I grew up skiing in Deer Valley and have memories of the world’s best hot apple cider served across all the dining spots on the mountain. For me, hot apple cider is nostalgic so this spiced slow cooked hot apple cider has a special place on my holiday menu. As I grew up I’d serve […]

Holidays always call for classic comfort treats and make in advance–no fuss creations like these pumpkin snickerdoodles, that leave you time to enjoy family and friends. Snickerdoodles are a simple cookie that get rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked just perfectly so there’s no crunch, just soft, chewy deliciousness. As always these are gluten free […]

I’ve never really met anyone who doesn’t love M&Ms or chocolate chip cookies, so this combo is a classic winner. I’m pretty religious about only ever serving chewy cookies (I just never understood crunchy cookies personally)–so, not over baking these is essential so that they stay nice and soft.

We live in a world of great challenge and disagreement right now but at least we can all agree that everything is good about pumpkin and caramel right?

Here’s a peek into the process: First, I steam the cauliflower briefly so it’s soft enough to smash […]

Chocolate and peanut butter is always a good idea and when you add “easy” into the mix you’ve scored the perfect dessert choice. Chocolate peanut butter bars are so versatile-pile them up with some berries and other treats on a platter for dessert or keep them in the freezer for a after school treat for […]

This summer we embarked on a journey into the wild. My adventure seeking husband has dreamt of kayaking the middle fork of the salmon river for some time and while it took some convincing for me to sleep in a tent for 5 days, I did finally say yes. We’ve been home from our camping […]

The last time I made my Frozen Watermelon Mojito the crowd went a little wild. The combination of watermelon and mint screams a bit of a party, doesn’t it? With natural sugars from the watermelon and a refreshing contrast of lime and mint, this one’s definitely a winner. Serve it up at your next party while it’s still […]
