So you may have noticed my hiatus from this blog over the past few months. Our incredible baby girl was born in January and I was back at working shooting for clients two weeks later. Talk about an adjustment! What with figuring out my role as a new mama while also keeping my head above…
Smoked Salmon Open-faced Sandwich with radishes, avocado and sprouts
This is the very definition of quick and hearty! I used to dislike smoked salmon unless it topped gobs of cream cheese. While it’s still super tasty with tons of cream cheese, which we used generously in this recipe, I love it all the time on almost anything now. This sandwich is piled high with…

Cheesy Cauliflower Bake with Herb Sauteed Mushrooms
Holy smokes this recipe is AMAZING! It’s one of those winter meals I could be gross enough to eat every single day and just get hopelessly fat. Every. Single. Day.

Skillet Fried Crispy Gluten-Free Cornbread Cakes
I never know what to make as an appetizer when we have people over. I’m always stumped by what will keep well enough to have out, or what jives with various food preferences and intolerances. Today’s recipe is a fun and unique one though, sure to be a hit as an appetizer or family lunch….
Spiced Affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso)
I know the weather in other parts of the country is cooooooold. Time to bring out those big comfy knit sweaters and start making everything with pumpkin and apples. I admit, I’m jealous. It’s one of the big things I miss about the east coast and the actual change of seasons. The weather here in…
