There are a few things I have a pretty good handle on, culinarily speaking. Ham is one of them. I know how to make a ham! But the flavors of my glaze change with the season, and this one is perfect for Spring. Pitcher | Copper Canisters | Marble Bowl | Ginger Jar | Vase | […]
Deviled eggs–you either love 'em or hate 'em. I'd say I'm in the "for" category, emphatically - especially with these babies. Smoked salmon and egg is a great pair, and with all the other flavors, it balances perfectly and will really surprise and delight anyone you make them for. Vase | Pendant | Table | […]
Easter is just around the corner and I've been testing out different recipes for our Easter dinner menu. These grilled carrots are the star side dish, appropriately so. But let's be honest, I would eat these as a side any day. Gingham Napkin | Porcelain Bunny | Pepper Mill | Faux Artichokes | Marble Bowl […]
I'm not typically a smoothie guy. I prefer to eat my calories rather than drink them, but not with this mango smoothie. I was wanting something a bit sweeter, a bit tangier, so I whipped up this mango, citrus & coconut smoothie to curb the craving! There's also just a hint of ginger, but it's […]
I've been trying to get creative with how I cook my vegetables, so that I want to eat more vegetables. Hence the shaved asparagus! Not everyone is a fan of asparagus, but if you haven't tried them in this noodle-like form you might really like them! I prepared them with some of my favorite asian-inspired […]

Let me tell you, this is not the shepherd's pie you grew up with. Technically it's actually a cottage pie since it's made with ground beef rather than lamb (I also added pork sausage but we'll get to that). All I'm saying is that if you're looking for a cottage pie, reinvented with elevated flavors, […]
Last week I shared a recipe for my chipotle chickpea crunch, a kickin' condiment I've been putting on everything these days. So good. I wanted to share one of the several thousand ways it can be used, paired with an ingredient some people aren't big fans of–mushrooms. Mixing Bowl | Tongs | Knife | Pot […]
Chili Crisp is having a huge moment right now. If you're unfamiliar, chili crisp is a condiment made of chilis, oil, usually garlic and a variety of things depending on who's making it. It's rich, deep, and seriously addictive. Lantern Pendant | Dining Table | Plates | Flatware | Art | Cloth Napkin I love chili crisp. […]
OXO Containers | Tiered Stand | Spice Jars | Wood Baskets | Glass Canisters | Wood Turntable The pantry has been getting some love on Instagram, both on the outside and inside! Along with all of the excitement, I've been getting a lot of questions about what foods we keep in our pantry, so I thought it […]
You probably won’t make this dish. It has beets in it, so why would you make this dish? Your mom used to make you eat beets, straight from the can, mushy and bright red. So, beets are gross. Right? Fluted Bowl | Ginger Jar | Honey Pot | Glass Carafe You probably won’t make this dish, […]
There aren't many foods I enjoy more than fried chicken, though it's obviously not so great for you. But what's life without a little give and take?! For example, batter the chicken, make it gluten/dairy/egg/grain free. Fry the chicken, but opt for lettuce wraps. Something I think gets lost among those of us without food […]
Fish with lemon pepper seasoning was a staple of my childhood. Growing up in Idaho, all summer long we'd dine on fresh-caught river trout, cooked in a pan with that familiar shaker of McCormmick lemon pepper (still one of my favorite things to have for breakfast). But year round, the same would be applied to […]
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's (a thyroid autoimmune disease) about 7 years ago. Although, I have been on medication ever since, my body does not respond to medication alone. I have to get blood work done every 8 weeks and have to eat a pretty strict diet to keep my numbers in check. I mostly […]
Everyone has their game-day snack, and this one is mine. During the summer these are amazing on the Traeger, but winter in Idaho doesn't always cooperate so this is my alternate - all you need is an oven. You can use whatever your favorite bbq sauce is, but if you're looking to try something new, […]
So many diets out there, it's so nice when you come across something that is safe for just about all of them. Chimichurri is one such thing. Chimichurri is a condiment made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil (and a few other things) that is amazing on meats and vegetables alike. I add fresh […]
Every so often, a flavor combination comes along that makes you tilt your head and squint your eyes, as you wonder, "Would that really be good?" This smoothie is like that, but it catches you off guard and is so delicious. A few great things about this smoothie - it's dairy free, grain and gluten […]
Salad doesn't always feel "wintery" to me, but once the holidays pass and my body can't take anymore sugar, I just need something fresh. But I also like to eat seasonally, when I can. Serving Platter This Winter Salad features a lot of vegetables (root and otherwise), shaved super thin, and dressed in a sweet […]
You know that friend with the dietary restrictions? Well guess what. They actually love treats! Of course they do - don't you? Food restrictions can be rough, especially during the holidays when you can't have all the things that maybe you used to. Or having kids with restrictions and wishing you could just give them something […]
Crab dip isn't inherently "holiday," but it's always just been that way for me growing up. I don't ever remember having it any other time of year, even though I love it so much. Now that our diets have shifted, I love taking old favorites and making versions our entire family can enjoy. And boy, […]
