Back in culinary school (which seems like ages at this point) I remember making gyros, which was quite an interesting process for those of you who know what I’m talking about (let’s just say there’s a lot of fat involved). This version is much, much leaner but still possesses the same flavor. The hummus and … Beef Gyros with Cucumber Tahini Yogurt Sauce
My Grandma Heringhausen was one of a kind. She was beautiful inside and out, and whenever people ask me where I first learned to cook, I tell them from her (and my mom, of course).

No matter what time of year I make flank steak, it always reminds me of summer. This cut of meat soaks up marinades beautifully, leaving you with a flavorful, caramelized steak once it hits the grill. The fresh herb chimichurri adds an extra layer of freshness. Overall, it’s a dish that’s not only good for … Marinated Flank Steak with Fresh Herb and Almond Chimichurri Sauce
I must admit that I rarely ever use my slow cooker, but lately I’m realizing how amazing it can be to use it during our busy work week.

If there is one food that Josh and I love snacking on it’s olives.
