Dark chocolate truffles might be the most decadent, simple dessert of all time. Not to be dramatic. What’s better, is that these truffles have nutella in them. Mhm, try them out and thank me later. Ingredients 2/3 c. heavy cream 12 oz. bittersweet dark chocolate 1 Tbs. nutella 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/3 c. cocoa […]

Seattle is known for its coffee. If you’re in town, you could spend weeks trying out all the local shops. The most highly visited option to visit is the original Starbucks located in Pike Place Market. While that option is great, it’s usually got a line packed out the door and down the length of […]

Typically I make tomato and ricotta crostini, but grape ricotta crostini allow for the addition of one of my favorite ingredients – honey. What’s great about this recipe is it yields a lot of grapes you can store in the fridge for later. All it takes is a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, […]

Working from home can make it difficult to want to eat all the food and beverages you have already bought from the grocery store and have handy. It’s tempting to want to run to the local coffee shop every day and get a coffee. But then you might start doing that every day and adding […]

Update: I moved to Seattle, Washington! And one of the first places I stopped was Pike Place Market. It’s known for the famous fish throwing, local vendors filled with fresh seafood, fruit, flowers and more. Cute little restaurants line the cobblestone streets. Tourists and locals alike love to shop the fare, and dine at the […]

Fresh pesto is one pasta sauce I cannot get enough of. Mixing up the basil and olive oil in a food processor creates the most delicious fragrance, making this pesto better than anything you can ever buy at the store. If you’ve got access to basil plants, they’re really fun to have out on your […]

Green juice is not only healthy, but really refreshing too! And what better way to prepare for summer than to cleanse your body with some greens. If you’ve got a juicer, just head to the grocery store and pick up every type of green produce with a high water content! I used: kale, cucumber, spinach […]

There are lots of versions of coffee around. But when it comes down to it, coffee served classic is the best. Macchiatos, cappuccinos, and iced coffees. There are many flavors, syrups and sugars to add, but kept to a minimum makes for a healthier routine. There’s no shortage of milk options to add to iced […]

This flourless chocolate cake is (probably) the best dessert I’ve made in a while. I’m not an avid baker, because of so much sugar, butter etc. But this cake is so fluffy! And its packed with dark chocolate, which is so much less sugar than milk chocolate. The chocolate sauce is the perfect addition, making […]
