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.

Swiss Chard and Parmesan Pasta
I'm a huge fan of Swiss chard, for a few reasons.

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...
Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Kebabs
Happy 4th of July! Are you firing up the grill today? I hope you are! And if you don't have plans for what to cook yet, these chicken kebabs are for you. A few hours of marinating and a few minutes of cooking and you have a delicious dinner ready to go.
