Mango and Grapefruit with Sweet Avocado Cream
A couple weeks ago, Jules and I were in Idaho visiting family. I made dinner one night - roasted potatoes and crispy pork belly- and I knew it was gonna sit pretty heavy. See, the difference between a "meh" meal and a great meal, is the way each course builds on each other, and how […]

Pan-Seared Halibut with Coconut Curry Broth
So something about me - I love seafood. Like, it could possibly rival smoked barbecue ribs for my favorite thing to eat, ever. Unfortunately, I live in ol' land-locked Utah and fresh seafood is not only difficult to find, but abnormally expensive when you do find it. That's why I'm always looking for a "special […]

A Shrimp Boil Dinner Party (and Recipe!)
I ended yesterday's new-chandelier post proclaiming, "bring on the well-lit dinner parties!" and we wasted no time doing that. Last night, we had a couple good friends over for a shrimp boil--a low-key and out-of-this-world flavorful dinner that requires one pot and zero plates. Which I la-hove, because since Chris is the chef around here […]

Ch-ch-changes with a side of Spaghetti (Squash) and (Turkey) Meatballs
It's no secret we are doers 'round here. Every day, in our list of things that needs to get done, we also have a slightly shorter list of projects that we would like to get done. Checking these things off has not only fed us with non-stop daily blogging material to feed your DIY eyes, […]
