One of my favorite things about living in Oregon is berry season! We have to be a bit patient as often our berries come late in the season; but it’s SO worth the wait. Our berries are plump, juicy and sweet… like nothing you can find in the store. Yesterday the boys and I ventured […]
I think it’s time for another contest! This one isn’t quite as fun because I won’t be making food for anyone. But, it does involve a $50 gift card so I think you’ll still like it 🙂 The purpose is to get the word out there about my blog. A lot of you have blogs […]
Yes Sir-y… I have officially died and gone to ice cream heaven. When I first saw homemade blackberry ice cream on P-Dub’s site I knew I had to try it. I whipped up a batch today and made some modifications and literally licked the ice cream maker when it was done. Heaven. 2 pints fresh […]
What a delicious and refreshing take on lettuce wraps. You might think that apple is a strange addition, but it’s perfect in these wraps. And to quote another blog…..”if you’ve never fried mung bean noodles, go out and buy some and fry them NOW. it is a life changing experience. Seriously. Just make way less […]
This is hands down my favorite side dish. I love the great garlic flavor, the bright notes from the squeeze of lemon juice but most of all the baking method of cooking gives this rice a perfect texture. It does take a bit of time to bake but putting it together is a snap. Ingredients: […]

Yum! Just saw this over on Martha Stewart’s website. Although I haven’t made it yet, I can tell by what’s in it that I would LOVE it. This is definitely on the top of my “to make” list. It starts out with a creamy base of marscapone cheese, fresh whipped cream and vanilla. Then you […]
I love hummus! It’s such a creamy, delicious snack. I love to eat it with broccoli, pepper strips or toasted pita bread. It’s really simple to make and requires just a few ingredients. The roasted garlic in this hummus is subtle and adds a more complex flavor to traditional hummus. So very yummy and a […]
