My mom-in-law makes amazing canned goods. I've been enjoying her jams, pickled beans, asparagus and salsa for years. The one thing I have never tried is her jalapeno jelly. I can hardly tolerate mild salsa so I figured anything made entirely from hot peppers was just never going to happen for me. Boy was I… Continue reading Anna’s Amazing Jalapeno Jelly

Cornmeal Biscuits
I've made cornbread lots of times. And, have a great recipe for big giant fluffy biscuits. But when I made a white chicken chili a couple of weeks ago I just didn't feel like either of those breads were going to be just right to serve up alongside the chili. I went searching for some… Continue reading Cornmeal Biscuits

White Bean and Chicken Chili
Sometimes you learn lessons from your kids that are subtle and nuanced. The munchkins don't even know how insightful they are. Then there's my daughter, who draws you a picture to show you how keen her mind is. And that picture changes you. This happened to me as I was making dinner recently. I've debated… Continue reading White Bean and Chicken Chili
Oven Baked Zucchini Chips
It's zucchini season! Many of you, with greener thumbs than I, are reaping bountiful harvests of beautiful green squash. I'm so jealous! I kill just about every plant I touch, so a garden of homegrown deliciousness has never worked out for me. Also, it seems like a lot of work. Kudos to you vegetable garden… Continue reading Oven Baked Zucchini Chips
Veggie Lasagna
I tried, but I can't give up my noodles in lasagna. I just can't do it. The idea for this recipe came from a zucchini lasagna I saw on Pinterest. When it came time to slice up the squash to replace the noodles, I chickened out. Tangent - why is it chickens get such a… Continue reading Veggie Lasagna
Hasselback Potatoes
As a lifetime Seattle Seahawks fan, I was sad to see the starting career of Matt Hasselback come to a close last week as Jake Locker was named the quarterback for the Titans. I'm really happy for Jake, cause he hails from the University of Washington. Keeps it all in the state at least. I'll… Continue reading Hasselback Potatoes
