Thumbnail image for Review | Snackle Mouth All-Natural Granola Nut Clusters

I’m a sucker for sweet and salty snacks. Chocolate-covered pretzels have lonnnnng been one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Anytime you can pair cream cheese with jam, I’m sold. Sweet and salty. Sweet and savory. Get in my face. I recently had the chance to taste a new Boulder-based snack that fits into this “snackable [...]

I recently attended a wine-tasting event at Taste on 23rd in NW Portland. The wine bar and bottle shop featured wines from French winemaker, Gregoire Pissot. The event was awesome, and the shop has become one of my favorite places to enjoy a glass of wine. There’s a certain feeling of walking into a friend’s [...]

Winner announced! Congrats, Manda – entry #8! I have this belief that the preference for either cooking or baking over the other one is an indication of personality. For instance, the best bakers I know are typically Type A, Control Freak types who looooooove doing things with perfection and precision. I envy their attention to [...]

Dining Out: Instagram-Style

March 13, 2012

This poor, poor neglected food blog. What’s that saying about how the cobbler’s kids have no shoes? I’ve been so busy lately working on other people’s blogs, consulting, and creating new products that this sweet little food blog of mine has been sadly neglected. This is just a quick little wave and “I’m still here!” [...]

Healthy eating does not mean a lot of extra time in the kitchen. In fact, this healthy lunch (lunch!) only took about 20 minutes.

Pears are all over the place here in Oregon, and they’re a favorite of mine, especially for dessert! I think cooking peaches and pears really brings out the sweetness and flavor and makes for a better-for-you sweet treat, as well. Pears also pair (ha…) well with cheese. And I love cheese, so here’s what I [...]

I eat kale all the time. My favorite way to eat kale is to sauté it, but I’ll eat it in a salad, with baked eggs, in soup, and will even drink it in Green Monster-style smoothie-form. Kale is a staple in this house, a regular grocery store item. I spent the last two weeks [...]
