Happy Monday! How was your weekend? On Saturday we packed up the kids and drove to Leavenworth, WA. It's a little Bavarian town in the middle of the mountains and we had such a great time. Perfect weather, great food and beer, and gorgeous views. I hope your weekend was just as fun! Last week a friend of mine asked if we wanted to come to her house to pick raspberries from the overabundance that she has in her backyard. Of course I jumped at the opportunity! Lleyton spent most of the time ... continue reading...
Thai Kale Salad with Quinoa
I haven't always been a big fan of kale in salads. It's very tough, and sometimes bitter, and ultimately eating the salad just feels a little "too healthy" and tastes a little bit sad. But not this salad! The key is to take some of the dressing and massage it into the kale before adding the other vegetables. It softens the kale and takes out the bitterness. Kevin and I both had seconds of this salad for dinner. The dressing in this Thai kale salad with quinoa is packed with flavorful ingredients ... continue reading...
Caramelized Onion Dip
For our first two and half years together in Washington, Kevin and I lived in Tacoma. Some people think Tacoma has a bad reputation, but I'm convinced these people have never actually been there.

Buffalo Chicken Caesar Salad
Summertime calls for quick and easy dinners with minimal oven time, am I right? This salad is a spicy take on the classic chicken Caesar and so delicious. The homemade dressing is super easy and quick to whip up. I know that traditional caesar dressing calls for anchovy paste, but I left it out and found that the dressing doesn't even need it! Most of the other ingredients for the dressing you may already have on hand, making it even easier to throw together. If anchovy paste is your jam and you ... continue reading...
Berry Almond Butter Crisp
I love farmers markets, and the town where we live has an especially good one! This past weekend I took my older son, Lleyton, to the farmers market while my younger son was home napping. I scored 4 pints of strawberries that were picked the day before, instead of fresh that morning, for just $5. I knew that with strawberries that ripe and sweet, they needed to be enjoyed immediately. Lleyton showed he felt the same way and was happy to snag a few from the box himself. This is the first ... continue reading...
