Eat This, Drink That: Bourbon Ball Cupcakes and Lillies For Fillies
As is customary come April here on Zelda & Scout (and in our lives in general), we have entered full-on Derby mode. Now we’ve already visited the two biggest culinary traditions of Derby (aka juleps and pie) on the blog, but there are still plenty of thematic treats left to share with you! On the…

March Round Up
Oh March, you topsy turvy month of lions and lambs, sunshine and snow, steaming hot lattes and iced coffee on the rocks, you really took us for a roller coaster ride. We’ve been busy of late — with work, with friends, with life — and your ups and downs left us feeling discombobulated at times,…

Eat This, Drink That: Benedictine and Bee’s Knees
The weather has finally warmed up here in the city, and we are SO EXCITED. Accordingly, for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, we decided to fully embrace the impending blooming season and cook up some food and drink to refresh and renew us with the flavors of spring. On the food side, we’re running…

February Round Up
February may be the shortest month, but it managed to cram a whole lot into its 29 days (Happy Leap Year!). The weather flip-flopped from balmy spring to frigid winter and back again. Scout left one job and started another (her first real, honest-to-god, 9-to-5 gig — having weekends off is crazy, guys). Zelda upped…

Eat This, Drink That: Angel Food Cake and French 75
Most of Scout’s food-based memories come from one of her grandmothers. So when choosing something to make for this month’s Eat This, Drink That, she looked back on all those memories, running from the car as they pulled up to the old A-frame cabin on the lake and sprinting into the long narrow kitchen to find…

Eat This Drink That: Fried Chicken, Rosemary Gimlets, and a Special Guest!
This month, we bring you a very special “Eat This, Drink That.” Normally, we pick a theme for the month’s post, find an appropriate recipe, and then muddle through as best we can, with Google as our sous chef. But this month, we brought in the professionals for a real schooling in one of the…

Eat This, Drink That: Pulled Pork & Hot Toddies
This month’s installment of Eat This, Drink That was a bit of a doozy for Scout. While she’s not a frequent cook, she’s pretty good at following recipes when the occasion arises. But when it comes to preparing meat, most recipes expect you to have some previous experience in the matter, which she does not.…

Eat This, Drink That: Applepalooza
Fall is upon us! As we’ve said before, it is absolutely our favorite quarter of the year. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and apples are ripe for the harvesting. Zelda recently took a trip out of the city to pick some of said apples, and so we decided it was only appropriate…

Eat This, Drink That: Cobbler and Old Fashioneds
Our lives have been increasingly busy as of late. Zelda is settling into a new home with new roommates and a new commute. Scout is settling into a new (additional) job and juggling three side projects. So we have to schedule our lives pretty far in advance, including our Eat This, Drink That cooking ventures.…

Eat This, Drink That: White Chili and an Alabama Blizzard
As we approach the one-year mark of this here blog, we’ve challenged ourselves more and more. Zelda’s hard at work on her 15 New Things, and Scout’s attempting to conquer the kitchen. This is the love child of those two quests, a little series we call, Eat This, Drink That! Last time, armed with a recipe from Zelda’s mother,…
