Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. Just too inconsistent, really. It was [...]
The egg-stravagnza is continuing, and just in time for your weekend! Of course, when you think of eggs, you think breakfast. They’re filling enough to eat as a meal, and also pair well with plenty of different ingredients and flavors. That’s why I turn to omelets for breakfast (well, actually for lunch [...]
The Big Flavors are not big meal planners. I mean we do have ideas around what we want to eat for dinner during the week, but we don’t list it out by each day and then plan our shopping trip around the list. We probably should do this, and I’m actually a bit surprised [...]

We all have our preferences on whether enchilada sauce should be red or green. The Big Flavors are definitely fans of the latter. Mexican night in our house means whipping up [...]
So, even though we get a ton of seasonal vegetables through our weekly CSA share, Mr. Big Flavors still thought it was appropriate to buy even more fresh produce at the local farmers market. Needless to say our refrigerator is currently overflowing with seasonal ingredients. He came home with eggplant, broccoli, both a purple and orange head [...]
Don’t you just love taking a random day off from work? Especially when you bump it up against a three day weekend, and you accomplish all of your life responsibilities on the first three days? So, on this day you actually have nothing planned and there’s no specific timeline you have to follow. You can just hang out [...]
