Thanksgiving is right around the corner (how is this possible?). One would think I would have started planning a bit sooner, but there is wood to stack and a cozy couch with blankets just waiting to be lounged upon with a good book. ;) So, that being said, here's an easy peasy way to save at least a little time on all that Thanksgiving prep work - skillet stuffing!! Living in the Gorge we are lucky enough to have access [...]
Initially, I wanted to call these, Leave-Me-Alone-These-Are-Mine Bars, but that seemed rude. When finally, I could use my words again and was willing to share, my family and I agreed that that we would be making these again ASAP! What could be better than an amazingly chocolaty, perfectly chewy brownie paired with a fudgy peanut butter-y layer (think reese's peanut butter cups) and topped with even more chocolate? Nothing. Except maybe that it's also gluten free! A quick note on the brownie [...]
Happy Pride! June is Pride Month, when the LGBTQ communities of the world come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves. Though Pride is celebrated with parades, festivals, and big parties, it is so much more: it is rooted in the arduous history of minority groups who have fought to overcome prejudice and be accepted for who they are. Pride events celebrate the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) Community and are geared toward anyone who feels [...]
Like any good millennial, I spent Memorial Day Weekend at a music festival - three days full of great music, camping, and 12,000 other people. Saquatch! Music Festival is an annual event held at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA. The beloved music venue dramatically overlooks the Columbia Gorge; creating a stunning, magical backdrop for artists to groove in front of. Sasquatch! was started in 2002 after touring festivals had petered out and regional festivals became the popular choice. [...]
Some days you just need a burger! And if today is one of those days for you...well, I'm right there with you. I love a good veggie burger. Who doesn't?! They're hearty, filling, and you can pack them with goodness. Plus, anything that requires it be served with french fries is a win in my book. This veggie burger is tender but not mushy, incredibly flavorful and delightfully cheesy. The ingredients are nourishing and offers complete nutrition; it comes [...]
I could eat veggie burgers every day. Delicious, filling, and nourishing, the right veggie burger can really help you get the most out of your day.

I'm going to be honest here: I spend a lot of time thinking about pie. I think about different types of fillings and fun new combinations, I think about how to optimize the deliciousness, and I think about how to bring something new to the crust game. Even the most simple pie can be absolutely stunning, and it can be as easy as a few cut outs or a little crimping on the crust! One of the absolute most simple [...]
What's not to love about October? The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and all I want to do is stay inside and bake delicious treats. Last week, I visited the local pumpkin patch and was so inspired by the natural bounty of the season. I know pumpkin gets a lot of flack for being everywhere in the fall, but I can't help but look forward to finding new and interesting ways to incorporate it! This pumpkin cream cheese [...]
