Popsicles I thought of both kids and adults when I whipped up these beautiful popsicles for an Independence Day treat! I blended blood orange and pomegranate juice with blueberry and vanilla yogurts in star shaped popsicle molds for my attempt at red, white and blue. Even though I themed these out for the upcoming Holiday,…
This bread is a spin on traditional garlic bread. Always delicious, I know, but it is fun to change things up sometimes! My herb garden is completely overgrown, and one of the culprits is the chives, so I have to start inventing more ways to use them in bulk. I love chives- their wonderful mild…
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting Red Velvet is something that has always been a mystery to me. I never choose red velvet when we go for cupcakes with my girls. I didn’t choose red velvet cake at my brother or my many girlfriends wedding dessert spreads. I never choose red velvet. I realize…
This is a great, fresh side dish. What makes it unusual is that the corn is raw. It is sooo sweet and bursts in your mouth when you eat it. It is paired with peppery radishes, (which are really plentiful at the farmers markets right now and inspired this recipe), fresh herbs and beautiful cherry…
This is a delicious summer treat! My family had these with steaks on Fathers Day- but they are really something amazing for any special occasion you have soon, or just if you are feeling like splurging a bit! The chili herb butter is incredibly flavorful and really beautiful when melted over the lobster. You can…
Ok, this week I will start posting the recipe’s and pictures from Fathers Day. We surf and turfed it with grilled New York strip steak and lobster tails. This recipe GENEROUSLY feeds 12 huge eaters, or in the case of our family, the children. Feel free to trim down the recipe, or slice the steaks…
I sort of have a policy at my house. If there is going to be shellfish and or other forms of seafood in large quantities, I try to have everyone eat outside! There is nothing like the smell of crab stuck in your sisal carpet, right? Up here in Seattle, Mother Nature is hardly cooperating…
I just found out there has been a change of plans for Fathers Day. My numbers have doubled! So while faced with making, or buying, more ice cream for my original ice cream sundae bar, or maybe making something with the ridiculous amount of berries I have, that are threatening to rot- I thought of…
This is the ultimate Fathers Day dessert. I am going to build out an ice cream sundae bar, as my husband and dad and brother-in-law (all the fathers in my family) all love ice cream! But the indulgent and delicious flavors of peanut butter and chocolate happen to be my favorite! This particular sundae is…
There is no need to ever go out for pancakes again, or buy mix for that matter. These are completely from scratch, and are soooo good! The ingredients are minimal, and the batter literally took 3 minutes to make, max. I like my pancakes thin and really tender with an almost savory tang to them…
