With how much talk we all do reminiscing of past culinary couples dinners, it's not surprising our newest members, Kim & AJ, decided to take us back to revisit our past recipes.

For this Culinary Couples, each couple could pick any past recipe from the blog, however, the twist was that it would be a Remix of the old one - this time around made dairy-free!

Many things in our world are black and white - zebras, pandas, piano keys, dice, classic Converse, the list goes on and on.... but have you ever eaten an entirely black and white meal?

MJ and Ryan put us up to the challenge this March with a Black & White Culinary Couples theme.  Challenge accepted!

It's summer in Tucson again.  The sun is up early, and so are we, working hard to make a living.  But when that sun sets, we are hungry and thirsty, and ready to fine dine, country style, back home on the range!

This fall Culinary Couples will share in the magic of Harry Potter at Ryan & MJ's - see you there!

March is a wonderful month in Tucson - spring weather is already starting whereas the rest of the country is still covered in snow.  Of course there is St. Patrick's Day, and if you are from Tucson you know you are watching the Wildcats play in March Madness, but I bet you didn't know that...

Wahoo!  Join us at Heather & Eric's for all the Peanuts you can eat!

Feeling a little fancy this February?  Well Katie & Denis have the answer for you!  Let's get our feast on while strutting our fashion sense as we dine in style with Fancy Pants!

I remember growing up one of my favorite memories was having waffles in the evening.  I mean, really, what more can you ask for (other than ice cream for breakfast maybe!!?!)

'Tis the season to be merry!

It's September, and although it doesn't feel like fall yet in the Arizona desert, school is back in session and that means it's tailgate season!  And if it wasn't hot enough already, this NFL Sunday, the rematch of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks is sure to bring the heat! 

Join Culinary Couples on the Smirnov's field for a good old-fashioned tailgate!

This August let's take a Mediterranean Cruise!  Join us for cocktails as we board Her Wild Majesty in Barcelona.  We will then make our way to Nice to enjoy some nice appetizers!  We will dock at Appian Way in Rome for our Italian feast.  And last, but not least, a dessert fit for the Gods as we end our travels in Athens, Greece!

The weather forecast is hot and hot so bring your suits to take a dip in the cooling waters of the Mediterranean.  Hope to "sea" you there!!!
