The mornings and evenings are cool […]
Quick Fruit Salad with Basil and Creme Anglaise
Summer is coming to a close. All I really want to do is sit down and eat the rest of the summer peaches and strawberries drowning in a sweet custard sauce white I watch the leaves change on the trees in the front yard and my kids soak up the warm afternoons with their friends. […]
Belgian Endive Ham Au Gratin
I love autumn so much. I think that’s the sentiment of everyone right now. This year I almost wasn’t ready to let summer go, but now the leaves have turned. The air has a definite chill in it. We started sleeping with the down comforter plus an extra blanket a few nights ago. This afternoon I’ll […]
Interview With Vijay Nathan of Noshon.it
I saw a few tweets back and forth between @noshonit and my good friend @ohsweetbasil (aka Carrian) and I made a mental note to check out Noshon.it and see what it was all about. Then I saw an e-mail from Vijay, the founder of Noshon.it, asking if I would be interested in being featured. (I […]
Brandied Apple Pie
Fall is here! My very favorite time of year. I’m teaming up with my amazing friend Becky again. This time we’re cooking with apples. Perfect for fall. Be sure to check out her Apple, Bacon, Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich. (YUM.) And for mine…Brandied Apple Pie. My mom has always been a really good cook. She could make anything, it seemed. […]
Gluten-Free Ratatouille Pasta
You’ve probably seen the movie, but have you ever made ratatouille? The first time I made it, I had just started my 10 day juice fast and it was very difficult not to eat some. My girls even loved the little cubes of eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers with the fresh tomatoes and loads […]
Grilled Cedar Planked Coho Salmon with Lime-Chili Butter
My last shipment of fresh Copper River Salmon arrived on the last day of August. It was bittersweet. I was so happy for more of the best salmon we’ve ever had in our lives. (Not an exaggeration.) But it also marks the end of salmon season. So you better hurry out and get some while […]
Nectarine, Fennel, Arugula Salad with Ricotta Salata, Red Onion and Honey Wine Vinaigrette
Every once in awhile you meet a salad and you think, “This is my very favorite.” Then you come across another salad and the same thing happens. Well, friends, this salad is the salad that ended that for me. This is my very, very favorite salad. I’m ready to say my vows and pledge my […]
Recipe and Tips For The Best Shepherd’s Pie
When school started back in the middle of August (!), I waited to feel the change in the air. In Utah, you can definitely feel a change in the air as the season change. A morning might be cool in the summer, but you know it’s still going to be blazing hot in a few […]
Tomato Zucchini Bisque with Pistou
Caputo’s Market provided the Gruyere for use in this recipe. I always go there when I’m looking for high-quality cheeses to use in my cooking. This was my first attempt at creating deceptively delicious food for my kids. And you know what? It totally worked. They didn’t even suspect that the zucchini they claim […]
