delicious seasonal eats
Three days until Turkey Day! I’m hosting my husband’s family this year. They don’t know it yet, but I’m doing a gluten-free menu. I think they’ll love it. I’ve been experimenting with my recipes to get everything just right. The one thing I haven’t decided on yet is dessert. My mother-in-law is bringing a big […]
I promised you recipes for Thanksgiving and I’m going to make good on that promise! First up, a tasty Kale, Dried Porcini and Pine Nut Stuffing recipe that I think you’ll love. I started saving bread for stuffing months ago. I don’t like to use fluffy white or faux-wheat bread that come in long, square […]
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail asking if I would like to create a holiday recipe for the Nov/December 2012 issue of Utah Valley Magazine. I would be teaming up with a few other foodies in Utah County to create a holiday menu. It was a lot of fun to see our different […]

Over the weekend I ended up making a huge batch of rolls for my family–bigger than I meant to. I realized I’d added double the yeast I needed to. My brain was on other things and you know, it happens. So there I was with too much dough. I weighed out 2 pounds of dough […]
In just a few days my husband and I will celebrate our 10th anniversary. When I was deciding what to serve at our reception, I loved the idea of having a simple soup and salad for our guests. We didn’t have a gigantic wedding. It was very small and simple. I wanted our menu to […]
I was excited to receive Black Forest squash in my CSA this week. It’s not one that I have tried, as far as I know. And it’s delicious! Being the same size as a small pumpkin, I thought it would be perfect for stuffing. I made winter squash stuffed with quinoa, kale, and pecans. Are […]
Awhile back a friend of mine told me that thyme was a great natural remedy for coughs and colds. I made this Honey Thyme Homemade Cough Syrup to reap the benefits of both honey and thyme in fighting off germs and helping to relieve those uncomfortable symptoms of colds. Health Benefits of Honey and Thyme […]
Becky and I are teaming up again. For October, our theme was Soups, Stews, and Chili. Check out her Red Wok Chili. I can’t wait to try it. I’m a girl who likes soup and salad. I like all kinds of soup and all kinds of salad. With Fall arriving, I’ve been excited to start […]
