Crispy Baked Brussel Sprouts

Well I can report that a 5 ½ hour road trip with two kids under 18 months is do-able! And an act of pure willpower. Nick and I ventured up the coast this weekend to celebrate a family engagement – an event we knew we didn’t want to miss – so we packed up the…

When I first started sipcookenjoy, I had major aspirations.

Hawaiian-Style Slaw

In true Nick and Casey fashion, we are back in Hawaii and milking it for as long as humanly possible. We finnagled the ability to work remotely for a few weeks, sweet talked grandpa into letting us use up his visitor days, begged friends to watch our beloved cat, and booked last minute flights, leading…

Healthier Homemade Hummus

I’ll admit I go in phases when it comes to hummus. Some months I am ravenous for it, others it never crosses my mind. Growing up I was all about that Sabra Red Bell Pepper Hummus, so creamy, so salty, so addictive. But now that I am older and am way more conscious of the…
