Mary’s Holiday Gift Granola

Mary’s Holiday Gift Granola

Like all great recipes, the granola we enjoyed at Mary’s in Lake Havasu City has evolved over the years. I loved it so much I persuaded Mary to give me the recipe to share (and to make when we finally have a real kitchen). The 

Camping Recipe: Olive Bar Puttanesca

Camping Recipe: Olive Bar Puttanesca

“I have an idea,” Lisa said. She was about to blow my mind. “Let’s make a puttanesca sauce with olives and ingredients from the olive bar at the grocery store. We could add artichoke hearts. Maybe they have caper-stuffed olives.” Damn genius. Here’s what we 

Eating Our Way Through Phoenix

Eating Our Way Through Phoenix

Phoenix was delicious. Well, the greater-Phoenix sprawlopolis was delicious. The metropolitan area feels endless when you’re stuck in it (Safeway, Walgreens, McDonald’s, rinse, repeat). We ended up at a bunch of great places. Here’s where we went and what you should try. Los Taquitos Tacos 

Big Breakfast: Eggs with Chorizo, Toasted Tortillas, and Cilantro

Big Breakfast: Eggs with Chorizo, Toasted Tortillas, and Cilantro

We had left-over chorizo after making tacos one night, so I feasted on a  bigger-than-normal breakfast a few days after. First, I toasted the tortillas on the Coleman stove and gave them a little char. Then I cooked the chorizo. When it was nearly finished

St. Elmo’s Bar in Bisbee was a lucky score, and our luck continued in Tucson at The Buffet Bar and Crock Pot thanks to Kelly Lewis, a free copy of Zocolo Magazine, and the Oro Valley Library.  Here’s how it went down: We’d been going to the

Sonoran / Mexican Hot Dogs in Tucson at El Guero Canelo

Chicago hot dog, I have and will always love you. We fell in love in Chicago nearly a decade ago, and I feasted on your tastiness in Bisbee, Arizona, where they import Vienna Beef hot dogs and poppy-seed buns. You are delicious and yummy and wonderful. 

Cooking Without A Kitchen

Cooking Without A Kitchen

We had hoped to create and share some amazing campstove recipes with you, but so far we’re having a tough time cooking anything but the most basic food. Don’t worry, Moms, we are eating, but it’s the kind of food we made in college – 

Eating and Drinking in Bisbee, Arizona

Eating and Drinking in Bisbee, Arizona

So we’ve been to one Arizona town, and we’re ready to move in. Bisbee is great. It’s home to my new favorite bar, St. Elmo’s on Brewery Gulch, and it’s home to a lot of other great restaurants and bars too. Here’s where we went and 

El Update de Comida Mexicana

El Update de Comida Mexicana

We’re fans of Mexican food. We tried to find good tacos in Burlington, Vermont. We loved eating Mexican food in Chicago. Now we’re in New Mexico and searching for more. First thoughts: the Mexican fast food available here is so, so much better than Taco

Poochie Wants Pumpkin | Dispatches From Terre Haute, IN

Ultra-local papers are the best. They are a window into the soul of a town and its residents. This dispatch comes from The Weekly Crust of Terre Haute, IN. We grabbed a copy while eating at Wise Pies Pizza & Subs (it’s their paper).   Rocky

Spicy Snot Wings at Red Rock Saloon, Milwaukee

We’re at Red Rock Saloon in Milwaukee with our friends Archibald and Bunny and two other friends (names have been changed to protect the innocent). Archibald and Bunny like spicy food.  They like it so much that they grew habanero peppers this summer and have 

A Madison Weekend

A Madison Weekend

We’ve started, but it still doesn’t feel like we’ve started. Crashing with family and friends isn’t exactly roughing it – especially when they entertain you as well as Chris and Sarah entertained us this past weekend in Madison, WI. We’ve been to Madison quite a
