Remember me posting about how excited I was about attending Feast Portland about a week or so ago. Well I can’t wait to share some of my favorite photos of food I tried in the next post. But for now I will share a bit about my new kitchen appliances from Wolf Gourmet. I got to work with…
BREAKFAST
Chocolate-Cardamom Banana Waffles
One of my favorite treats to make for my kids are waffles, and I don’t only make them for breakfast, sometimes it’s an after dinner treat. I decided to kick these up a few notches and make them special. I added some really good quality cocoa powder and my favorite spice, cardamom.
turkey & brie puff pastry pockets
Lately I have been trying to keep our meals during the week quick and simple for my family. This simple pop tart recipe is easy to make and fun to involve kids too. I always keep a box or two of frozen puff pastry in my freezer for last minute meal ideas like this pop…
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB MUFFINS
The weather in Portland has been so beautiful lately, which means the abundance of berries are starting to show up everywhere along with the bounty of rhubarb. So the perfect marriage of strawberry and rhubarb inspired this recipe for the tasty and moist muffins that will make your house smell just amazing. These are so simple…
SMOKED SALMON BENEDICT ON CROISSANT with DILL-PAPRIKA-LEMON HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

I decided to put together two of my favorite things and make this eggs benedict on a croissant instead, topped…

Cardamom, Blueberry, Cream Cheese Croissant French Toast Casserole
My husband and I spent the evening last night in bed after we put the kids down watching funny videos and food videos on BuzzFeed, then woke up craving french toast for breakfast. I went to get the ingredients from my local Fred Meyers. I usually get Challah bread and make individual french toast, but…
Vegan Strawberry + Avocado Smoothie
I’m working on a few recipe developments for Fred Meyers using Strawberries + Avocados. Excited to share this Vegan Strawberry + Avocado smoothie. I wanted to add some beautiful colors and super foods to make this a great morning pick me up. It’s a versatile smoothie to add to your recipe box by making two smoothies in one. This…
PICKLED VEGGIES
I love anything pickled. And one of my favorite condiments to pickle are cucumbers, radishes, daikon and carrots and so much more. So I just love this Mexican version with spicy jalapeños and cilantro. These pickled vegetables are so addictive I found myself snacking on them straight from the jar and I am almost finished with the…
