Not so much a recipe…
More of a “why have I not been doing this for years?” post. Remember back when I made caramel sauce? For some strange reason, I haven’t made it since then. I know, right!? The other day, I decided to make caramel sauce. I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but…

Skillsets
Yep. Yep. Mmmhmm. Yeah. I’ve made cakes before. Delicious, moist, fluffy cakes. Sometimes with frosting, sometimes glaze, sometimes with just a dusting of powdered sugar. But I’ve never made a layer cake. And we all know that presentation isn’t my strong suit. I’ve always wanted to do it–try my hand at making things look as…

Catch Up
Hello! Oh my gosh, it’s been so long! You *look* fantastic! *I can’t really see you, but knowing you, I can assume. What have I been up to? Oh geez, where do I start? Well, we’ve been moving. And that’s seriously hectic. Have you ever moved? I swear things start appearing. Literally materializing out of…

Exciting Stuff Indeed
I really do mean to post with some kind of regularity, so I apologize for disappearing. I promise that soon I will post more often. It’s just that, things have been happening. Exciting things. Like, big, awesome, things. We’re moving! Before you freak out, we’re staying in Missoula. I’m not sure we’d ever choose to…

That’s not me. But that’s how I felt all weekend. You see, Farmer’s Market is back. And it was Brew Fest. I don’t drink beer (still. Shocking, I know), but I got to people watch, and dog watch, and kayak watch. I got to hear about everybody’s most/least favorite beers. And we stumbled upon a…

The Un-Burrito
We’re still not eating much chicken around here. I’ve decided that’s a good/bad thing. Bad: because sometimes I just want to throw something together, and I know about a million ways to prepare and flavor chicken. But some people in my house (i.e. Nick) have declared that chicken consumption needs to be drastically reduced. Good:…

Flathead Lake Brewing
I still hate beer. I know! I’ m sorry! (Sort of) That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a good pour. We have been Kettle House people forever. I mean, until Kettle House Northside opened up. We’re still totally Kettle House people, but we’re also Big Sky people, Bayern people, and now Flathead Lake Brewing people.…

I love sushi! There, I’ve said it. Now everyone knows. Right now the vast majority of my family is cringing in disgust. If only they knew! How on earth do I know about sushi, seeing as how I live in a land-locked state? Fortunately for us, Missoula has not one, but two excellent sushi joints.…

Summer Food
Spring in Montana is a volatile thing. In the same week, we’ve gone from beautiful, sunny, 50F, to cloudy, windy and snowy. C’est la vie in ol’ MT. When we were in the throes of sunny rapture, we got together with our friends and had a dinner of summer-ish foods. Namely, bbq pizza and grilled…

Sous Chef
Some jobs are just too fun hard to do alone. They require someone totally serious Who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Who can handle anything, and can multitask with the best of them. Who would never hide from the tough jobs. Who isn’t afraid to soar to new heights. And who would never,…
