I'm really enjoying this autumn season, the leaves are changing colors, the air is chilled, so over the weekend one thing I didn't want to miss was the Japanese Garden here in Portland, I had read it's best viewed in the fall and it is a magnificent garden.
Read MoreIndigo Rose Tomatoes. This is a tomato to get excited about. It tastes as good as it looks and might even have better nutritional value to boot! This is one of the finds at the PSU farmers market this past week.
Read MoreWell here I am in Portland Oregon! The move went remarkably well and it feels really great to be here. This is my girl-meets-grill moment.
Read MorePeaches. Lentils. Jalapeño olive oil. Gorgonzola cheese. This whole recipe is a lot of clearing the refrigerator and cabinets out for the move next week.
Read MoreI've been wanting to make these for some time and was reminded of them on a recent trip to Big Sur, well not just a trip, it was our 10th wedding anniversary! It was very relaxing and mostly unplugged.
Read MoreI love these Padron peppers. I only just discovered them a year ago. I was at the Ferry Building farmer's market last summer browsing around and they caught my eye, the pepper guy
Read MoreI'm back from an east coast trip visiting family and friends and no doubt it had been too long. It felt great to reconnect. This was our first trip out of California since we moved here nearly 2 years ago.

Quite different than the east coast where a 1 hour drive can take you through 3 different states
Read MoreIt seems my head is still stuck in Petaluma, or at least nearby Santa Rosa. Last weekend we had a chance to stop by Matanzas Creek Winery for a picnic lunch. This is a great boutique winery we visit any time we're up in Sonoma, they grow lavender as well so it's especially nice in June when everything is in bloom. They have plenty of picnic spots so it makes for a great afternoon to bring some sandwiches and pick up a bottle of wine, and they have the most beautiful live oak trees on the property.
Read MoreI really love this soup. We made it quite a while ago when Bea's book "La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an Inspired Life" first came out. I've had vegetarian soups before that were ok but not great, and this one is quite tasty so it was not forgotten.
Read MoreI've been craving roasted almonds recently so I started digging around for a good recipe, I wasn't sure about sweet or savory so when I asked Jeff if he had a preference and replied "yes", both it will be, so this is blog post part one of the roasted almond adventure.
