It’s been a crazy past couple weeks around here. I’ve got my fingers in a lot of pots at the moment, with articles to type, photos to take, and Oregon house-hunting finally on the horizon! Yes, my friends, we’re finally taking the big leap...
Several weeks go I had the pleasure of hosting an edible flower workshop at home in my garden. We went over starting seeds, transplanting, the various edible flower varieties you can grow at home, and the ways that you can incorporate them into...
The first glimpse of spring always leaves me eager and ready for summer. I think seeing the first batch of fruits start to come back ’round again gets my berry-clock ticking, because that’s all I’ve been wanting to make, lately. Berries. berries. berries. So,...
We began our journey in the north in a large city called Chiang Mai, where we spent about two and a half days. While that ended up being not nearly enough time to see all the amazing things the city had to offer...
Ever since I got a yogurt-making machine as a wedding gift, I’ve become increasingly obsessed with fermenting things. I ordered a sample pack of different yogurt-starter bacteria and was surprised and intrigued by the different yogurt flavors and textures the same batch of...

I know I don’t make a whole lot of vegetable-heavy meals here, and it is something I want to try to do more often, but I’ll be honest, I usually find myself hitting a brick wall when it comes to being creative with vegetables....
Growing up in Oregon, I always knew spring was coming around when the thermometer outside passed 50 degrees and a little ray of sunshine managed to shove its way through the densely packed clouds and left a small spot of warmth on the ground...
I have no idea as to why, but I never had Irish soda bread until last year when I picked up a loaf from a local bakery to take to my friend’s house on my way to her St. Patrick’s day dinner....
My love affair with tomato soup has been a long and heartfelt one. Pure tomato soup wasn’t a dish that was ever served in my childhood home, so I can only assume that it doesn’t have a firm footing in Greek cooking. We had...
Coffee and chocolate have always gone hand in hand for me. My childhood home had a tiled floor, and since most of the year in Oregon is rather chilly and my dad’s always been a bit tight with the purse strings, the temperature...
