I’ve started a new adventure the past couple of months. I’ve always been a fan of Salt Lake Magazine. They do a beautiful spread and great online content about my hometown. I’ve started writing for their online ‘Farm to Table’ blog about local food, farmers, sips and the other exciting…
I tend toward food obsessions. I’ll go through a stage where I eat persimmons and nothing but. Or chiles. Or I go mad-scientist making shrubs. Since we are officially into fall, this will likely be my last semifreddo recipe for the year. I wanted to make it something special and…
We recently cleaned out our garden for the end of the season and found a not so little surprise. We actually went most of the season without any zucchini, weird I know, but it happened. While cleaning out our plot, I came across a large zucchini. And of course, once the…
It’s here. The season where we all collectively don sweaters and sip soup. Also known as the season when my body is convinced that I should be hibernating rather than being productive. I love sweaters and soup, but it means that I need a strong incentive to climb out of…

By now, I’m sure you think I’ve appointed myself as the personal prophetess of the almighty Hatch Chile. And what an appointment it would be. I can’t help myself… I just get a little chile fever and have to share. You’ve seen me go through persimmon obsessions and semifreddo phases.…
So, first things first – this is our 100th post. I’ll just take a moment and give myself a mental pat on the back. We’ve made it a long way from our first post … Moving on. I get giddy over Hatch Chile season. I look forward to it for weeks,…
Over the weekend I ended up at an impromptu girls night in. We ended up gathered around a table with simple appetizers. Don’t all gatherings, at least the good ones start around a table? It was one of those perfect nights. Warm, but not too warm right at the golden…
