Yellowstone National Park {a mostly photographic journey}
It’s so easy to forget how lucky I am to be living in a beautiful state like Montana. Montana was originally known as the treasure state because of all the mining, the remnants in Butte are a reminder to us that this was once the copper king’s world. Growing up I knew Montana as […]
Garden Walk
I’ve never been a gardener other than just a dabbling here or there, mostly container type gardening and mostly beautification gardening other than some tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. It wasn’t a lack of desire, it’s just that the military lifestyle makes it difficult, new place, new climate…new everything! Then I became a board member of […]
Glacier National Park and Fort Benton
10 years, he’s kept me around for 10 years! That’s a record for us, we’ve both been married not once but twice before. Seems like that old adage is true “third times the charm”.

2013 IACP San Francisco Conference, Recap
Have you ever really wanted to do something and then talked yourself out of it? There are always reasons why something can’t be done, time, money, trepidations, money…and so it was for this IACP conference. Actually it started back in photography school, I met fellow student Heather Gill, chef and amazing photographer. We obviously had […]
Deviled Ham Stuffed Eggs
Just a quick post today! I’m busy, busy, busy! I had a deadline moved up 3 months and with a trip to San Francisco coming up this week I’m scrambling! I’m going to the International Association of Culinary Professionals conference this week and I’m super excited. I’ll be bringing my camera along and taking oodles […]
Deconstructed Pesto Insalata Caprese
Say what? Are my eyes really seeing what they see? Does that sign say ‘Heirloom Tomatoes’? It’s the middle of winter…must be a mistake. But they look like heirloom tomatoes. They have variegated colors and bumpy exteriors, they must be heirlooms. Imported from Mexico….ahhh, that’s right, not every place in the world right now has […]
