Foodie Friday: Sushi Salad
While pregnant, one of the foods I missed the very most was sushi. I occasionally tried to quell my craving by going out for veggie sushi, but I was always a bit bummed that I…
Foodie Friday: Creme Fraiche Pizza
I am in love with this pizza. We are talking make-two-times-in-one-week kind of love. I think it is the creme fraiche. Perhaps it is it that I am currently into cream based flavors with lime,…
Makeover Monday: Raised Garden Bed
With the theme of nature fresh in my mind, it’s about time that I share one of my favorite projects Dale and I have undertaken since moving into our first house. We built a raised…
Foodie Friday: The Lady’s Chicken Noodle Soup
Homemade chicken noodle soup is a cornerstone of comfort food for me, and I know I’m not alone. Just the thought of it brings up memories of being inside on chilly fall days helping Mom…
Foodie Friday: Homemade Salsa
You know how there are foods in life that come in a wide variety and you can either love all the many choices and techniques (ice cream for me) or for you there is only…
Foodie Friday: Pickled Green Beans
I am happy to say that it has been two(!) years this week since Linz and I started Foodie Friday. I love that it started with a reflection on the connection between fashion and food…
Foodie Friday: Lemon Cucumber Tofu Salad
The beautiful thing about Summer cooking is that it tends not to need much cooking at all. It is a chance to allow the fresh, flavorful food to shine. It is an opportunity to spend…
Foodie Friday: Chilled Cucumber and Apple Soup
Linz and I LOVE soup. That is made pretty clear around these parts when leaves start to change color, and a warm bowl hits the spot on cold days. But what about on these hot…
Foodie Friday: More Veggies, Please!
Sometimes New Year’s Resolutions suck. The New Year comes just after the Christmas whirlwind, when bank accounts are low, waistlines are expanded, and the weather is gloomy. I like the idea of NYR’s, but the…
Foodie Friday: Dijon-Braised Brussels Sprouts
Happy 2012! Sorry for the absence on the blog in December, I was running around, busy with all the typical holiday business, with some extra added stress and fun thrown in there. Making for one…
Foodie Friday: Veggie Packed Soup
I have come to realize through these Foodie Friday posts that Linz and I might have a borderline obsession with soup. We might just need to start a weekly post like ‘Sunday Soups’ to fill…
Produce Tree
Almost a year ago Linz and I were in a Christmas store with friends admiring all the lovely decorations. We were noticing how many of the Christmas trees had themes to them, all one color,…
Foodie Friday: Carrot Apple Ginger Soup
Soup season is back and I am pumped! To celebrate, I created a special recipe with ingredients on hand. While I have tasted soups featuring carrots, apples, and ginger previously, this soup also includes a…
Foodie Friday: Roasted Edamame Salad
The sun is out and I’m excited to spend my time basking in its rays. Which means it is also that time of year to put a little less effort into standing over a…
Foodie Friday: Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
I would like to say that I plan all of my meals ahead of time, giving careful thought to what is best for me to eat, and then spending time meditating over my chopping, simmering,…
Asparagus Cake
From the moment I first spied Rosie’s breathtaking Asparagus Cake over at Sweetapolita, I knew I would try to make one myself. I only needed an excuse to make an asparagus cake. As you read…
