Comfort Food: Shepherd’s Pie
I’m on a comfort food mission. This dish is something that was often in our fridge or freezer growing up. It’s inexpensive, easy to make, freezes well and hits the comfort food spot. What’s not to love? I even have my roommate Amy’s approval, as she ended up eating it for breakfast and lunch this …read the rest
Crock Pot: Getting back to your root veggies
Winter makes me think of root veggies: butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, parsnips, suede, celeriac. It’s the time of year I want to turn my oven on and fill up the whole house with the warmth and toasty smell as the vegetables caramelize slowly. However, roasting veggies can take way too long when I get …read the rest
B’sprout Deliciousness
I made Brussel sprouts last night, and Thursday night, and last Sunday. And its not because they are the least expensive vegetable on the shelf. They are just too delicious to ignore. Now before you start calling me weird, think about the last time you had Brussel sprouts. Were you 10 and forcing them down …read the rest
Snow!!!
Finally, it snowed in the wasatch. I haven’t even looked at snow totals yet, quite frankly, I don’t even care. I’m just happy that is finally snowed! The only bad thing is that we’re currently sitting in the red snake trying to get up llc. The good news? I’ve got great company…. And the sun …read the rest
Comfort Food: Smoothered Shrimp and Okra
Jamon loves okra. The first time I ever tried it was in Vegas last year, it was only an appetizer, but at first bite I knew that I could just eat a bowl of it and be happy. O man. It was so yummy. We licked the plate clean. Since then, I’ve been on the …read the rest
The zucchini soldiers come marching in
I woke up this morning tired, sad, and stuffy. What I really wanted was my mum to make me eggs and soldiers, but since that is hardly whole30 compliant, and I’m a little low on veggies varieties I made this: What are eggs and soldiers I hear you ask? Does you spoon make airplane …read the rest
2010 Powder Day: Rage Productions Bonus
One snowy April day, Angeli, Hennie, Giray and I shuffled up Catherine’s Pass for a little storm shooting. It was hilarious. Not only did I fully shave all the branches off a pine tree attempting to “tap” it, we also crashed, swam, and swallowed the deep fluffy snow. This season, I’ve almost forgot what it …read the rest
Dinner on the fly: A Quick and Easy Curry
I love experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s a slow, multi-step process; a dance through the silence of my house, no music, no tv, no roommate. I can revel in the stillness and silence. My only company is the chop, chop, chop of my knife, the bubble of the pot, the sizzle of onions carmelizing …read the rest
A life lived with passion is never wasted
Sometimes it feels like all the sadness is compressed into one tiny instant. One space. Even your tears can’t fit. Only nausea, shock; a squeezing choking feeling that starts in your stomach and moves its way up. It’s been 5 years since Asher passed, and yet the shocking, choking feeling can still hit. It’s less …read the rest
