on Feb 9, 2012 • No Comments
If you haven’t already guessed, I’m not the type of gal to get all puffed up over a stuffed teddy bear or chalky candies. I’m also not the type of gal who believes in telling people once a year you love them (Come On! Every day peeps. Every. Day). Regardless, I do fancy Valentine’s Day....

Yeah, yeah…I might (choose) not remember how old I am, but I do actually realize what day of the week it is. Wait…It’s Tuesday evening already!?!? Yikes. Time to get back on schedule and beat this tiny bit of lingering Monday blues. I mean, no complaints, but what a weekend! I think I might be...

I know, I know. I don’t typically veer away from Foodworld around these parts, but seeing how absolutely intense and exciting the last few days have been…well, a mini detour was in order (as was a long…looooong nap). This past week, creative lovelies from all over the country descended upon Salt Lake City for Alt...

I want to introduce you to someone special. Please say hello to my dear Atwater Crossing Kitchen. I also want to warn you that I’m crushing mad style on this new friend of mine. I’ve had my eye on this place since it opened a few months back, but being the coy little lunch spot...

Put me in front of a watermelon and I will show it who’s boss. I love them, it’s a summer staple. Who says you can’t enjoy a little bit of that warm weather vibrancy in the middle of winter? Okay, this is totally sounding like a stretch, I hear you. Even though it’s a mild...

HAPPY NEW YEAR GASTRO GEEKS! This New Years Eve was a special night of celebrating with one of our favorite simple things (tacos!) and incorporating a few new tricks (cactus anyone?). There are two traditions I will definitely keep well into the new year: making my own tortillas and continuing to fine tune my slasa...

Last year I spent Christmas and New Years in Australia and there’s not much more to say than it was AH-mazing. Great friends, to-die for food, adorable boutiques, even a new addiction to hand soap…I could go on and on and on about my love for Melbourne. It runs deep…real deep. In fact, just thinking...

Merry Christmas! Candy Cane Cookies And Traditions

on Dec 20, 2011 • 1 Comment
This is the one time of year when I tie on that apron, get elbow deep in flour and do some serious baking. I’m sentimental that way and traditions run deep, especially food traditions. My fondest memories of the holiday season include my sister and I being lined up in my mother’s kitchen for cookie...

If you have ever met me, you might know how obsessed I am with Southwestern/Native American jewelry and clothing. I think at any given time I’m wearing a turquoise or beaded necklace, earrings or ring. Recently I had to honestly ask a friend at what point does one need to limit the number of Navajo...

This already sounds all kinds of ridiculous, don’t think I’m not already on board with you. What started as an experiment in savory persimmon tid bits, ended up as a mad scientist slash are you kidding me jam session in the kitchen. Did I start out to make “persimmon sushi”? Heck no. Who do you think...
