The next few weeks on Recipe Sunday are going to be all about simplicity. We're in full swing with our weddings this year, so the Casa de Youngren machine is running at full speed ahead, and everything we do around here has to be simple. No bottlenecks or...
I'm finally going for it... I'm gonna try to be like Martha. I'll admit that even though I love my Martha Stewart Living magazines like they are little messages sent from the everything-cute-and-stylish-and-yummy-gods, sometimes the folks behind the recipe section...
In my heart of hearts, I wish I was a chef. Not professionally, but I wish I was one of those people that could whip up a masterpiece dinner with nothing but a chicken breast, some olive oil, and a rusty stove. But I'm not. I'm not one of those people that have...
I had never eaten Thai food before I went to Thailand, and I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if the flavors were spicy or cheesy or if they used noodles or rice or pasta or tortillas. Really, its completely sad how little I knew. I had heard about this...
Welcome back to the kitchen and the second installment of Khmer cooking with The Youngrens. I hope you enjoyed the trip to the Cambodian market yesterday, smells and everything! Last week, we featured Jeff's appetizer of Khmer Spring Rolls, so this week its my turn...
Last week, I featured the spring rolls that Jeff and I made at our cooking class in Cambodia for Recipe Sunday, but that was only one of five dishes that we made during the whole afternoon class, and that doesn’t include the best part of the whole experience – a...
Its BAAAAA-AAAACK! After a *brief* hiatus, Recipe Sunday is back in full swing here on the bloggy blog, and I've got such a crazy assortment of recipes in the bag. You may have heard through Twitter and Facebook that Jeff and I took cooking classes on our trips to...
It was one of those magical bathtub finds. I sat curled up in our tiny bathtub underneath a mountain of vanilla scented bubbles, my hair was pulled back, a glass of wine sat at my fingertips, and I ripped page after page out of my favorite magazines for...
Bread and pies. That's my job. As you've heard, I am in charge of those two things at every holiday dinner with my family - baking the pies and making the rolls. While pies weren't as tough to get the hang of, the bread part took a little bit more time to master....
Yesterday, we featured the engagement session of Chelsea and Ryan, but not only did Chels and Ryan bring their beautiful selves from Chicago, but Ryan brought the mother of all french toast recipes with him. When he first described what goes into this...
Happy Sunday morning everyone! Yesterday was a day of rest for Casa de Youngren, evidenced by the fact that I didn't get out of my pj's until 7:00pm. And even then, I only changed into my fancy sweats... It was wonderful to catch up on sleep, e-mails, blog reading,...
