Recipe for Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette
Meyer lemons are the hybrid of mandarin oranges and true lemons. Also, they are my favorite citrus fruit. I look forward to these sweet lemons all year long and buy them almost by the bushel. They make the best lemon curd ice cream. Really good (and slightly extravagant) lemonade. And the base for my favorite […]
Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Desserts
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 […]

Butternut Squash Soup with Apples and Fresh Sage
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Greek Yogurt Panna Cotta with Raspberry-White Wine Syrup
If creme brulee is at the top of my list of favorite desserts, it’s a close second between ice cream and panna cotta. What’s not to love about panna cotta? It’s smooth and cool, silky on the tongue. You can flavor it with just about anything. You can serve it plain or with any kind […]
Honey-Balsamic Roasted Peach Sorbet
You guys. Remember that awesome vinaigrette I made a few months ago? And then there was the bottle of pickled strawberries? It’s the white balsamic vinegar. It’s my latest love affair. I love white balsamic vinegar with fruit. And I can’t help myself. We picked up a bushel of peaches on Saturday afternoon. The first […]
July 4th BBQ Ideas
I’m so last-minute when it comes to holiday planning. My kids are super excited for the 4th of July this year. They know it means swimming with the cousins, tasty food and fireworks. (We are a family of certified pyrotechicians, so fireworks are usually extra special.) But I haven’t really thought much about what to […]
Peach-Rose Water Sorbet
Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
