I have five words words for you. The perfect Super Bowl food. This recipe is also from How Sweet It Is. I told you I really like this blog. There are a ton of inspiring recipes including these cheesy Mozzarella stuffed meatball sliders. We served these for football watching on Sunday, and they couldn't have gone over better. We've started...

Pomegranate Bistro in Redmond has become our new favorite brunch spot out here. We went with some neighbors on their high recommendation, and let me just say we were blown away. We've been back again since and are already planning another trip soon. We might be obsessed. The first time we went when they were serving their Autumn menu. We began...

I find the name for this dip amusing. With two vegetables in the name it has to be healthy, right? Spinach and artichoke dip is really a misnomer. The name should really be cream cheese and sour cream and mozzarella dip, as the spinach and artichokes are really secondary to all of that creamy, fatty goodness. Perhaps by calling it spinach and...

Given our love for guacamole, I think it's about time we added it, or something like it, to pasta. This recipe we created is reminiscent of guacamole (thanks to some fresh lime juice) dumped on a bunch of pasta except that it is a little lighter and a lot smoother. But it still has all of the refreshing avocado flavor whacking you in the head...

Yes, I know Christmas and eggnog season have passed. The Christmas decorations are long packed away, but we did have a small carton of eggnog hiding at the back of our fridge that didn't expire until the end of January. There was no way I could throw that carton away, so we've been using it as coffee creamer. Just a dash of eggnog in coffee is...

Even though winter is the best time for citrus fruit, citrus fruits are just so refreshing that they make me think of summer and sitting on a beach someplace tropical. I guess citrus fruits this time of year allow me to sit holed up in my warm apartment pretending I'm someplace warm. Right now I think I'll picture myself in the crystal clear...

I really like the whole Meatless Monday concept. Replace one meat-filled meal a week with a vegetarian option to reduce meat consumption (and saturated fat) in order to focus more on vegetables and whole grains. We don't necessarily do it every week, but we've definitely been eating more vegetarian meals as we become more adventurous in our...

How Sweet It Is has become one of my favorite food blogs. Every time I go there, I see something delicious and drool-worthy I want to stuff my face with. This past week (while we were iced and snowed in, cooking like crazy) Dustin and I had a couple of dishes from this awesome blog on our menu. Today we'd like to talk about the caramelized...

I'm sitting here sipping my Maker's Mark bourbon reminiscing about our Bourbon Glazed Salmon from last night. Any good fish dish is always going to depend on the quality of the filet. And living up here in the Pacific Northwest, we're blessed with kickass seafood. Erin and I don't typically marinate our meats. The reason? It honestly comes down...

Dustin and I had a fantastic brunch one Saturday morning last summer soon after we moved out here at Lot No. 3. I've been wanting to go back to get the delicious lemon ricotta pancakes I ate that morning, but alas we got busy trying different restaurants and their seasonal menu changed, dropping the lemon ricotta pancakes for pumpkin...
