Weekly Dinner Recap #1
Over the last few years I've realized that there are several recipes that Steve and I love to make but we forget about them for months or even years at a time. So I figured, if I'm trying to get better about blogging in general it'll be an easy blog post to recap our weekly dinners and an even ... View Post

Fesenjan – Persian Chicken Stew
So, amongst all the new build craziness, I occasionally find time to cook new things. I tried this recipe a few months ago, fell in love with it, and then promptly forgot all about it…it's been a busy few months!
