I read an article in one of the local magazines about how to make an amazing strawberry shortcake using ginger biscuits from a Seattle bakery, which sounded pretty tasty to me. But with my dessert list quite lengthy already, the copious amounts of baking I've been doing over the last few weeks, and the fact that this particular bakery is located...

I love cooking homestyle breakfasts before work. This one was an intense amount of work with explosive flavor and all it required was 30 minutes. This breakfast quesadilla consists of a few delicious ingredients: Homemade hash browns Thick-cut applewood smoked bacon Sunny-side up eggs Green chile tortillas Tomatillo salsa Monterrey...

Wednesday afternoon I went to Dustin's weekly team lunch to meet his boss and his coworkers that I regularly bake for. I'm very well known around the office for all of the baked goods he bring in. Naturally I had to bring some sort of dessert to this get together. I honestly feel like I can't go anywhere without bringing dessert these days. I...

This dish was supposed to be over a bed of wild rice, but I got so focused on making the chutney and Dustin was so focused on the fish that we both totally forgot to get the rice on the stove at an appropriate time. By the time we did remember, it would have completely thrown our timing for the rest of the dinner off, so we had a simple meal of...

Halibut dinner number two was another delicious one. I think halibut goes well with just about everything, including a delicious corn and black bean salsa that we put on top. To make the salsa, combine 1/2 of a large, diced red onion, with 1 fresh tomato, 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño and cilantro, 1/2 can of drained black beans, a...

As you may have heard from Erin, Game of Thrones finally came back. We've been waiting for our Season 3 premiere since last year and were getting incredibly excited for the food, drinks, and TV. Even though our neighbors were out of town and we had to push the viewing party back a week, we couldn't help but contain our excitement. We had drinks...

Fresh, first-of-the-season halibut has been hitting Seattle. Last weekend, our Whole Foods had a generous one day sale on halibut, so we bought several meals worth of fish and plan on making it a halibut week in this house and cook it several different ways. Might as well eat as much fresh fish as we can while we live here, right? It had also...

This dessert doesn't look like much in the pictures, but trust me, it is rich and luxurious— doughnut in thick, rich, liquid form. There is a "molecular gastronomy" restaurant in Chicago called Moto that pioneered the idea of doughnut soup. Ever since I heard about it, I've been wanting to recreate it at home. Since the weather will (hopefully)...

Apparently, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. I randomly heard (or probably read) that somewhere the other day. I think it's kind of silly how practically every food has it's own month or day, and we mostly definitely didn't plan these sandwiches because of National Grilled Cheese Month. It was just a happy coincidence. We like to...

I really haven't been intending to bake this much. I promise we haven't gained a million pounds as a result. But I've just been feeling very antsy lately with my big decision made. I feel in this weird state of limbo now. Baking is one of the few things keeping me entertained at the moment (besides my sweet Bonnie), so I'll enjoy these last few...
