Cherry Lime Agua Fresca

As a little girl, one of my favorite treats was a cherry limeade. Sometimes when we visited my grandparents in Utah we would make a trip to Hires Big H, a great little Utah-based burger joint, that also happens to serve my all-time favorite cherry limeade. Other people loved going to Hires for their homemade […]

It’s picnic season! Are you as excited as I am? I love eating outdoors, whether it’s taking a picnic to the park, or sitting out in our backyard while Mr. Fuji grills up something amazing. Plus, we’ve got the Fourth of July coming up soon, which is a prime opportunity to serve a feast outside. […]

I am not a huge meat eater, with one exception—there is a huge pig-shaped spot in my heart—I love pork. Thankfully (unfortunately?) my friend Noriko understands. Last month we spent Spring Break in Japan, staying at Noriko’s house. Our kids had a blast spending every waking moment together, and are still bemoaning the fact that […]

I am currently neck-deep in preparations for cooking at a church girls’ camp the first week in June . . . let’s just say I haven’t been getting a whole lot of sleep. But it is going to be FUN and the food is going to be great (knock on wood)!!! Somehow I have to […]

“Ufurahie chakula chako!” (the Swahili equivalent of “Bon appétit”) is what you would hear if you happened to be lucky enough to pull up a seat at the dinner table in Miriam Kinunda’s home. Miriam, born and raised in Tanzania, a country located in the eastern part of Africa, is a blogger and owner of […]

If you had told me 6 months ago that a chocolate dessert that was free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars could be as decadent as its gluten, dairy, and refined sugar full counterpart, I would have politely nodded and totally not have believed you. But in the past few months I have taken my preconceived […]

*This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery Store. Last month I attended a blogger event, arranged by Rachael of Today’s Mamma, at the Bangerter Crossing Harmons Store. We started with a tour from Bob and Randy Harmon, and then finished up with a cooking class from Chef Kimberly Larsen at Harmon’s Cooking School.

I keep thinking that spring has arrived here in Utah, and then the weather will turn and we’ll get a new layer of snow on the ground. Mother Nature is such a tease. I’ve been watching the new issues of magazines show up on the newsstands, taunting me with spring flowers, and spring inspired dishes, […]
