Quick Update and a Guest Post!

Hi Everyone! Sorry we’ve been gone for so long, Eric’s non-food related work has been picking up and Charisse is in the middle of launching her own cake company (Frost Cake Designs by Charisse) so the kitchen hasn’t had enough love from us. We’re kind of waiting around to see whats going to happen but [...]

Caramel Apple Tart

A few months ago we received an apple peeler machine as a gift and Eric immediately started playing with it. Its a little bulky and has lots of sharp moving parts so we don’t usually leave it out, but last weekend our neighbor dropped off a whole bushel of apples (okay, maybe a big paper [...]

Fried Green Tomatoes

Eric does not like tomatoes. It’s a fact that we’ve documented quite a few times. On the other hand, Eric loves fried things so we combined the two just to see how he fared, and he liked it! Granted a decent helping of “shut up and eat this” helped, but we definitely had a winner [...]

Pumpkin Soup

Charisse loves the fall. By loves the fall we mean talks about how she can’t wait for fall starting around April. This shouldn’t be confused with her love for Christmas, something she starts waiting for around Dec. 26. But to start this fall season off we came across this recipe and it might just be [...]

Charisse gets a new closet!

Sorry we’ve been a little hard to find since we got back from Jackson Hole, its been full time house renovations since then. We finished off the second bedroom and started working on our master bedroom. First up, spending Friday night with a hammer: Click image for video! Charisse enjoyed that part. A week with [...]

Turkey Muffins

You read the title right: Turkey + Muffin. Or in this case Down home country biscuit. When Eric and Charisse were still dating, she put this together after hearing about it somewhere, somehow from some thing and it’s become one of those amazing treats that gets pulled out from time to time. How amazing? Eric’s [...]

Down Home Country Biscuits

There’s just something… delicious about a good country biscuit that makes pretty much everybody smile. Could be the crumbly texture, or the way it just absorbs butter or the fact that you can use them in so many ways. We’re not sure exactly what it is, but we go pretty nuts for a good biscuit and this [...]

Elk and Buffalo Steaks

So we’re here in Jackson Hole Wyoming with Eric’s company for the anual Smugmug company trip. We’ve been enjoying the local flavor and wondering what to do for the blog while we’re here. Eric wanted to go hunting and cook up something he brought home, but $2,000 is a lot for a steak so we [...]

foodies@jackson hole

We’re in Jackson Hole WY right now, cooking up some Elk and Bison steaks, Country Biscuits and home grown corn on the cob. We’ll put up some pictures and recipes tomorrow, till then here’s a video of Eric going down the Alpine Slide at the Snow King Resort. Alpine Slide Video

Honey Pie

With our three year anniversary coming up next week we’ve been running around getting the house cleaned and polished (as well as can be, given the renovations we’re doing) for our big anniversary trip to Jackson Hole! Wide open spaces, campfire cooked food, wild animals frolicking about a log cabin and some antelope roaming pretty [...]
