It’s always roast chicken at the Reiser’s! We have roast chicken almost every week, and with just two of us, there’s a lot of leftover roast chicken! I’m not the biggest fan of leftovers, if I’m being honest. First, I ate a lot of them growing up. Second, it’s just never the same the next […]
Cacio e Pepe Turned Up!
As many people know, Andrew and I spend a lot of time working from home. Working from home is wonderful – I love it, but sometimes lunch can get a little boring. It’s all too easy to grab a slice of deli meat, a piece of cheese and an apple and head back to our […]
Happy New Year!
Hello dedicated THC fans! I know it’s been a while, but we both want to wish you all a very Happy New Year! 2019 was an interesting year for Andrew and I; we both had some big life changes not only as a couple, but also individually. Between work and changes to our family outlook, […]
Classic Roast Chicken – A Sunday Night Staple!
Anyone who knows us well knows – it’s always roast chicken at the Reiser’s – especially on Sunday night! There is something just so hearty and calming about roast chicken dinner before a busy work week. As many people know, both Andrew and I travel almost every week, so these past few years, a hot […]
Home Again Cookies
Hellllooooo! I’m so sorry it’s been so long, I’ve been traveling like crazy these past few months. With finally a break at home, there is NOTHING more I wanted than hot cookies, fresh from the oven. These cookies don’t disappoint – they will have you going back to the cooking rack again, and again, and […]
Party Planning 101: “Retirement” Cocktail Party
As many of you know, we’re very excited that later this week, Sous Chef Andrew will be “Retiring” from teaching and taking a new job in corporate America. To celebrate his impressive tenure as a Social Studies Teacher at Westside High School (which includes winning teacher of the year), I knew I had to throw […]
Potato and Leek Soup (With Bacon)
There are few things more comforting and more delicious than a steaming hot bowl of homemade soup. We were at the farmers market and they had the most wonderful red new potatoes; combined with feeling a little under the weather, look no further than homemade potato soup! My grandmother always made potato soup, and always […]
Boeuf Bourguignon
It’s okay – before we proceed say it out loud a few times like Julia Child would “beoufff bourguignon!” There, now that we got that out of the way, you can read the whole post in her voice. Better yet, talk like her the entire time you make this recipe which is what I do! […]
Pappa al Pomodoro
I’m not sure there is anything that reminds me of Tuscany more than Pappa al Pomodoro! The first time I had it, Andrew and I were on our honeymoon in July 2014, and I remember it like it was yesterday; we were sitting on the patio at La Grotta, in Montepulciano in the heart of […]
