Welcome

Two Scoops of Dinner is where we will be recording all of our kitchen adventures. We cook a lot, making meals from scratch whenever possible.

Our cooking is heavily influenced by our travels around the world. In 2013, we spent almost half a year traveling through Spain, Poland, Italy, Croatia, and the Philippines. In 2014, we spent a month in Brazil and Argentina. We've also visited Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, and New Zealand together.

We also find inspiration in fresh, California-style cooking. Living in Southern California, we have access to some of the world's best produce. Spinach arrives in our markets the same day that it was picked. Avocados are large, ripe, and unbruised due to the short travel distances.

If you try any of our recipes, please let us know in the comments what you would do to improve a particular recipe's taste or cooking times. Your comments help others who come across the same recipe.

Join us as we discover new tastes and combinations of ingredients. Not every dish will be perfect, but that's part of the fun. Enjoy, and happy eating!
