Throughout my childhood I had eczema, which if you’re unfamiliar with it, generally means that your skin is drier than a normal persons. It manifests itself in very different ways in different people, though. Some get rashes, others don’t, I for example got tiny...

The first time I ever had burrata was in a pizza. There was this amazing wood fired pizza chain in Los Angeles that made this insanely tasty pizza that consisted of burrata and caramelized onions piled atop tomato sauce and baked until the crust...

This is the first spring in my life that I can call myself a homeowner, and it’s definitely been an adventure so far. The main reason Jeremy and I moved up to Portland was to be closer to our families, but coming in at...

Tomorrow is my birthday and I’ll be on a plane at 6 am for work out of town, but I was able to celebrate earlier this week with family and friends. I’m still in the process of remodeling the living/dining room areas of our...

After months of hard work and utter madness, the kitchen remodel finally finished at the end of November. And after the craziness of the holidays and the bustling new year, I finally have time to talk about it. When we moved in, the kitchen...

I’ve been wanting to put a local event together for a really, realllly long time, so I am beyond excited to share that I’ll be hosting my first workshop here in my hometown of Portland along with Christiann of Portland Fresh! The 1-day only...

I’ve never been a huge Valentine’s Day person. It feels kind of weird to me that we’re expected to show extra affection on one particular day a year, plus the added emphasis on gifts and grand romantic gestures. I say, be affectionate all year...

Life’s been a whirlwind around these parts lately. The dining/living room floors are finally finished, after a lengthy staining mishap that required us to sand down the floors a second time (turns out iron+ vinegar stain on red oak turns blue not grey), and...
