Sweet Baked Acorn Squash

This squash is so decadently buttery and sweet that it is difficult to believe that it is not dessert. We owe our sweet neighbor our gratitude for supplying us fresh, organic acorn squash lovingly plucked from her garden. She has ignited a squash passion in our house and this dish has become a nightly delight.

Winter Chard

A delicious, healthy side dish.

Peanut Butter Fudge

Rich and delicious.

Triple Thick Chocolate Shake

Heirloom Tomato Salad

This is an easy recipe created out of an abundance of mint, basil, and tomatoes in our garden each late summer. I love how gorgeous thickly sliced heirlooms look on a plate. We often pair this with Ray's grilled pizza and a bottle of wine. Perfect, simple dinner with friends on a lovely Portland evening.

Sweet Strawberry Mice

A cute treat for the little ones:)

Mother in Law Lentils

A super-easy, inexpensive and nutritious way to celebrate the humble lentil. My mother in law used to make these for my husband when he was a child, hence the name.

Pasta alla Puttanesca

Pasta alla puttanesca is a spicy, tangy, salty dinner that is fairly quick and easy to make. The original dish calls for black olives and sardines, but I loose the sardines and add in tangy green olives to give the dish a kick.

Almond Milk

Super basic almond milk recipe. You can vary the liquid depending on how thick you want it.
