For the holidays, I have been given the best gift ever, and have a full week off from work. That’s right. Monday to Sunday. After years of going and going in this industry, a little time to rest is an amazing thing. Since I get bored easily, though, I decided to cook up a storm,…

Recipe: Basil Salt
Last week, my garden was overrun with basil. I didn’t know what to do, as the space was competing with tomatoes, and the tomatoes were quickly winning. It’s a massacre out there for all the other veggies. I have been doing everything I can to preserve the beautiful basil my garden produced, and this recipe…
Recipe:Stuffed Squash Blossoms
This summer, I finally decided to tackle something that I have been either too busy, or too afraid to tackle: My very own garden. I know it sounds silly, but I have dreamed of growing my own food for some time now. I have to say, it has certainly been a learning experience. What to…
Baking Christmas Pies
I don’t know about you, but 2015 flew by. I know, i know, the old adage is that with every year time seems to move by quicker, but it is scary how that statement actually rings true. I wish I could go back to my days when it seemed nap time would take forever to…
Recipe: Easy Salmon Tartare
Recently, I came into some possession of salmon belly trim (trim is usually pretty awesome and cheap ya know), and I hate wasted food. I decided to make something real quick, easy, and perfect for the (finally) warming weather. The diced trim was just mixed with whatever I had on hand at home- just simply…
Riesling Poached Pears
Now, I’m no baker, but I love dessert. It seems like a meal isn’t complete without a little something sweet at the end. Eventually I want to learn how to make a chocolate tart, soufflé, or something else that’s sweet and fancy, but that’s a question for my friends in the baking program at school….
Some Favorites for the Holidays
My favorite holiday is tomorrow. Yes, it’s thanksgiving. I don’t think anyone is surprised. I know it has some pretty sketchy roots, but I just love the idea of a holiday that celebrates eating and drinking. I’m also off from school for a few days, giving me time to relax and restore a little. I’m…
My New Favorite Birthday Drink
This past weekend was a good one. Not only was it my 25th birthday and I was lucky enough to spend the weekend with friends and family, but I also fell in love. With a drink, that is. I feel like this relationship will definitely work out well for me. This drink recipe was concieved…
Recipe: Simple Roasted Chicken
This weekend marks the end of my 24th year, or as a friend puts it “The end of saying ‘I didn’t know any better.’” I know that adulthood is upon me, Yet I know there is still so much to learn in my life. It is a pretty strange feeling. In honor of my friend’s…
Recipe: Plum Coffee Cake
It’s no secret that I’m not the best at baking, mostly because I shy away from trying it. It intimidates me. When I saw this post from StrawberryPlum, however, I had to try it. I love coffee cake, and, ironically, how well it pairs with tea. Figured I’d give it a go, I mean, it’s…
