Bacon Basil Cornbread Muffins
This started off with such an innocent thought: I haven’t had cornbread in a while… but i am thinking about making Bacon Basil Cornbread Muffins today From there my mind wandered to the mound of fresh corn in my fridge. Well I should definitely add some of that. But I can’t JUST add corn. What else… […]

Sometimes you make something once and know that you’ll never try any other version of it; it’s just too perfect to stray from.

Cacao Nib Caramels
As soon as I poured this caramel hotness into its cooling vessel, I could only think one thing: “I’ve made a huge mistake.” (Props to my fellow Arrested Development fans) Not that I messed up the recipe or anything, I just knew I was on track to eat way too many of these caramels. The […]
Charred Corn Salad
Let’s consider this step one of incorporating real food back into my diet. A week of awesome vacationing/eating in San Diego was directly followed by a week of sickness/sleeping, during which the most solid food I ate was an antibiotic.

Cheesy Lemon Thyme Popcorn
Oh popcorn. What a long and tumultuous relationship we’ve had. Cheesy Lemon Thyme Popcorn are one of my favorite type to have 2-3 times each month.

Pan Seared Cod with Rainbow Chard
I have some partially completed projects floating around right now: An advertisement that’s finished in my mind, but not on my computer screen. A pile of merely thumbed through magazines sitting next to the new ones that won’t stop arriving. A stack of manuals for a new camera that I made a weak attempt at starting. […]
