Summer is amazing right? Everything just feels so vibrant and full of life. I love going to the farmer’s market during the summer because it is just so full and exciting. Each stall is packed with fresh fruits and veggies, it’s hard to not be impressed. I decided to make a dish from items found…
Honey Almond Salmon
After all of the sweets that we have been eating, Tai and I decided we were long overdue for a healthy meal. So the other night I grabbed some salmon from the grocery store on my way home from work and decided to see what we could come up with. And our little experiment…
Savory Mint Watermelon Salad
A few weeks ago I went to a food blogger conference in Salt Lake City and of course at a food blogger conference, the main focus is the food. The catering at the conference was superb and one of the dishes that I was most excited to try was a watermelon salad. I’ll admit…
Blackened Leeks with Asparagus
It’s that time of year again, the Union Square Farmer’s Market is open and beginning to have fresh vegetables! Well some fresh vegetables. It is still early in the season and there was some snow last weekend. But although the pickings are slim, it’s good to be back! One vegetable in particular grabbed…
Asian Style Salmon
Tai calls this “the BEST fish he’s ever had!” Considering how most of the fish I’ve made for him has either been charred to death or half frozen/half raw in the center, I think this was a vast improvement. He says it even tops last week’s salmon, which I have to wholeheartedly agree with. Because…
Butternut Squash Pasta with Sausage
This past weekend I made a Butternut Squash Pasta with Sausage and it was delicious! It satisfied both Tai’s sweet tooth and love of having a filling meal. I know this is meant as a fall dish, but I was craving it and couldn’t resist when I saw butternut squash on sale at the grocery store….
Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Happy St Patrick’s Day! Ok we are a day early but I couldn’t resist. This recipe was too good to hold on to and beyond easy to make. If you can slice evenly and have a steady hand with the seasoning, you can do this! These Roasted Cabbage Steaks are a quick and easy side…
Southwest Chicken Stir Fry
We are back from vacation 🙁 Back to reality and back to a near empty kitchen. I scrounged up what we had left in our pantry and ran to the store to grab chicken. And what we got was a superb Southwest Chicken Stir Fry! It was sooo good and has the added bonus of being…
The Beginning
We finally did it. Three months of searching, a few false leads and we finally had an apartment of our own. No more roommates, no more waiting to use the bathroom in the morning, no more cleaning someone else’s dirty dishes, no more wondering if your favorite sweater was left at the boyfriend’s apartment. Overall…
