Pears are just fucking sexy. They’re not even close to being my favorite fruit but oh, how I love their shape. There’s something about them that screams romantic, they ooze with sex appeal. Maybe it’s because, its a womanly shape? I used to be a pear shape (now I’m more of an apple…not quite as […]
One taste of skyr and I was hopelessly in love! Haven’t heard of it? It’s kind of an Icelandic yogurt. Except it’s not really yogurt, it’s more of a super creamy soft cheese with a tangy taste that is, well, very yogurt-y in flavor. Skyr has been a food in Iceland since it’s occupation by […]
Five years ago, I finished my photography course at Rocky Mountain School of Photography. After graduating and moving back to Great Falls I really missed being around creative photo bugs. The cure was the Great Falls Camera Club. Now five years later, I had the opportunity to share my love of food photography with them. […]
I can’t believe that I’ve been missing out on these amazing cookies all my life. It wasn’t until last year when I teamed up with Kris Voorhees to do a Scandinavian Cookie Class that I was introduced to Lakkrís Toppar.

I couldn’t resist a purchase of a half flat combination of raspberries, blackberries and strawberries. Every year for the 4th […]
Last week I mentioned that I had been craving Greek food like a mad dog. It was a powerful and all-consuming craving that had to be satisfied. I gave into my craving when I got my SRC assignment and made some fabulous chicken gyros (ones that I am already craving again…). I seriously wanted Greek […]
I did it. I done did it. Have you ever made a decision, a commitment and wondered “what the hell have I got myself into”? As my time drew near to opening the café I was asking myself that very question. Oh why do I jump in with both feet? I mean this is work! It’s […]
It’s my favorite bloggy time of the month, Secret Recipe Club reveal. Every month I can’t wait to find out who my secret blog is going to be, and then I stalk all their recipes and going through the process of which one to make. This month when I got assigned to Liz from That […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s amazing how this time of year tempts even the non-sweet maker into a cookie and candy making machine. Actually it’s quite over-whelming at times which is why I love having a few super quick and easy recipes on hand. One of my go to recipes every year is my […]
