Cabbage-Wrapped Steak

December 28, 2012January 7, 2014by Brent Schrader2 Comments

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hanging out with The Domestic Man and his family as they did some cooking, and we brought along our Orange-Cranberry Bread, which continues to be a great hit. During the cooking escapades, we also did some work on computers, played with our cameras, and needed a snack. Russ had some steak out defrosted, so we decided to fire up the grill and make something quick and easy as finger food. We also had a head of cabbage, so here’s what we came up with.

Bacon & Caper Topped Scallops

December 19, 2012January 21, 2014by Brent Schrader5 Comments

After spending the day with The Domestic Man a couple of weeks ago, he inspired me with his talk of seared scallops. With a photo result and the idea of delicious scallops and bacon in my mind, I went to town on a version of my own. We had purchased capers for another recipe, and I have always loved how they paired with salmon and salads.

Orange-Cranberry Bread

December 12, 2012December 27, 2016by Heather Schrader24 Comments

We had quite a few fresh cranberries leftover from Thanksgiving. I searched our cookbooks and the web for inspiration–trying my best to avoid the typical muffins, breads, and other sweets. I know, that sounds a little silly; but seriously, the holidays are so full of baked goodies, I wanted to make something different. Alas, my efforts to make craisins failed miserably, and the cranberry sauces and baked goods recipes abound.

Memphis Dry Rub Ribs

December 5, 2012July 21, 2015by Brent Schrader5 Comments

Ribs are one of my favorite things to cook and eat; I remember in middle school having the whole rack of baby bbq ribs at a restaurant on Broadway across the street from my grandmother’s apartment. My parents used to point out Jerry Stiller and Anne Merea (Ben Stiller’s parents, who happened to go there often) when we’d both happen to be there at the same time. I would take down the ribs and a chocolate moose, and I looked like a movie extra from Heavyweights.

Our 2012 Paleo Thanksgiving

November 25, 2012November 8, 2013by Brent SchraderLeave a comment

We had a full house this Thanksgiving. Brent’s mom, Kathy, did an amazing job decorating the table for us.

Hey everyone!

We hope you’ve enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving and are recovering from the food comas with rest and relaxation this weekend. 😉 Having successfully hosted our first Thanksgiving, I (Heather) am feeling a bit sentimental.

Over the years, holidays have little by little lost their sparkle for me. Maybe it started when I realized Santa Claus did not exist. It was probably furthered by the bratty spell of teenage-hood, years during which I found myself fighting with my mom about everything. And in my early adult years, fewer and fewer of the holidays have been spent gathering the family in one house, simply for logistical reasons: my parents live in Wisconsin and we (their five daughters, four of whom are now married and three of whom have children) have lived far apart in different parts of the country–one as far as California for a few years.
