I’ve been anxiously waiting to write up and share this recipe for this Mediterranean Pasta Bowl for months! You see, the plan was to feature my home grown zucchini from my very first, almost-legit, garden that I planted this year. Of course the home grown organic zucchini’s were going to be the star of […]
Hello Lemon Asparagus Spaghetti Squash! You are light yet satisfying and are ushering me into the world of fresh spring and summer recipes! Thanks in part to the sun actually deciding to come out of hiding this week in Portland!! It is truly a miracle since both Portland and Seattle have had a record breaking […]
We had an epic snow day week in Portland recently. From a city that sees mostly rain (we’re basically Seattle’s hippy cousin) 12 inches of snow was a big deal! Businesses close, kids don’t go to school and parents with school aged kiddos go a bit crazy. So I’m told…But not us, because when you […]
Sometimes, I just want a big bowl of comforting pasta. And I mean a HUGE bowl of pasta and nothing else. No healthy salad to go with it, no veggie, no fruit. Just pasta, and maybe some bread….and I will enjoy every massive carbohydrate bite! Because, it’s comforting, and sometimes “adulting” is hard and well, […]
Good things always come in bowls. Like a bowl of ice cream and Lucky Charms and Cesear salad. Pretty much all of my current pregnancy cravings… All foods that I love and either can’t have or shouldn’t have. So what’s a girl to do? Make a dish that fulfills my sweet and savory craving that […]
While I adore and am passionate about eating whole foods and nourishing my body, there is a side of me that is also a pizza and beer kinda gal. Take me to a pub, give me an iced cold Blue Moon and a cheesy pizza with a football game on and I’m one happy girl! Then […]
There’s a little back story behind this delicious Tortellini Minestrone Soup. You see, I grew up in a wheat field about 25 miles south of Spokane Washington. Whenever we had errands to run such as grocery shopping, banking, Target runs, Dentist etc. we called it, “going to town.” Yes, it’s true, we called it that. […]
I’m convinced that any dish with pesto in it is incredible! In my world, pesto trump’s all other sauces. I mean, how many sauces do you know can have the starring role in multiple, completely different recipes? How many sauces do you know require little time to make, freeze incredibly well, and can be found […]
Brussel sprouts loving me is in full force these days! I don’t know what it is, but I have been swooning over these miniature looking cabbages as of late. (Yes, food nerd here.) This is quite the statement to say since, 10, 15, and even 20 year old me would go nowhere near brussels […]
This Rosemary Cream Mushroom Pasta recipe is for the mushroom lovers. Cue the choir, “hallelujah!” To the mushroom haters, sorry I promise to offer non-mushroom dishes in the future. My husband is one of those mushroom haters. He claims it’s because he went to school next to a mushroom farm. He really did. I guess […]
