Have you ever rushed into the kitchen after a busy day and wished you could somehow throw dinner together by snapping your fingers? Me too. And I do 🙂  It’s magic. Basically. It’s one of my little secret tricks to healthy cooking, made simple and easy: cook smarter, not harder. Once every month or two, I […]

Y’all know I love good food. Real food. As much as I can get it & work it into my meals. And, I love teaching people how to live a healthier life— but here’s the key: it has to be without the all-or-nothing mentality.  And by “healthier”, just to be clear: I mean healthy physically […]

Oh, the food. That alone makes me giddy once we start inching away from the soggy spring in the PNW and getting closer […]

I wouldn’t interrupt my beach vacay, for just any recipe, so pay real close attention. This one is the […]

I had to wait until the weather actually turned, you know? And that it was official on that calendar. To finally admit that Fall is here. To finally make that shift into the cozy, earlier eves, to cooking again, and actually enjoying the process (without the “stress” of doing some outdoors, at all hours of […]

So, it’s been a little crazy over here, but hey, so is normal life right? Totes. I define “crazy”, when even I “modify” (laz-ify) one of my recipes from the cookbook, that’s easy to begin with. A weird way to measure life, but it’s always true. The shortcut to the shortcut. Sign this girl up. […]
