It's taken me awhile to share this marinade recipe, but mostly because the weather in Seattle has been so spotty and my grilling days are numbered due to excessive rain. Also a small part of me has kept this one close to the vest because it's unique to my family and genuinely the best way [...]
Summer came (literally) overnight to Seattle, and it's causing me to go over-the-top in a craze for all my favorite warm weather things. Not only is the sun out and temps are up, but the berries are in season, corn on the cob is sweet, and markets are thriving with locally-made everything to enjoy. This [...]
I'm back! The last few weeks have been hectic to say the least and have unfortunately kept me away from my favorite hobby: baking! Between preparing to change jobs in June, bachelorette weekend festivities for my bestie, and SIFF starting (the Seattle International Film Festival, remember my Reese’s Pieces PB Cookies recipe?), I haven't had much time [...]
May in Seattle means the start of one of my all-time favorite Seattle events: SIFF, the Seattle International Film Festival, and I can't wait. SIFF is easily my favorite festival this city has to offer, and every year I anxiously await the release of the film schedule so I can start meticulously planning how to see as many [...]
What has coconut and oats and is chocolate all over? I'll give you a hint, it's something delicious! Introducing: Chocolate Crispy Cookies!
It's a sunny feel-good kind of weekend in Seattle, so I decided to dust off a recipe I love from the family archives: Chewy chocolate peanut butter chip cookies. Guaranteed to make the cookie lovers in your life go: Beyond being chocolate + peanut butter (truly the most heavenly combination on earth), the texture of [...]

I'm back! If you haven't check out my latest story yet (Italian Runaway), it provides an explanation for my long absence. Regardless, I'm back in my kitchen and excited to be cooking for myself again after a long stint away. Easing back in to extravagant meals slowly, we had a rain-free and (somewhat) sunny weekend [...]
You may have noticed I've been gone for awhile. Almost one month since my last post, but I promise I have a very good explanation for leaving my readers in suspense and wondering ... where did all the dinners and cookie recipes go? Well, friends ... the short answer is: I ran away to Italy. In [...]
My friends and family in the northeast United States are getting hit hard with snow this week. As the pictures and snow day announcements roll in (lucky!) it's a reminder that although it's March, winter is hardly over. Thankfully I'm far away from the bad weather. I'm spending this week in Fort Worth, TX replenishing [...]
Not sure if you've heard yet, but we love breakfast foods in our household. We've tried to create, recreate and reinvent breakfast dishes like fritatta, pancakes (have you seen these Jalapeno Corn Cakes yet?!) and our all-time favorite: quiche. This hearty dish is just what everyone needs to either start the day with some serious brain food, share [...]
