A few weeks back I got an itch to make some marshmallows. I’m not sure where the urge came from, but suddenly and very acutely, I wanted needed them. You see, homemade marshmallows are not like the kind you get from the store. Those...
Carey and I have been working on getting this workshop finalized for a while now, and I am *so* incredibly excited for it. Not only will it combine both photography and cheese (two of my favorite things in the world) but it takes place...
We had a bit of a cold snap again here these past few days. Not crazy enough for snow, but cold enough to make taking the dogs out first thing in the morning especially unpleasant. This left me craving something warm, hearty, and comforting...
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...

I made this tasty pumpkin gnocchi back in the fall when I came across an adorably-shaped squash at the farmer’s market and wanted to put it to good use. I meant to post it right away, but then the holiday madness started and I...
Over the past couple weeks I’ve been thinking more and more of summer. The warmth, the sunlight, the long loooong days…it all feels very faraway right now. This is my first Oregon winter in the past nine years and I’m definitely feeling it (and...
Right before I got all bogged down with the world’s worst cold, I made this little citrus upside down cake, and have been nibbling at it ever since. Yes, I’ve been a bit sick lately. Not just the little stuffy or a bit...
I always look forward to the super bowl, not because I’m much of a football person (I regularly get teams from across the entire sports spectrum confused. ‘Did the A’s make the super bowl this year?’) but because I reallllly like to use it...
A couple weeks ago I had Christiann from Portland Fresh over to make some old fashioned buttermilk donuts. We’d met through instagram (yay instagram friends!) a couple months ago and have quickly bonded since then over our love of food and the northwest....
