The holiday season is nearly upon us, and soon after that we’ll be starting fresh with an entirely new year. To ring in the season of giving with something fun and comforting, I made a free downloadable Adventures in Cooking calendar for you to...

Sometimes it seems like time passes by more quickly than others. I made this recipe last year around this time, but never managed to get it all written up and edited to share with you before autumn was over, so here I am sharing...

There are some days where you crave the simple and the good. Something that you know will go well together, is easy to make, and requires the smallest amount of clean-up afterwards. And on those days, I like to stick to one-pot cooking. All...

This recipe is my farewell to the summer—cherry tomatoes are usually the only fruits small enough to still ripen when the sun starts to wane and the cool nights of autumn re-introduce themselves into the garden. They’re the last breath of summer’s harvest. To...

We’ve made it to that funny in-between season in the midst of the tail-end of summer and the first wisps of fall. This time of year always feels like a bit of a transitional period, but with all that’s happening right now with school...

A couple weeks ago I felt an intense itch to get out of the house, so Jeremy and I headed east to our friend Trina’s farm, Mountain View Orchards, to soak up the views, wide open spaces, and pick up some fruit from their...

The garden’s been in a tizzy these days. It’s popping out summer squash like there’s no tomorrow, and I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with the sheer quantity of squash heading into the kitchen. I have a great recipe for summer squash...

I’m so happy that summer is here in full swing, and nothing tastes quite as refreshing on a balmy July afternoon as a minty berry mojito. I love having mojitos when we’re grilling out on the deck, it makes waiting around for the chicken...
