Pork and Parsnip Hash for Cutco Fall Harvest + A Giveaway!

I love dishes that combine lots of little bits of everything. I get this love from my dad, whose style of cooking is to go into the kitchen and grab whatever he can find to create something to eat, whether it’s a sandwich, a salad, or what he calls “potage.” I recently received a “Fall Harvest […]

This post is brought to you by the California Avocado Commission. Last week we had an avocado-centric summer backyard BBQ party with some friends to celebrate the last day before school began for our kiddos. The get-together was enabled by my friends at the California Avocado Commission who sent us a California Avocado BBQ Party […]

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.

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, […]

Today is a special day in my family, for several reasons. It is Pi Day, or when it comes to my mom’s side of the family, Pi(e) Day. (My family is very fond of food celebrations, although International Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day may be the most popular). For the mathematicians of the family, it is the […]
