Sour Cream & Onion Baked Eggs (recipe) The first time I ate these baked eggs, I was with family up in Washington. I sat at the kitchen counter drinking coffee and watching my uncle as he cracked eggs into a pan and sprinkled them with salt and pepper, sour cream, shredded cheese, and green onions. That's it. Nothing fussy. Nothing fancy. He slid the pan into the oven and 20 minutes later we were all dying over something so simple but so crazy delicious. It was like a magic trick. We watched him do every step, but the ending was still a happy surprise. I now serve them to pretty much every single overnight guest in our home. They might have to Keep Reading
How to Flash Freeze Berries
How to Flash Freeze Berries One of the best ways to preserve the bounty of summer fruit is by flash freezing. This technique freezes the berries individually instead of bricks of rock hard fruit that are hard to identify, much less use, come January. Having sweet, frozen berries to use throughout the year in smoothies, milkshakes, pies, muffins, or coffee cake will make you feel so smart and prepared. Give your frugal self a pat on the back. Thankfully, flash freezing fruit is an incredibly simple process. First of all, wash, sort, and hull (remove the stems) the berries. Next, dry the berries. You want to get as much water off of Keep Reading
Watermelon Feta Mint Salad
Watermelon Feta Mint Salad Summertime is so close I can almost taste it. A few more weeks and we'll have kids in the sprinkler, burgers on the grill, tomatoes in the garden. And watermelons rolling in as fast as we can eat them. I don't mean to brag, but one of my life skills is picking out the perfect watermelon. I've only had a handful of bum ones in the last decade. I know everybody has their own routine in the produce department, sniffing-shaking-patting, but I personally stick to the heft and the thump. You want a melon that feels heavy and sounds hollow when you knock your knuckles on it. I learned it from my dad who learned it from his Keep Reading
Caprese Skillet Eggs (one-pan, gluten-free recipe)
Caprese Skillet Eggs (gluten-free recipe) Most of my summer afternoons are spent around our half-deflated kiddie pool. Four little bodies splash and shriek, while I watch behind my sunglasses and hold a magazine (I never actually read it, I just look at the same sentence over and over). Their life is pretty much the kid version of an all-inclusive resort. I am the nurse-lifeguard-chef-concierge. I'm not sure why 5 o'clock surprises me every single day, but it does. We're out by the pool, doing our thing, and suddenly all these little people think they are starving. I am out of snacks. It's time for dinner. Fast. This dish is one of those summer Keep Reading
How to Can Sweet Cherries {A Step-By-Step Guide}
After a few fun-filled days around the Fourth of July spent in Lyle, Washington last year, my little family headed over to Maryhill, Washington, land of vineyards, orchards, hot weather, and wind turbines. We had one thing on our minds: sweet cherries. My sisters had stopped by the Maryhill Fruit Stand earlier in the week. They kept talking about how they bought a bag of cherries and ate it before they even made it back to the car, the fruit was so sweet. U-pick was just $1 a pound (apricots, too). My husband and I had talked about picking cherries for years; we needed to track this place down. Pulling up to the fruit stand, the sign Keep Reading
White Bean Spread (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
White Bean Spread Recipe I started making this White Bean Spread recipe three years ago and haven't looked back. I could eat it with a spoon, on a house, with a mouse. You name it. It is so crazy delicious. If you aren't a big fan of hummus, you might prefer this variation. It has most of the same ingredients, simply swapping white beans for garbanzo beans and omitting tahini (sesame seed paste), which is a pretty strong flavor. Plus it's gluten-free and dairy-free! I've slightly simplified the original recipe from Heidi Swanson, who is one of my all-time favorite vegetarian food bloggers and cookbook authors. This recipe is light and healthy, Keep Reading
Huevos Rancheros recipe (Rancher’s Eggs)
Huevos Rancheros (Rancher's Eggs) For the past four months, my calendar has had Huevos Rancheros! scribbled across June 13th. This type of behavior no longer phases my husband. I have started circling these random inspirations so he doesn't get confused when trying to figure out what's we're doing on any given Thursday night. I wanted to share this recipe with you the second I ate it, but forced myself to wait until the week before Father's Day because my dad introduced me to this perfect dish. Now understand, my dad is not the master-chef type. He is more of an avoid-the-kitchen-unless-he-is-forced-to-fend-for-himself type. He is totally capable Keep Reading
