What a Weekend!
Happy Monday! Hope your weekend treated you right! I had a fantastic weekend in Portland, Oregon celebrating our friends John and Hallie’s wedding. And what a wedding it was! While I have to admit, I was a bit sad to leave the forecasted 80+ degrees in Northern Cali, Portland cooperated very nicely with the wedding...
Oven Roasted Salmon and Leeks
Happy Friday! Do you have some leeks leftover?? This is a quick and easy “one pan” meal – kinda like a one pot meal but using a sheet pan instead! The flavor of the leeks works perfectly with the salmon, and the cook at almost exactly the same rate, so you just have to throw...
Leek and Potato Flatbread
Hey! Did you get your leeks cleaned? I hope so, because now it’s time to use them! I love flatbread-mostly because it is a fancy name for pizza! But calling it flatbread not only makes it sound a little more “high class,” but also helps me not feel bad about eating an extra slice (or...

La Paloma Hermosa
Happy Friday! Best day of the week right? Who’s feeling like a cocktail? Is it weird that I am raising my hand as I type? It is supposed to be a ridiculously nice weekend in northern California and I can’t wait to fix me up a big batch of these! I first had this delicious...
What I Ate Wednesday – Veggies don’t have to be boring!
Good Morning! Hope your Wednesday is going wonderfully so far and just gets better!

Sweet Potato Hash
Hey there! I am still working on getting back on West Coast time, but the plus side is, I have been getting lots done in the mornings! This morning I got up and did two loads of laundry before I even made breakfast! Who knew the early morning hours could be so productive?!:) If you...
NYC Recap!
Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! I am back from the Big Apple after an amazing trip! We had such a great time and had so many fun adventures, so I thought I’d share some highlights with you all. We never got to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, but we did head over to Brooklyn for an...
What I Ate Wednesday-Veg it up!
Happy Wednesday!!!! Hope everyone is having a great week! Because this month’s WIAW is focusing on adding an extra cup of veggies into your culinary repertoire, I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to “sneak in” veggies to my daily meals. Breakfast: In my opinion, there is no better way to sneak in...
