I used to love noodles. I was borderline obsessed with their starchy goodness … or so I thought. Recently I realized it’s not pasta I adore … it’s sauce! I’ve always been a condiment aficionado. Our fridge is stocked with an abundance of mustards…

Cheesecake is decadent dessert. I usually make it in the fall/winter and prefer it in the pumpkin variety. Ohhhh that is a goody for sure. I’m not a summer creature. I prefer crisp days, rain clouds and pumpkin flavored everything. However this summer has been relatively mild…

Shrimp with feta and tomatoes is a magical. My mom has made it for years … for birthdays, college homecomings, Sunday suppers and regular dinners. It can be served as the ultimate comfort food over angel hair pasta or it can take a lighter approach over spaghetti squash. Honestly it could…

It’s spring in Portland but it’s still rather chilly. It’s been raining all week and there isn’t any sun in the forecast. However you won’t hear me complaining, I love the rain. I suppose that’s a typical attitude…

Mexican Cauliflower Rice

When I first heard about swapping cauliflower rice for traditional rice I was extremely skeptical. However I was wrong … dead wrong! I was afraid the “rice” wouldn’t hold up or be as satisfying as it’s starchy counterpart … if you share these same…

Soft, buttery, flakey lemon scones … is there any better way to kick off spring in Portland? This morning the sun was shining and the air was crisp. The Pacific Northwest really shows of her beauty and flexes her muscles during the spring. I decided to embrace the weather and…
