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 […]
May I introduce to you, the Best Dark Chocolate Brownie! After months of taste testing, this version of my dark chocolate recipe totally deserves its title as BEST. Friends, I must say it’s rough being a brownie tester. I mean, it’s truly been unfortunate that we’ve been eating multiple versions of these brownies every week […]
We have a mini gong in our living room that we bring out for football season. That’s right, a gong! When our team scores our daughter who is 2 1/2 has the privilege of ringing the gong and screaming, TOUCHDOWN!!!! As you can imagine, it’s a pretty big hit! Pun intended. Ha!! And while the […]
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.

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. […]
Banana Caramel Pecan Nice Cream, you have won me over! Friends, you will not believe how EASY this is to make. So easy in fact, that you could have this every day, and enjoy to your hearts content without too much guilt. Because, it’s January after all and everything and everyone is all about resolutions […]
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 […]
