As longtime readers may know, we’re well-versed in the language of sweet (the proof is in the puddin’: look here, here and here). So when MI-DEL contacted us about teaming up for a product giveaway, our pantry (and our mouths) opened wide. Yes, we would love to try MI-DEL’s line of gluten-free goodies! Yes, we would love to try our hand at baking something delicious with some MI-DEL cookies! Our recipe would be over the top. It would be amazing.

Listen up local folks! If you haven’t been to an event where Gerard’s Paella is front & center (a Sonoma County local’s wedding, for example, or The Great Handcar Regatta), then you might not be quite as excited as us to learn that Relish Culinary Adventures in Healdsburg, Calif. has snagged him for a couple of paella cooking classes over the next couple of months. This weekend’s May 27 class is sold out, but act early for the upcoming June class to make sure you get a spot! The deets are these:

One of The Lab’s male counterparts recently made a request for carrot cake. We’re not gonna lie: Gluten free baking can be an undertaking when working from scratch and sometimes even we want to just whip something up on the fly. So we searched for a quick and easy carrot cake online and found one on the Gluten Free Goddess‘s blog. We did not change anything in Karina’s original recipe beyond omitting raisins and coconut from the batter, and rather than making her coconut icing we topped it with a basic, barely-sweet cream cheese frosting. Then we ate if for dessert. And breakfast. And lunch. It’s got veggies in it! It’s healthy right?!

Remember waffle weekends, when, as kids, our moms would pull out that monster of a kitchen appliance, the waffle iron, whip up some batter, and then we’d all wait with bated breath as the waffle iron worked its magic? Once on our plate, we’d fill each sunken square with a balanced ratio of butter, syrup, powdered sugar, yogurt, fruit (or all of the above), thus making a grid of perfect bites. So satisfying.

Last night’s dinner was a real winner, and, as per usual for our simple weeknight dinners, we found it via epicurious.com by clicking on the “fast dinners” quick link. Since this recipe for Chicken Gabriella calls for not much more than chicken, onions, herbs and wine (hey! we’ve got all that!) it was a no-brainer. And going by that photo above? It almost looks more delicious in its uncooked state (left)! All those onions, hunks of bone-in chicken and rosemary needles worked themselves into a right tasty mess (right), which, in our opinion, needed some oven-browned potato coins to help soak up the herby broth. Both recipes are below for your easy weeknight dining pleasure!

Kelp noodles, huh?
Before you dawg us and declare us hopeless California hippies, imagine this: a noodle that is cool & refreshing, crispy like a mouthful of sprouts and neutral in flavor. It could very easily be an alternative noodle in your run-of-the-mill Vietnamese Bún, or it could just be a member of the supporting cast in soups and stir frys.
