So the last week or so has been crazy, I have had two job interviews, our landlord is installing new cabinets, I had to go to some family events–all of which has caused me to neglect my little corner of the internet here. But I am back on track with a super summery recipe! I … Continue reading Fish Tacos with Pineapple Avocado Salsa

Swap the cheddar for some chevre and brie, mix some herbs … Continue reading Herby Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Brie & Chevre
I think most people have a not-so-secret love affair with crusty, fresh, artisan bread. The crusty loaf is responsible for many delicious sandwiches and many diet sabotagings. Unfortunately, I have noticed a very unsettling myth about bread: that it’s hard to make. This is so far from the truth; not only is bread easy to … Continue reading Crusty Mini Breads
