I recently purchased the Half Baked Harvest cookbook and I’m really enjoying testing out the new recipes. Some of my favorites so far include the enchiladas, zucchini and corn flatbread pizza, seafood banh mi, spring chicken soup with ravioli and poached eggs, and Thai coconut veggie curry. The recipes aren’t complicated, they are fairly quick to make, […]
Wine Tasting in Walla Walla
Last month Evan and I traveled to eastern Washington and spent my birthday weekend in Walla Walla. This was our second time visiting; we went once during our first year in Seattle and enjoyed getting acquainted with Washington’s wine region. Our second visit focused less on learning about the region and more on stocking up […]
Gingersnap Cookies
Happy summer! It’s hard to believe it’s already July, but I guess that’s a good sign we’ve been enjoying the summer in Seattle. The warm weather, late sunsets, relaxing evenings on the rooftop deck, grilling, and harvesting fresh goodies from the garden – it’s been great. And with the numerous upcoming trips ahead this summer and […]
Cape Town, South Africa
Last September Evan had the opportunity to travel to Cape Town, South Africa for work, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to go with him. Instead of taking two weeks of vacation time (and because one of my projects was in an intense construction phase), I convinced my supervisor to let me take work […]
Salmon Burgers
It’s no surprise that there’s a lot of great seafood in the Pacific Northwest. Since moving here over 3 years ago, I’m constantly reminded how spoiled we are. The fresh fish at Pike Place Market is well-known and restaurants in town have a lot of delicious seafood on their menu – rockfish, crab, mussels, oysters, […]
Breakfast Pizza on Naan
The idea for this recipe came to me during a week when I purposely didn’t stock up on groceries. Evan and I were traveling over the weekend and I wanted to use up what we had in the fridge before we left. Sometimes my most creative recipes derive from situations like these; I end up […]
My latest go-to cookbook: The Dinner Plan
I tend to get into these moods where I’m constantly looking for new recipes and trying out new ideas in the kitchen. It’s a fun way to explore a bit and get creative. I find it’s usually a result of a visit to the Amazon bookstore; I end up looking at so many cookbooks and […]
Orzo & Squash Salad
Evan and I recently went to a friend’s house for a dinner party and we made homemade sushi! Our friends did all the prep work: cooking the rice, preparing the fish, cutting up the vegetables. We just helped assemble all of the rolls. It’s surprisingly not too difficult; we added a thin layer of sushi rice […]
Philly Cheese Steaks
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! Evan and I traveled to Minnesota for Christmas and spent a week relaxing with my family, eating way too much good food and drinking a few too many Bent Paddle black ales. Despite the -20°F temperatures, it was a great trip. We traveled back […]
Tortellini with Basil Pesto
Tortellini with homemade basil pesto has easily become of one my favorite go-to weeknight dishes, especially when I get home late and want to get dinner on the table fast. I planted basil on our rooftop this summer and fortunately, I was able to make a large batch of pesto each time I harvested the […]
