Summer Berry Pudding
Before my husband and I were married, one of our first dates was a canoe trip. We had planned to have a picnic on one of the giant-flat rocks that sat in the middle of the river – it would be the first time I would prepare food for my then boyfriend …so I wanted to impress. I packed a bottle of wine, made a pesto and caprese panini, spiced-nuts trail mix, and for dessert I made Summer Berry Pudding. The dessert was super simple to make, packed up easily into the dry-bag of the canoe, and it definitely impressed. He asked me out on another date and a year later we were married – I’d like to think the picnic had something to do it.

Spiced Trail Mix Popcorn
Hello there! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m giving you a back-to-back post this week because I’m driving to Oregon to go camping for 4 days. In preparation for the excursion, I made this Spiced Trail Mix Popcorn which has a kick of heat paired with the saltiness of nuts, and the sweetness of chocolate – perfect for noshing at the campsite, picnic, or even movie-night on the couch. Enjoy!

Edamame and Radish Crostini
Everywhere I look, I’m seeing green. With the abundance of rain we’ve received recently in the San Francisco Bay Area, all of those brown hills have turned green (50 shades of green as my husband jokes). In the morning, the fog hangs around the tops of the hills and it reminds me of the rolling pastures in Ireland. […]

Ramen in just 30 minutes?! Oh hell yes! Ok, so it’s not ‘ramen’ per se. Ok, ok, ok… it’s not ramen at all. But it’s certainly ramen-esque. Believe me, if anyone could live on ramen, it’s me. As a fan, I have made my own alkaline noodles, purchasing potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate solution (an alkaline […]
