When it comes to clams there are only two camps. You either really really love them or you really really hate them. As for me I love clams – always have, always will. Growing up in the Puget Sound we would go clam digging as kids spending hours looking for those suckers. At the end of the day my mom would prepare our loot by steaming clams and us kids would slurp the savory broth till the lost drop. We would collect all the empty shells, wash them (or not wash them), and store them in a secret box as our treasure. Those were the good old days. Last time I went clam digging was with my husband before having kids. Lets just say it wasn’t as nearly as fun as I remember as a kid, but eating them these days is just as comforting and delectable.

I love insalata caprese salad. I love everything about it, from the vibrant colors of each ingredient to how each element comes together for a delicious dish. Best of all is how simple this is to make but yet is stunning to look at when plated. Those are my favorite types of dishes to prepare! There is something deeply satisfying when I can create something at home in a few minutes yet feel like I’ve ordered it from a restaurant! I repeat what I said from the beginning… I love insalata caprese salad. I think you will too. Enjoy! [click to continue…]

I love days like today in Seattle. Blue skies, not to cold, but not to hot. You can get away with wearing flip flops and ordering an iced latte all within the rules of acceptability for a living here. Because the weather around here has been so unpredictable I appreciate a nice day like today even more because I know it will not last. I’m not sure what it is about a beautiful sunny day, but they always command a need in me to grill. One of my favorite dishes to bbq is chicken satay. I love the flavors of cardamon, lemongrass, and ginger (to name a few) infusing the meat and transforming the tender grilled chicken into something spectacular. [click to continue…]
