When we were considering whether to renovate, I remembered that Adrianna at A Cozy Kitchen had a great experience partnering with KitchenAid, and reached out with all fingers crossed to see if KitchenAid might be interested in collaborating here, too. Imagine my delight when the team said yes! It’s been one of my dream brands for such a long time, ...
snacks
buttered eggs on toast with radish & parsley
Ever since I found their story a few years ago, I've been awed by Sonja and Alex's journey to parenthood. Sonja's poignant, thoughtful words and their constant light throughout their experience have been humbling and inspiring; it gives a whole new perspective to this stage of life that B2 and I have been figuring out our way around lately, and ...
fig, goat cheese, & honey biscuits
Evidently, or so I'm told, it's less than a month until a third little bowl is headed our way. What! It doesn't feel like it. From time to time I catch myself assuming that this is just how life is going to be from now on, having a watermelon for a belly, the mysterious inability to ever feel cold, and a maximum waddling velocity of a couple yards ...
easy, crispy oven fries + some news
One of the things I like most about this little space is how easy it's always been to come here and tell you (or, at the very least, future me) about all the things that have been happening in the world of the two red bowls, even if most weeks it's literally nothing but the same old, same old, plus a recipe for cake. So it was really and truly ...
whole wheat milk bread & little sliders
Here are the two things I made for the first time this month: (1) a copycat delivery pizza (I am nothing if not classy, also, in case you were wondering, making chain delivery pizza instead of ordering it was as gratuitous as you would expect but also as delicious) and (2) 100% whole wheat bread. I'm going to go ahead and say one balances out the ...
spicy salmon onigiri
I'm pretty sure you don't really need a recipe to know how to make these little snacks, which are as simple as they are delicious and are nothing more than rice and lightly dressed salmon wrapped up snug in seaweed. But I'm also convinced that there can never be enough words said about those really easy but wonderful things that are magically more ...
curry puffs
This week we've been reveling in finally getting around to all the things that had fallen by the wayside in the last month or so. B2 led the charge on some direly needed spring cleaning, from finally unpacking our bags from LA right down to dusting everything in sight and wiping down the ceiling fan (which I would never have remembered to do?!), ...
roasted cauliflower & chickpeas on toast
I never thought late-night office Seamless would prove to be as inspiring as it has (and, all right, a lot of the time it's a little far from it), but I don't think I would have ever come across this revelatory Sicilian cauliflower and chickpea dish if it wasn't for a Seamless order on a random work night last winter, placed while hunting for ...
apple pie hotteok
We're scheduled to fly back to Hawaii in a little less than a month, and an email has already landed in our inboxes from my adorable mother-in-law, asking whether we want galbi or spicy ahi poke when we land. (It actually came through like, two weeks ago.) B2's mom is my favorite for all kinds of reasons, but I love this about her -- every time we ...
baked yeast doughnuts with hibiscus glaze
The first time I had a Dough doughnut was at a little sun-drenched picnic about a year ago. Linda graced us with a floppy box brimming with gems from this shop I'd previously never heard of (I live under a rock) and they looked glorious -- plump and squashy, stacked two levels deep on sticky wax paper and cloaked in crackly, dripping glazes of all ...
