Photography: Finding Beauty In The World Around You
Last week I was fortunate to be able to attend Evo ’12, a fabulous blog conference founded by two of the best ladies I know, Jyl Pattee and Rachael Herrscher. More on that in the days to come. One of my favorite parts of the conference was the hands-on photography workshop with Tracey Clark of […]
Julia Child’s Floating Islands Recipe
Other kids would be playing outside during summer vacation, and I did that too, but mostly I would spend the afternoons watching cooking shows on PBS. I paid attention and learned about new foods with names I’d never heard of. I would experiment here and there with some basics I had learned, but it wasn’t […]
Roasted Tomato Salsa
I love me some salsa. And I really love me some of this salsa. I’ve already made it twice in one week. The chips are optional, by the way. A spoonful (or ten) will hit the spot. I had some grocery store tomatoes ripening on my counter. (I know, I know, I know. Grocery store […]
Quick Pickled Strawberries
After eating lunch at Finca in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the pickled strawberries I had on my salad. I decided to try making some quick pickled strawberries at home. Instead of using whole spices, I used fresh rosemary (thank you, Christie) and a vanilla bean. These are addictive, […]
Caldo Verde (Portuguese Kale Soup)
When Fred (my husband) and I were first dating, he mentioned something called Caldo Verde. (Note that in Portuguese, which is his native language, the -de sounds like -gee.) I had no clue what he was talking about. Then he described it to me. Still nothing. After we got married, he made it once or […]
Provolone Grilled Cheese with Tomato and Arugula-Oregano Pesto
Sometimes I say to myself, “Really? You’re going to post this on your blog? Something people don’t really need a recipe for?” And I say answer, “Yes. I am. Because you never know. And it’s really, really tasty. And look how pretty it is!” So here’s a recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich. :) My […]
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 […]
Buckwheat-Amaranth Porridge with Strawberries and Coconut
My little strawberry patch is bringing forth tiny, juicy little berries once again. I’ve been juicing so much for breakfast, that I’ve almost forgotten what a warm, comforting porridge can do for me–fill my belly and bring a smile to my face. I haven’t splurged on gluten-free oats yet. I’ve been using up my stores […]
