Pumpkin pasta sauce is one of those dishes that I saw mentioned in a couple places and I thought "meh" and left it at that. It sounded to me like a gimmick, and I tend to avoid recipes that combine foods that are too close in color (strange, I know, and I almost had to put this sauce on whole ...
Mike is the egg person in this house and has always staffed the omelet pan...but one morning, I felt inspired and thought I'd surprise him with the PERFECT omelet. Well, as you can see above and as any omelet purist will attest, this isn't exactly the perfect omelet. But that should only ...
To celebrate Halloween Hunter and I did some cooking with pumpkin, and took our dishes over to share with some friends. This soup is one of the dishes I took. I usually go with the standard seasonings for winter squashes- cinnamon, nutmeg, butter (yes, butter is a seasoning in my book!) so ...
We got our first snowstorm of the fall/winter yesterday here in Denver. All in all the storm dropped over a foot in the city and up to 3 feet in the foothills, which seems like a lot for it not even being November yet. Everyone is saying its going to be a really wet, snowy winter, so perhaps ...

We had a special guest visit us this weekend, one who truly values good food and so Mike and I were determined to give him a little shock and awe. Originally we were considering an Asian dish but a morning trip to the Russian bakery changed it all (and no, I suppose the fact that it's a Russian ...
Several weeks ago at a surprise birthday party for my sister in law, Chris (yes, she turned 60!) I was discussing salmon with my niece Dee Dee and her father Bill. We have been fortunate to enjoy adventures in dining and hunting and fishing with Dee Dee and her husband Chris while they are here ...
One of my favorite things about Halloween isn't the spooky movies or aisles of candy at the store...it's not even the crisp fall day when you head to the pumpkin patch for the perfect pumpkin. Nope, it's the fresh roasted pumpkin seeds that my family always made after pumpkin carving. Salty ...
I've read a lot about fish curries but had never made one. Not sure why, since I love curries and I love fish. I think I expected the fish to be mushy or something like that, but when I had some extra white fish from Costco, I realized it would be perfect for a cooked curry. This was one of those ...
We had our first snowy day in Denver last week. I sat in a work meeting, looking out the window at the dreary snow. It wasn't the pretty snow that you see on postcards or in Christmas movies, but that sleety, grey sky snow that just looks cold. Its not comfortable to walk around in, and ...
