This past year was a wild ride. So wild in fact that I am still catching my breath! Here are a few of the adventures: I started writing about local food for Salt Lake Magazine‘s Farm to Table blog. You can find links to my 2015 articles HERE. Our recipes…
The Creamiest Roasted Cauliflower Soup – Without the Cream
It’s here. The season where we all collectively don sweaters and sip soup. Also known as the season when my body is convinced that I should be hibernating rather than being productive. I love sweaters and soup, but it means that I need a strong incentive to climb out of…
Buttery Hatch Chile Steamed Mussels
Over the weekend I ended up at an impromptu girls night in. We ended up gathered around a table with simple appetizers. Don’t all gatherings, at least the good ones start around a table? It was one of those perfect nights. Warm, but not too warm right at the golden…
Tomahawk Steak w/ Coconut Oil Compound ‘Butter’
I had never met a tomahawk steak until a few weeks ago. Quickly I was faced with the question of ‘where have you been all my life?’ A tomahawk steak is basically a thick-cut, bone in ribeye steak, with the entire rib bone intact. The bone is frenched, removing the meat…
Simple Asian Duck Noodle Stir Fry
I recently came across this recipe for Soy Sauce Noodles from a pair of my favorite bloggers – the team from Love and Olive Oil. I had their recipe in mind as spring rolled into summer and a happy duo of unusual ingredients found their way *somehow* into my shopping…

Dutch Oven BBQ Chicken
One of my favorite camp meals was always Dutch Oven BBQ Chicken. It is seriously easy, and everyone loves it. You can go the ridiculously easy route and just pick up a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce on your way to your camp site, but that’s not nearly as…
Dutch Oven Moroccan Chicken Stew
I still have camping on the brain apparently and this week I wanted to bring you the next course in your camping meal. It may be a little more fancy than the basic camping fare you are used to, but it is still pretty simple. A little prep before might…
Sopa Seca (Mexican ‘Dry’ Soup)
Greg came home from work a couple of weeks ago when I was putting the finishing touches on this recipe and taking the last photos for this post. He walked in, said “That smells good. What are you making?” My response was “Dry Soup.” I should have offered a little…
Sopa de Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup)
This is a family recipe if there ever was one – I’ve shared another one this week HERE. I wish I could trace the full genealogy of this soup and how it developed. As far as I can gather, this is how it went: It was born from a Mexican…
