This last Saturday I was delighted to experience a Farm to table chef tasting put on by our very talented Janet Neil, Chef/Owner of Bert & Ernies Tavern here in Great Falls. Janet collaborated with many of our local farmer’s and businesses to put this event together. I could ramble on in great detail but […]

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 […]
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”. To celebrate a momentous milestone we decided to ride the Harleys through Glacier National Park, one of the most pristine and […]
Flowers for Aimee
Recently I read on Eliot’s Eats blog that fellow blogger Aimee, of Chapel Hill to Chickenville, has been going through some very difficult times.
Romantic Picnic for Two: A Photo Menu
A long weekend, a beautiful spring day what could be more wonderful than a romantic picnic for two? Salted almonds mixed with dried cranberries to snack on.
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 […]
Food Photo Tips from a Buffalo Blue Elk Burger
Look at that, don’t you just want to take a bite out of that big juicy burger? Although I think that the burger looks appetizing I made some errors in photographing it. That’s what happens when you are a starvin marvin and want to snap the shot and get on with eating. It’s a fabulous […]
Cream of Mushroom and Turkey Soup
It’s one week after Thanksgiving, how are you doing on your leftovers? Have you gobbled them all up, did you stash some in the freezer for later? This year there was only three of us and the smallest organic fresh turkey I could buy was nearly 14 pounds. That’s a lot of turkey for 3 […]
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup–Do Over
Ever wish you could get a do over? Where you could magically go back in time and right the wrong? Burnt biscuits…do over. Doing 80 mph in a 65 mph zone…sorry Mr. Policeman…do over. How about that conversation where you should have had a great comeback, but it only comes to you later. Wouldn’t it […]
Anaconda
Last weekend I went to Bozeman, I was delivering a much anticipated microwave to my Baby boy/freshman college student. I had a lovely weekend, he showed me his room that he supposedly cleaned up for me (lets just say that I am grateful…). We went out to dinner, fell asleep at the movies, errr, I […]
