There's a pretty popular layer dip of another nationality. You know the one I'm talking about. And while it's delicious, this appetizer takes layer dips to a new level. I love Mediterranean flavors: herbs, lemon, garlic, olive oil, yogurt, and hummus are all staples in my kitchen. Why not combine those flavors to make a delicious little snack? Serve this with pita bread, pita chips, or fresh veggies for a true crowd-pleaser. Or eat it with a spoon. I'm not going to judge you. I think as ... continue reading...
Lavender Lemon Scones
We have gorgeous summers here in the PNW, and I try to take advantage by spending some time outside with the boys every day. Every afternoon, right before dinner, we usually go for a walk. It's the calm before the craziness of dinner, baths, and bedtime for the kids and we all enjoy it. I usually take the same route every time and we walk on this street with dozens of lavender bushes. They always smell so good and last week I decided to pick a bunch (p.s. it's a public street, not ... continue reading...
Swiss Chard and Parmesan Pasta
I'm a huge fan of Swiss chard, for a few reasons.

Salmon Tacos with Mango Salsa
This may be bold to say, but I may prefer fish tacos to any other kind of tacos. Yep, I went there. My exposure to fish tacos was pretty limited until moving to Washington State, and then I had the mahi-mahi fish tacos from this restaurant down on the waterfront in Tacoma and I was a true convert. Something about the tender, well-seasoned fish, crunchy slaw, and sweet and spicy salsa in these tacos just reminds me of summer. Since the fish only has to cook for about 15 minutes, the ... continue reading...
Grilled Peaches with Balsamic Glaze
Grilled fruit is a revelation. Summer has the most amazing produce: stone fruits, tomatoes, berries, and so much more. Have you ever tried grilled fruit? Stone fruits and pineapple are especially good on the grill. The sugars caramelize and and add a delicious depth of flavor. Plus the warm fruit serves the perfect base for some ice cream! I think dinners on the grill are easy, so why not throw some fruit on the grill for a few minutes to make an easy dessert too? The balsamic glaze is ... continue reading...
