalapeno Poppers. This is exactly how it went down.. Continue reading

Soooo. Just in case you didn’t get my hint yesterday, I’m shouting it from the rooftops today. Use your homemade coffee liqueur to make white Russians.

DIY Coffee Liqueur
Coffee is our ingredient of the season, and we’re slowly building up an archive of our favorite coffee recipes!
Today we’re sharing a super simple (and relatively quick) DIY coffee liqueur. For reference, Kahlua is a coffee liqueur. Our recipe is *like* Kahlua, but with the added benefit that you get to completely customize your formula, from the coffee flavor to the sweetness level.
Espresso Martini
Coffee is our ingredient of the season, and we’re slowly building up an archive of our favorite coffee recipes!
Feeling a bit thirsty? We have just the thing to take the edge off of your Thursday afternoon Sunday brunch. The Espresso Martini.
Admittedly, I had never heard of this delicious concoction until watching the latest season of Great British Bakeoff. When the lovely Kate mentioned this drink, I was all ears.
Affogato
Coffee is our ingredient of the season. You can find our favorite cold-brewed coffee here. But if you’re in a rush, try this instant hit. If you’re looking for dinner, how about this chili?
Today we have the simplest of desserts to share with you.
Slowcooker Chili (with coffee!)
Coffee is our ingredient of the season. You can find our favorite cold-brewed coffee here. But if you’re in a rush, try this instant hit.
When choosing coffee as our featured ingredient, I knew that I wanted to use it in a few ways that were outside of my comfort zone. And using it in today’s chili recipe is definitely one of those examples! 
I love a good savory chili, but I was worried that the addition of coffee would add a bitter and unpleasant taste. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case and this dish turned out to be a delicious (and easy) dish! Continue reading
Instant Coffee Frappe
Coffee is our ingredient of the season. You can find our favorite cold-brew formula here. And here’s a list of Sarah’s favorite coffee shops in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philly.
Back in May we went on camping road trip. If you’re interested, here’s info about our visit to Canyonlands, our visit to the Grand Tetons, and camping on BLM land. Back in July I told you about our big camp kitchen snafu during the road trip. The one where we forgot the stove!
In that post, I described how we adjusted our menus so that we were still able to camp and eat well. Without easily accessible hot water, priority #1 was figuring out coffee. We made Nescaffe Frappes. And I may have said that “knowing this recipe is up there with knowing how to escape a grizzly bear attack or how to cut off your arm in an avalanche. Life or death.”
You probably read that and freaked. Then you started stressing about how you’ll get caught in an avalanche because you couldn’t cut the grizzly off of your arm. And the bear only attacked because you were SLOW-AS-F on your hike because of the POUNDing caffeine headache because SOMEONE forgot the camp stove. F*ck.
Ingredient of the Season : Coffee
Every season we like to pick one ingredient and find a variety of ways to love it and use it. You can find our complete ingredient archive here.
I’m sitting here with just a drop left of my morning cuppa joe, and I’m so excited to announce that coffee is our fall 2018 Ingredient of the Season. We are coffee lovers. We love the ritual of a morning cup of coffee, especially when someone else starts the brew and we wake up to the aroma wafting into our bedrooms. We love the flavor of coffee, and we’re always excited to try new beans, brewing methods, and (of course) ice creams ;-). But above all, we love that it’s a drink shared by many cultures, often bringing people together to over communal moment of rest and conversation.
Making coffee our Ingredient of the Season encourages us to learn more about the biology, cultural importance, and many uses of this bean, and we’re excited to share those experiences. Throughout the season we’ll talk about a variety of brewing methods. But beyond drinking, I’m also excited to use coffee in my crafting, cooking, baking, and liqueur making!
