Yup... from last weeks post, you’re probably thinking this is a big step down. I was inspired by game, balanced cooking, Swedish and French cooking. I was and still am, but I want to be honest about this journey as well. Which means being honest about time and about the things I’m learning to balance.… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer

Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
If you read my other posts you know that I went to the book store recently... Well I got a cookbook.

It’s about Swedish/ Norwegian cooking in… Continue reading Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
Another first for me... making Quinoa. Which I’ll tell you now, I will be doing again. Love this grain in general, I’ve just been too lazy in the kitchen to diverge from rice. Mango, Avocado, and Black-bean Quinoa bowl. Also featuring red onion, fresh cilantro, and a lime honey olive oil dressing of sorts. Sliced… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: Quinoa Bowl
Adventures in Cooking: Tofu and the Carry on

Through Style I’ll … build a mood board and then some.
Maybe you heard of Polyvore. A site, then app used to make mood boards, collections, art, and more. I was a huge fan in middle and high school.
