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 […]
Quinoa Buckwheat Salad with Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers and Fresh Mozarella
This salad is the love child of tabbouleh and caprese salad. All of the greatness comes together for a rockin’ salad that is as healthy as it is delicious and will have you going back for seconds and thirds. My friend Amy was in town and in my evil plans to monopolize her whole day, […]
Garden Veggie Stir-Fry with Orange Miso Vinaigrette
Here’s a quick veggie stir-fry recipe that came together in around 30 minutes, including my chopping time.

Grilled Lamb Patties and 14 Hands Wine

Gorgonzola Stuffed Burgers with Caramelized Onions and Balsamic Drizzle
If my husband hadn’t already proposed to me 10 years ago (I said yes), he probably would have proposed on the spot after eating this burger. For reals. This is that kind of burger, friends. We’ll be celebrating Independence Day in the U.S. next week and I bet if you put this on your menu […]
Kale, Potato, Navy Bean Hash with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cress
We’ve been super busy this week and I haven’t had a lot of time to cook as much as I’d have liked. We’ve been relying on quick meals. This is one recipe I made for lunch today, in fact, that came together in about 20 minutes including chopping. It uses leftover baked potatoes, but fresh […]
Salmon Nicoise Salad with Carrot and Yogurt Sauce
I was at Whole Foods in Downtown Salt Lake City last week, and guess what I saw? A big ol’ sign announcing they had Copper River Salmon. They had a big, beautiful fillet in the case that the guy at the counter told me it go very quickly. I told him I already had some […]
Sockeye Salmon with Sauteed Spring Veggies and Leafy Greens
Post edit 06/05/2012–Doh! I meant that this was Sockeye, not King. King is coming later and I cannot wait! I’m so happy to tell you about the Copper River Salmon I received on Friday. I joined the 2012 Copper River Salmon Fresh Catch Crew.So, here I am in Utah, really far from the ocean and […]
