Happy New Year! This was a special breakfast for New Years Day and the day after our one year anniversary! Good ol steak and eggs with a homemade hollandaise sauce. It takes a lot of steps but they are pretty easy and the whole thing was a bit quicker and easier than I thought.

It has been a tradition for many years to make rogies on Christmas. My mom has a recipe that has been passed down to her through family for years. This is a typical eastern European/Pittsburgh dish that I wanted to fully learn and record. It is a lot of work to make them if you make everything from scratch like we did but there are some corners that could be cut. Either way, they are a great comfort and holiday food that can be eaten at anytime too.
I’ve always liked cod and this was a quick and easy preparation. It was a good winter dish also. Cod is not the cheapest cut, but is pretty reasonable and really tasty and flaky when cooked well.
This was a good indoor winter dish that sort of reminds me of summer a bit. It was doable on a weekday in about 2 hours and well worth it. The meat was soft and flavorful and didn’t need a lot of attention to make.

Sharing our tree with the world. I am a big fan of real trees and we went and got ours and set it up shortly after Thanksgiving. For those of you that don’t know, I absolutely love Christmas! And early happy holidays!

We sometimes get requests from our loyal readers for certain recipes and one we recently received was for chicken tortilla soup. This worked out perfectly because I happen to be a huge fan of tortilla soup and I have never made it before. So, I happily took on this challenge and made it on a very cold Sunday afternoon.
We were making some finger foods for guests and while dumplings are not the typical “finger food” they were a good munchie to have out. We kept it pretty simple with pork, ginger, and green onion. We tried a few different cooking types as can be seen above before deciding on the best.
I had some leftover great northern beans in my pantry from when I made the chicken chili. I have made hummus with edamame before, so why not make it with the white beans? I remember reading a post for white bean hummus on How Sweet It Is a while back and decided to check it out. Jessica’s addition of roasted garlic seemed brilliant so I followed her recipe. The only change I made was adding lemon juice at the end.
Depending on how long you’ve been following us this may look familiar. I posted this recipe almost a year ago in one of our first posts ever. Since our style has changed a bit since then and I never even showed a picture of it in the bowl, I figured I’d go ahead and share this with you again, or for the first time.

This is a recipe from our friend Mary (aka Murrs) that has always been a big hit. We tweaked it a bit and it was a big hit again because everyone loves buffalo and blue cheese!
