Still a few more weeks until another school year begins. We are getting in every last bit of summer while we can! Our family adores going on picnics together. Sometimes they are thrown together at the last minute, and sometimes they are well-planned to the last detail. Having recently moved to a new city, we are excited to start checking out all of the wonderful parks in our area plus venturing out into the foothills […]
This post is brought to you by Pamela’s Products. We made it to Boise almost four weeks ago. It’s been a whirlwind romance! I can’t believe it’s already been a month, but at the same time it’s like we’ve been here forever. You know that feeling when you love something so much and it’s the right fit, and it feel like life was always this way? It’s kind of like that. We absolutely LOVE living […]

As I’ve spent the last few months cooking with Barramundi, I’ve seen just how versatile it really is. I love that it is sustainably farmed using revolutionary aquaculture practices. I’ve used Barramundi in several different ways, using flavors of different cuisines from around the globe. All of them have been delicious. A few weeks ago I shared a recipe for Barramundi Rice Bowls and Barramundi Coconut Curry Soup – both delicious! We’ve used it in several other […]
This recipe was developed in partnership with Red Star Yeast who is sponsoring this post. Thank you for supporting our sponsors so we can bring you high-quality content. Last fall I first started experimenting with making yeasted gluten free rolls at home. I have really loved delving into gluten free baking and the experimentation process. It has yielded some great results after many attempts to get it just right. It’s difficult to get the texture […]
This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting our sponsors so we can bring you great content and recipes. If you remember from last month, we’ve been trying out Barramundi, a farm-raised, sustainable white fish from Vietnam. We are still in love with it! When I was at the store the other day, I stocked up on a bunch more. I love that my kids enjoy eating fish with us. Barramundi is high in Omega-3 fatty […]
Let’s talk about wilted salads. Do you like them or hate them? Does it depend on the leafy green you use? I love wilted salads–just barely cooking the greens with a quick stint in a hot pan or with a warm vinaigrette, or in this case, both. I made my foray into cooking with leafy greens using chard. I knew I needed to start eating them and from the recommendation of others I knew chard […]
Shirley J asked me to develop three recipes using their new Cranberry Almond Timeless Grains Cereal. I’ve had a lot of fun testing out my ideas and coming up with three great recipes. These Cranberry Almond Pie Bars are my third recipe. They took the longest for me to perfect and I feel like celebrating because I finally got it right! They are really wonderful. I kept a platter on the kitchen table and I […]
Have you seen lasagna made with ravioli? I know it’s been around for a long time, but I only recently saw it and thought it was brilliant. As you know, I’ve been participating in a recipe challenge using Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Kraft Fresh Takes. I thought the Fresh Takes and frozen ravioli would the perfect match way to make a quicker version of my husband’s favorite butternut squash lasagna. I sauteed leeks and baby […]
