Dave and Kristin (brother and sister) grew up in a family that loves food - and wine - and spends much of their quality time enjoying both.

We love to innovate in the kitchen together, creating new recipes or trying new challenges (like making homemade pasta). Dave is moving away to grad school so we're starting this blog as a way to virtually cook together and share our love of food with others that share our passion. Please share your favorite recipes, enjoy ours, and bon appetit!

Relatively Late

Well if I dont post this now, it will end up being an entire year without a single post. Pathetic. Plus I can't give Tosh the satisfaction.

So I am kicking off a flurry of posts with this:

Ricotta Pancakes with Lemon (or Passionfruit) Curd



These are not your normal pancakes from the box. That really goes unsaid on this blog. I dont know, Kristin do we use things from boxes often?

Super light and fluffy with the creamy taste of ricotta holding up the sweetness of the fresh lemon curd -- the powdered sugar really only acts as a garnish. I tried out some Passionfruit Curd from Thrusday Cottage and it gives it a lighter sweeter taste than the fresh lemon curd. BTW, fresh lemon curd is ridiculously easy to make. Try pairing these bad boys on a hungover sunday morning with a little French 75.

Check out Serious Eats for the recipes.
