I don’t do a lot of baking. I don’t have the patience for perfect measurements, dough that needs to rise, and I don’t even own an electric mixer. But sometimes, you realize it’s mid-summer, there’s strawberries everywhere and rhubarb everywhere, and your boyfriend – ever so sweetly – starts hinting (daily) that his favorite pie [...]

I’ve always wanted to be the kind of person who makes their own jams and preserves and other pretty little things that fit in pretty little jars.

Baked Eggs with Parmesan Kale and Cream

July 7, 2011

While I know the Internet is a wonderful and vast land of recipes and photos galore… I’m still a sucker for a good actual cookbook. Paper pages. Hard cover. Glossy photos. I could spend days in just the cookbook section of any bookstore or library. When I was last in Minnesota, Miranda (my sister) and [...]

This photo was taken this past Friday, on a day spent wine-tasting and frolicking (give or take a skip) through McMinnville, Oregon (and surrounding areas, as this is in Dayton), while my parents were in town for the weekend. Best wine? My vote goes to Walnut City WineWorks. Best scenery? Domaine Serene, as you can [...]
