delicious seasonal eats
I’ve been making Cornbread Sausage Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans, and Dried Cranberries for nine years. Every. single. year. Without fail. Always for Thanksgiving and sometimes for Christmas too. Okay, and really, sometimes I make it during the summer just because I can and twice a year doesn’t seem like enough. Also, I need to mention, […]
A few years ago I wrote a Mashed Potatoes 101 guide. I pride myself on making fabulous mashed potatoes. I really do. Last year I mastered what I (then) called the perfect mashed potatoes thanks to a tip from one of my favorite local chefs. And now I have mastered Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes with […]
This weekend, the weather changed. Saturday was as lovely as could be and Sunday…it snowed. It’s been snowing for weeks in the mountains, but we had snow in the valley. I even turned the heat on for the first time since the spring. It’s for real. Winter is on its way. As much as I […]
I went to New York for a week in September and when I came back, summer had all but disappeared and autumn was here. And now it’s been autumn for weeks and weeks and it’s actually already snowed here! We’re heading into the last few days of October and I’m wondering how my favorite month […]
The other day a dear friend came over to my apartment to spend the morning with me. She was interested in seeing how I work – the creative process of developing a recipe through styling and photographing. The way I work is a bit scattered and improvisational at times and I certainly gave her a […]
My husband and I shared this Loaded Raw Kale Salad yesterday for lunch. You guys, my life changed the day I first had a raw kale salad. I don’t remember the exact salad, but I remember thinking, “Oh, okay. I can do raw kale. It’s good.” It was like I could finally be a bona […]
I was in the Seattle area last week visiting with family. It was so wonderful to have a little break from the hectic summer. We moved in July. (Moving is such a nightmare!) Between that and traveling, I haven’t done as much cooking as I would have liked. It’s been nice to settle in some […]
After I took the pictures, I pretty much ate the entire platter of this Strawberry, Fennel and Arugula Salad with Cacao Nibs by myself. And as much as I want to feel sorry about that, I kinda don’t. This is yet another in a series of many clean-out-the-fridge salads. I love those because they are […]
Blueberry, Cucumber, Basil Salad with Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette sounds interesting right? Here’s how this salad came to be. :) My little garden has started producing. That is to say, my container garden. The in-the-ground garden has some catching up to do. I fell in love with cucumbers last summer, so I made sure to plant […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the gorgeous Copper River Salmon we enjoyed for dinner on Sunday night. The color of the salmon is stunning! As red and beautiful as can be. Just as salmon should be. Our family was introduced to Copper River Salmon last year when I was part of […]
