The Pescetarian and the Pig

Cinnamon Chocolate Cookies Dipped in Dark Chocolate I apologize for my absenteeism… I hope I can make it up to you with these amazing cookies. You see, the thing is, oh man, I’m full of excuses. Last week I was struck by 3 bugs. 3 bugs! And I don’t mean the cute, cuddly, 6 legged […]

Yin Yang Cookies.Harmony. Balance. Two wildly different things uniting to make something truly wonderful. The yin yang. This week has had a lot of the balancing act going on for me. For example: being a 5:30 am gym goer, but not wrapping a photo shoot until 1:30 am, then trying desperately to stay awake all […]

Cinnamon Pecan PralinesI’m just not ready, you guys! I’m not ready for Christmas to be over. I’m totally one of those people who leaves the tree up and decorated until every last pine needle drops to the floor and the skeleton that’s left erupts spontaneously into a curtain of flames. And even after that, I’ll […]

Cranberry Pomegranate Goat Cheese Poppers This is the best season. The BEST. It’s just a continuous stream of holidays, parties, gatherings, and desserts (wonderful desserts!) And plenty of amazing appetizers. Plenty of pomegranate. Plenty of cinnamon. Plenty of awesome. These little “poppers” are perfect appetizers. They’re very quick to prepare, and you can even set […]

Mini Espresso Pumpkin MuffinsYum yum yum, I do love pumpkin! And I did promise not to oversaturate you with pumpkin recipes this year. i have one (possibly two) more after this, and then I swear I’m done! Not that the world couldn’t go for more and more and more pumpkin recipes…. There’s such an amazing […]

The Best Banana Bread (Ever) I know it’s a big claim, but for serious, it’s for real. I’ve toyed around with banana breads for a while. Gotta make sure they’re moist enough, dense enough, flavorful enough, and of course, with a crunchy sugary topping to make your tastebuds swoon. Well, I nailed it. Really and […]

Well, I sure hope you’re ready, because your Sunday mornings will never be the same again! Or your Saturday mornings… or your Monday nights… or whatever day and time you decide to try out this fluffy tower of complete awesomeness. Ever have trouble choosing between eating pancakes or French Toast? Welllll…. what if you used […]

Christmas is my absolute favorite season of the entire year. I can’t get enough Christmas lights, gingerbread, peppermint, Home Alone, fresh pine scent, or eggnog! Let’s talk about Home Alone for a minute. Seriously. One of the best Christmas movies of all time. And Home Alone 2 was a fantastic follow-up. Before we get into this […]

Yes! Fall is officially here! I see all the beautiful pumpkin stands on my drive to work, gourds at the grocery store (which I stocked up on heavily. How can I resist decorating with these beautiful things) and pumpkin recipes everywhere! I’m sure some people are getting a little tired of the pumpkin recipes and […]

Could there be a better dessert than one made out of pure maple syrup? I think not! Growing up in Seattle I fell madly in love with everything maple, especially Maple Bars, which are a doughnut stick covered in gooey maple icing that seem to be only a Northwest specialty (I’ve never found them on […]
