Spreading love, positivity, & community — one bite at a time.
One thing that we love to eat are scallops. However, scallops are often outside of our budget when we eat at restaurants. Last year we ate scallops at Here’s Looking At You to celebrate our anniversary, and this year we cooked some at home! If we eat it next anniversary it’s probably safe to say... Continue Reading →
Sinigang is a tamarind stew originating from the Philipppines. It's sour and savory, and it's such an amazing comfort food that even our non-Filipino friends love it. All you really need is the tamarind soup base, and you can basically throw in any ingredients you have in the fridge. We recommend sticking to a combination... Continue Reading →
My grandma taught me how to cook this soy sauce & vinegar-braised chicken, and it’s helped me survive college as well as helped me feed large groups of guests. She grew up in the region of Pampanga, where she said they always ate banana slices with their adobo. You’ll see adobo made in numerous variations with... Continue Reading →

It was a night full of simply enjoying each other's... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you wanna get all dressed up and go out to Nobu, and other days you feel like wearing sweatpants, watching Netflix, and eating Ralph's sushi at home. We opted for the best of both worlds - eating a full course sashimi meal while we lounge on our couch. Play some Odesza (especially if you... Continue Reading →
It finally happened. We got a slow cooker. With our ever-increasing laundry list of activities eating up our free time, we wanted to find more quick and easy ways to meal prep (vs. spending a couple hours cooking each night or eating out). Enter the slow cooker - a genius invention that allows you to... Continue Reading →
In college, one of Elijah's go-to recipes he would make when pressed for time (read: lazy af) was Simple Spaghetti rice. This meal uses just a few ingredients along with some pantry staples, making it the perfect weeknight dinner. Even though this dish has very little active prep time, it never fails to be deliciously... Continue Reading →
