Summer is officially here in Seattle. Well, for the week at least. Let us pretend. The season for boating, picnicing, fresh cocktails, and less time in the kitchen in general. In my kitchen, anyways. I, like many Seattlites, have the intense tendency to want to be outside at every possible moment when the weather is […]

My roasted red pepper harissa recipe for the Bite of Seattle Home Cooks Competition. It’s embarrassing to watch, but it paid off well– I won the contest and get to cook on the main stage at the Bite of Seattle this summer!

There are some HUGE things happening around here. But today, I’ll keep it short and sweet. As long as you promise to stay tuned in the coming week. Deal? Deal.

Cilantro-Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers: Another great sauce to add to the files– cilantro perfection at it’s finest. And although it makes a big batch {great for freezing} and as a great marinade or sauce for most seafood, veggies, potatoes or meat, there’s no better combo than shrimp, pineapple, a few veggies and a grill this […]

 Super Bowl Sunday is all about the food. And football + commercials perhaps {depending who you ask}. And Super Bowl food = junk food {usually}. But why be usual? Especially when you’ll feel like crap the next day.  What about some really good food instead? Yes, please. Recipes: Wild Smoked Salmon & Goat Cheese Roll-Ups: […]

Can’t stop. Won’t stop. No reason to, really. I will never buy store-bought applesauce again. I think you’ll feel the same. Who knew it was so easy to make? Apples + cinnamon+ water + 15 mins. The perfect snack, side & sweeter treat. Ingredients: 10 Fuji (or any variety) apples cinnamon {water}   Directions: 1. […]

Dessert without any added sugar &  flour. I know what you’re thinking. But wait. Because these little dessert bites actually taste great, despite all of those things missing. And in the season of endless sugar and flour treats that can wreck havoc on your body inside and out, why not give your body a little […]

Let’s play a game. I’ll say a word and you say the first thing that comes to mind. I’ll go first. Chicken. ……………………Boring. Oh, sorry. [so rude of me]. It just popped out. I would even dare to say it’s in my Top 5 Most Boring Foods, a close tie with steamed veggies. And we […]
