  • Yellow Squash and Roasted Cauliflower Soup

    Hey everybody! Remember awhile back when I made Yellow Squash and Basil soup?  It’s ok, it was a long time ago.  One of my first blog posts, actually 🙂 Whilst (yes, I like whilst) wondering the produce section in Safeway the other night, I saw them!  Not very yellow, and not very big, but there!…

  • Sweet and Spicy Tofu

    I made a variation on my favorite tofu marinade.  This one comes from Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point, and she’s not kidding when she calls it her Perfect Baked Tofu.  In our house, we call it candy tofu, because it’s surprisingly sweet from the honey, but spicy enough for dinner. I started with honey and…

  • Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Cups

    Yes, I said salted caramel peanut butter cups. I make some things that impress me, but I know it’s a really great sign when my husband is impressed.  It hardly ever happens.  I mean, he likes the things that I make, but he doesn’t really get excited about them like I do.  It’s just the…

  • 14 Things

    This post contains an obscene amount of exclamation points.  Read at your own discretion. 1.     I have exciting things to show you! 2.     But not today. 3.     I’m feeling so much better! 4.     Strep is awful. 5.     Antibiotics are amazing! 6.     Which is…

  • Baking in Daylight

    Weekends are awesome.  Not only because I sleep in until at least 8:00AM (what do you mean that’s not sleeping in?), but because I get to take pictures in natural light. I realize that if you’re not a food blogger, that might not sound like a big deal, but it’s kind of a big deal.…

  • A Review of Helena

    Ok, so not Helena, exactly.  A review of a few places we visited when we were there recently.  Generally, I’m pretty biased against Helena.  Not that there’s anything wrong with it per se, I’m just so in love with Missoula that it’s hard for me to give Helena a fair shot.  I grew up there,…

  • The Best Pancakes

    No, really. Don’t let my poor photography skills fool you. These are the best whole wheat pancakes I’ve ever had. The best ANY pancakes I’ve ever had. And I’ve been eating them my entire life, because I’m just that lucky. I remember the first time I had pancakes in a restaurant. They were ginormous (what?…

  • I Had Some Time

    Complete recipe written up neatly at the bottom I had some time yesterday morning.  Because my alarm went off at 5:30 in the morning, and even the thought of going to the gym couldn’t get me out of bed.  I was tiiiiiiiirrrrrred. But then, at exactly 6:15, I decided I was awake and had better…

  • Oh Balls

    My husband and I aren’t speaking right now. Ok, that’s a lie.  We’re totally speaking and on great terms, but if we weren’t speaking, it would be because he doesn’t like my balls. That’s a lie too.  He doesn’t like Mama Pea’s balls.  More specifically, Tina’s adaptation of Mama Pea’s balls. Confused yet?  Don’t worry.…

  • Stuffed Mushrooms

    I used to hate mushrooms.  (I used to hate a lot of things, apparently.)  I would flip if I found an occasional mushroom on my pizza or in a salad.  “They’re rubbery, slimy, and gross!”  Dude.  How could I have been so wrong? The first time I had these I was at our friends’ wedding.…
