Just over a year ago, I returned to the 9-5 work week and my weekends opened up for the first time in years. I rediscovered time for family, friends, and what seemed like a normal life once again. It has been great reconnecting, however, I also took a little detour from blogging. It’s quite wonderful to be back, and I hope you all are doing very well. Curious as to what we’ve been up to since our last post? Well, […]

For those of you who think Jake and I are that crazy couple that stopped eating grains, sugar, and processed foods (gasp!) years ago, you’re going to think we really fell of our rocker this time. Please allow us to introduce you to our new favorite and deliciously decadent treat, Hot Buttered Coffee. Until today, we’ve been happily drinking our coffee with grass-fed heavy cream, but, based on a recent post Jake discovered by Dave Asprey (aka the Bulletproof Executive), we decided […]

Slow cooked, one-pot meals are simply the best. Fresh ingredients, a variety of vibrant colors, and that slow-building aroma that fills the house all day long?? It’s priceless! My Chicken No-Noodle Soup is a great weekend favorite of ours. Start it in the morning, and feel free to let it simmer super low all day long (though it can be ready in as fast as about 3 hours, including prep time). Or, more my style these days – start it […]

Asparagus is a delicious, easy veggie and the fern-colored spears add a touch of elegance alongside any of your favorite proteins. I consider this little treasure of a recipe our “A-List Asparagus” because the simple addition of nutmeg and lemon elevates it to a superstar status. You could invite Robert Downey Jr. (or your A-List star of choice) over and feel proud serving this dish. I love that it’s still super easy, so as not to frazzle you while under […]

So… our slow cooker died recently, which was indeed a tragedy, but also the perfect excuse to dust off our Dutch Oven we’d purchased awhile back. Slow-roasting something in the oven is just slightly different from using a countertop slow cooker, so I thought I’d share our favorite Dutch Oven Pot Roast recipe with you. Now you have a variety ways to cook pot roast under your belt! We discovered this recipe from the well-known Pioneer Woman. Thank you, Ree! […]

One of the things we have missed most from our past life involving processed food is Caesar Salad. It seemed that only great-tasting caesar dressings existed in restaurants or bottles on the grocery store shelf. Inspired this past Thanksgiving to track down a delicious home-made recipe (quality control, you know), Jake found one that was a hit for us and all his family too. It involved coddling an egg, which was a term I’d never heard before, and a few […]

When Karen told me that Randy from Kleinfeld Bridal in New York helped her find her gown, it all made perfect sense. You see, I watch Randy on Say Yes to the Dress help brides find their perfect gown quite often, and as soon as I saw Karen step into her Amsale gown, I just knew that it was a perfect match. She looked absolutely stunning, perfectly composed, ready to marry the man of her dreams. Karen and Derek were married on a […]

He’s a New Yorker, megastar of social networking, and a big, big Sounders fan. She’s a New Mexican with a delicious sense of style and taste. Together, as Seattleites, they’re a force to be reckoned with, projecting more endless good energy you just can’t get enough of. Their friends are addicted to them, and their families built from strong ties of love. Bring them all together beneath one roof at the Edgewater and good times are sure to erupt. A […]

Hi Friends! I hope you have been having a wonderful summer! While I certainly have been enjoying the Seattle sun these past few weeks, I must admit that I am very much looking forward to Autumn’s arrival. I have been craving a big dose of overcast skies, cooler air, and the perfect excuse to pull my beanie hats and Ugg boots from the closet… Jake and I have been eating a lot of the same things around here lately (which […]
