Dreamsicle Smoothie

If you think it’s hard to be a food blogger, I promise you that it’s harder to live with one.  We food bloggers are a rare breed of creativity and crazy in the kitchen, but those that love us and have to put up with us on a daily basis are really the ones thatContinue Reading

Sauteed Dandelion Greens

One of the things that I love most about this time of year is the bounty of fresh greens.  Everywhere you look at the farmers market, booths are exploding with baby kale, collards, perky lettuce, spinach, and dandelion greens.  Dandelion greens are a bitter green that, you guessed it, come from the dandelion plant.  (Yes,Continue Reading

Raw Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Without fail, there is always one weeknight when I don’t feel like cooking.  Even though I have a stash of quick dinners handy, I will find myself staring into the fridge and thinking that nothing sounds good.  My back-up plan in this unfortunate situation is to walk down to my local co-op and grab twoContinue Reading

I am so excited for summer this year and it feels like the sun can’t come fast enough.  But, it’s still spring here in the Pacific Northwest.  Luckily there is already an amazing mix of local produce available at the farmers market. For most of the year, we have an abundance of carrots and rootContinue Reading

Roasted Radishes and Greens

I’m not going to lie to you.  Sometimes it’s okay to eat your feelings.  Really, it is. And everybody does it on occasion… (right?!) Sometimes it’s okay to eat your feelings when you’re feeling under the weather because it’s grey in Seattle. Again.  In June.  And it’s pouring buckets of rain everywhere.  And you justContinue Reading
