It was June when I started the brussels sprout seeds inside. I carefully filled little pots with seedling mix and made sure to keep them moist. Soon enough there was a push up from the soil and a little green leaf waving it’s head at me. I coddled these things, taking them outside to get… Continue reading Pomegranate Salad Recipe

Birthday cake
Made this cake for my birthday yesterday. It’s made from roasted and pureed buttercup squash and shredded apples. The crumb is moist, full of spice and topped with toasted walnuts and maple syrup icing. After a very full and extended weekend spent with friends and family, it was a real treat. I feel so truly… Continue reading Birthday cake
Making a Mexican feast
This weekend was ordinary and I say that with an excited smile in my voice, because running a graphic design and handmade business with your husband is not exactly high up on the ordinary list. Between packing up your car so full with product you can’t see out the back window, then driving hundreds of… Continue reading Making a Mexican feast
Mushroom hunting
Last Sunday we found ourselves in a not to far, large wooded park. It’s a treasure to have parks like this when you live in an urban area and we find ourselves there pretty often. This one is lined with lots of trails, through tall cedar trees and cliffs that overlook the puget sound. This… Continue reading Mushroom hunting
A Drive to Remember
This post is a bit overdue, but I’d like to think of it as a kind (and tasty) reminder to those of you who have yet to purchase the cookbook. I started reading their blog soon after they started and it has since remained a favorite. Marina’s approach to cooking is similar to mine, in… Continue reading A Drive to Remember
A Breakfast Pancake
A couple weekends ago, some girlfriends and I hopped on I-5 heading south for a 2 1/2 hour drive. The oldest working water powered flour mill in the state. The September afternoon was bright and sunny, it felt like a much needed mini road trip. The mill is completely volunteer operated, so the hours are… Continue reading A Breakfast Pancake
Yummy Cookie recipes
We lost a friend to cancer in late July. She was an all around beautiful person that we saw nearly every week for the past two years over dinner among friends. She was way too young, but from it, I found myself taking away an even greater appreciation of life. I yearned to spend real… Continue reading Yummy Cookie recipes
Fresh Granola for Breakfast
It’s only been 5 months, but I think we’ve fully settled into our house. Or at least the idea of being in this place for the long haul. I already know most of the creaks in the floorboards, the way certain drawers in the kitchen need to be pushed in just a little harder, and… Continue reading Fresh Granola for Breakfast
Simple Fresh Salad
You people always amaze me. I was hesitant about sending my last post out into the internet world. I kept asking myself, “is this too much information?” or ”how much do I really want to open up here?” In the end, I did a lot of editing and re-editing, deleting entire paragraphs I didn’t feel… Continue reading Simple Fresh Salad
Celebrating love
Jared and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past week. We didn’t have anything special planned; after being on the road and eating out for over a week, all we wanted to do was be home. I did however manage to keep our tradition of eating bundt cake going. Last year’s was a… Continue reading Celebrating love
