This month I participated in Food Buzz’s Tastemaker Opt-In with California Avocados. They sent me a box of avocados and a couple cute little magnets, which I was particularly excited about because my home made magnets keep breaking. This does not reflect poorly...

I am going to be honest with you. This is the best roast chicken I have ever had, and my Mom made a pretty awesome roast chicken growing up. But this just takes the cake. Sorry, Mom. I think what did it was the...

I have news. Big news. News warranting as excessive amount of cupcakes. I am going to be an NBC Page. After going through an interview/screening process that has taken almost a year, I got a call a few days ago from NBC and was...

      One of my favorite places to go when I am back home in Oregon is a restaurant chain called McMenamins. Not only are the majority of their restaurant locations in really old and/or historic buildings, but they make one my favorite...

Since I’ve been home in Oregon I’ve been in complete awe of the beauties of spring. All the plants are sprouting back up again and the plentiful tulips and irises are just stunning. Even though it is still quite cold here, I decided to...
