Looks at that beautiful, flakey salmon filet. It’s seared to perfection with the rich, umami flavor of miso. Totally mouth-watering! Honestly, I couldn’t love it more. This salmon is a collaboration with Skylar The Food Artist, and we spent our whole shoot day stealing bites of this salmon every chance we could! I’ll be putting…
Gluten-Free Baked Buffalo Chicken Salad with SOOOOO much Crunch
My husband generally specializes in the buffalo chicken salads in my family. One day when my daughter Penelope was barely 3, she slammed the kitchen table with her fist, grunted loudly and declared “Bam, this is SO good!” while eating some random dinner I had made her. Obviously, I died laughing because THAT was awesome…
Quick and Crunchy Refrigerator Pickles
I like immediate gratification as much as the next gal, but when you’re talking about pickling you’re usually looking down the barrel of a good long wait. While I appreciate the fermentation process, sometimes I just want a zesty, herb-y, crunchy pickle without all the fuss. These quick pickles are fantastic because they brine quickly…
Sourdough Starter Pancakes with a Peanut Butter and Jelly Stack
Hey my 5-year-old self, EAT YOUR HEART OUT! Seriously, though, these pancakes are made of pure sourdough starter and they are crispy on the outside and tender and chewy on the inside. If you make real sourdough bread, you probably struggle with finding ways to use the extra sourdough starter every time you feed your…

Hasselback Brown Butter Sage and Maple Butternut Squash
All things hasselback are super on trend these days. I saw a bunch of insta photos of hasselback butternut squash and figured I’d take a crack at my own version with frizzled sage in brown butter and just a touch of maple sweetness. Winter squash with brown butter and sage is one of my absolute favorite…
Fizzy Bees Knees Cocktail with Thyme Honey Syrup
I’m actually not much of a gin drinker myself. More of a brown liquor kind of person myself. But I must say that this cocktail is a breath of fresh air on the cocktail scene. The fizz of soda water puts an effervescent spin on the classic bees knees gin cocktail. Lightly sweetened with honey and…
Homemade Jello Massacre!
Can you tell I’m the mother of a toddler? What gave me away?! Playing with sweetened, overly bright food for no good reason except to make a mess? Yeah, I think my little girl may be rubbing off on me a bit, but I get where she’s coming from because playing with your food is…
Dirty Shirley Cocktail over Crushed Ice
I remember the first time I had a Shirley Temple. I felt soooo grown up with the fancy glass of bright red sweet liquid. Super super sweet! This Dirty Shirley is the good time cocktail for the big kid in all of us. It’s quick and easy but still feels a bit fancy somehow. Dirty Shirley…
The Best Basil Pesto
You guys! 2019 has had it’s way with me so far. Seriously, I had several adult fevers (wtf? I blame the “pit of germs” that is preschool), so many birthdays and all the fun January business owner tasks to contend with. Well guess what February?! I’m taking the damn reigns, starting with this sugar addiction…
