“I’m afraid to ask. What kind of hand did you grow?” Ok, this episode isn’t great. It does have a dramatic ending, which is what used as inspiration for this week’s recipe. Focusing on Scully’s friend’s cello recital, we thought canapés would be fun to make considering the venue. We Read more
“Can’t you accept the possibility that this isn’t an X-File?” The climax of this episode involves Scully telling her captor, Jack Willis (…or Warren Dupre, possessing Jack Willis…) a story from their past about ice fishing at the Pine Barrens. We fixated on that story and have come up with Read more
“The Addams Family finds religion.” This episode asks the pressing question, what if the Amish are actually aliens? Though “Gender Bender” is set in Massachusetts, we both felt it invoked Amish country in Pennsylvania. And so we’ve decided to make this vegetarian Chick’n Pot Pie, based on a Pennsylvania Dutch Read more
We absolutely love our recipe for Smoky Vegetarian Corn Chowder. However, wanted to challenge ourselves to make a vegan version that doesn’t just rely on processed vegan cheese. So, this smoky vegan corn chowder uses silken tofu, nutritional yeast and white miso paste to build a cheese-free, but cheesy flavored Read more
“Dinner was delicious, as usual.” Scully’s dad seems like a real meat and potatoes guy. If you’re looking for a vegan lentil loaf that replicates the flavor, texture and appearance of meat, this isn’t that. But it is delicious. Inspired by Scully’s family, this vegan lentil loaf is the kind Read more

“You can’t fight fire with fire”. For this episode, we’ve decided to create a dish that invokes a Boston hotel that has been set on fire. We hope that Agent Mulder could enjoy this smoky vegetarian corn chowder and reminisce about the time he bravely overcame his paralyzing fear of Read more
“Mmmmm. Tastes syrupy.” Eve is one of the great Season 1 X-Files episodes. The creepy, murderous twins and the government backed cloning experiment are really memorable. This episode is also notable as the inspiration for the name of ’90s band, Eve 6, so because of this Eve 6 connection, we’ve Read more
I didn’t order room service. This episode features everything you think of when you hear the phrase The X-Files: UFOs, extraterrestrials, government coverups, highly classified lies and the “enigmatic Dr. Scully”. While this is a classic X-Files episode, we didn’t find much culinary inspiration, so we turned to the episode’s Read more
“Do you know a good place to eat in Albuquerque?” Kayla thought we should make a face cake in honor of the face on Mars, but we settled on a vegetarian Spicy Southwest Sheet Pan Gnocchi instead. Like the episode Space itself, we were aiming for a budget entry. Production Read more
