Peach Buttermilk Bread Pudding. Could there be a more perfect comfort food? I think not. It is nearly impossible to compete with my husband’s very favorite bread pudding, but this comes pretty close. Bread pudding has always been one of his favorites. Every so often I make something that’s just for him. We are working […]
Greek-Style Veggie Pizza
Oh, man. I am really on a pizza kick lately. This Greek-Style Veggie Pizza is one that I really enjoyed making and eating. It’s so full of flavor it will knock you over! Basically it’s a Greek salad on top of a pizza crust. Can that ever be a bad thing? I think not. Let’s […]
Ratatouille Pizza (Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free)
We love Ratatouille in any shape or form. Lately it’s been in pizza form. And as with the original, it’s delicious! This is the third time I’ve made it and it never seems to get old. Ratatouille Pizza is just a fancy way of saying vegetable pizza, I suppose. I leave off the tomato sauce […]
Honey-Balsamic Roasted Fig Salad
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 […]
Almond Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Oh….hello. Just me with another summer ice cream recipe to ruin your diet. This Almond Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream combines three of our favorite flavors in one creamy, decadent ice cream. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with my family. Local cherries are on right now and they are as delicious as […]
Coconut Lentil Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger
I want to marry this Coconut Lentil Soup with Lemongrass and Ginger. Sigh. It’s so incredible. I remember the first time I had Tom Kha Gai, or Thai Coconut Chicken Soup. I could not get enough of it. The combination of flavors was utter perfection. I was making it at home several times a week […]
Strawberry, Fennel and Arugula Salad with Cacao Nibs
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 […]
Thyme Aioli
It’s July. It’s hot outside and I don’t really know why, but this time of year has me craving oven fries with aioli. This Thyme Aioli sure hit the spot. I actually hate store-bought mayonnaise. Like a lot. If it’s homemade with lots of garlic, I’m in. Otherwise, keep it far away from me. There […]
Blueberry, Cucumber, Basil Salad with Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette
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 […]
Salmon with Thai Pineapple-Cucumber Salad
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 […]
