The hubby and I have taken a liking to a local stir fry place over the course of the past year, but eating out a lot can get expensive pretty quickly. I got a stove-friendly wok from Nana, so I decided that now was as good a time as any to break it out and

Pizza is one of those foods that we order out so often, the art of making it at home is often overlooked. It’s not terribly difficult, it’s super customizable, and it is WAY cheaper than ordering delivery (and less greasy). Longtime readers might remember my Greek pizza recipe from… geez, three years ago… but that was

Chili? In summer?? Oh yeah, I went there. Even if you live somewhere hot, in my opinion, there’s never a wrong time of year for chili. This one even features a fresh summer vegetable — zucchini! The best thing about this recipe is that it’s another slow cooker feature, so you can set it and

Here’s something that’s a little more involved than the usual burger, here on Apartment Eats. The Fiancé and I had a couple of friends over, and we decided we wanted some Asian-inspired grill food, so we put our heads together, got a bit creative, and this was the end result. The burgers turned out to

This recipe makes slightly ironic use of another recipe of mine, Gourmet Vegan All-Purpose Seasoning. While tilapia obviously isn’t vegan, this seasoning makes for a great crust/rub on this otherwise bland fish. What’s even better is that this recipe works great in a cast iron skillet. Intimidated by your skillet? Don’t be! Just reference the guide

Sometimes, though, you need to add something new to your repertoire. That’s where this turmeric millk comes in. It’s a sweet, spiced, hot milk drink that

The Fiancé and I have very different definitions of green chili, thanks to our mothers. My mom’s is green and served as a standalone dish. His mom’s is red and served burrito-style. Both are delicious. While I’m not sure at what point in marriage I gain the rite of passage that is learning my mother-in-law’s

Putting Swiss Miss to shame, Mexican hot chocolate is the perfect blend of chocolate and spice, making it the perfect drink for a cold winter’s

As you may have noticed, I’ve developed a recent interest in marinades. They’re a neat way to flavor your meat of choice while often adding an element of moisture and tenderness you otherwise wouldn’t get. Salmon is especially awesome to marinate, since it’s already an exceptionally flavorful canvas (kind of like a good steak). Another
