We’re headed into summer and fresh lettuce greens are in season! We got some incredible butter lettuce, arugula, spinach and mustard greens straight from the farm and they taste like small green pieces of happiness. I marinated some pork loin to go with them and added some asiago cheese and hazelnuts. The result was incredible. Continue reading

I love homemade ice cream and I remember doing elementary school science projects that took hours, used rock salt and involved lots of hand cranking in order to get some of the delicious creamy treat. Since I neither have hours for hand cranking, nor rock salt, nor an ice cream maker, I have been out of luck. Continue reading
I’m so glad the summer’s here so I can visit all my favorite outdoor places! This week I got to enjoy some sun and fun at the Wawawai canyon cliffs, a unique outcropping of rocks on the Snake River that are perfecting for relaxing by the water in the afternoon. When the weather gets warm enough, college students and locals flock here to do some extreme cliff jumping! It’s a fun place that is very unique on the Palouse. Being surrounded by wheat fields and farms, sometimes we crave the water! Continue reading
Yum! No breakfast is complete without buttery and flaky fresh biscuits. The trick to fluffy biscuits is to use sticky dough, so although you’ll want to add extra flour, resist the urge! Continue reading
I love archaeology, but I didn’t know my beagle did also! When I visited Wawawai Canyon Park recently, we stumbled across some ancient ruins left by Paleo-Indians on the Snake River.
After going for a nice walk around the water, we found a trail that led into the forest that looked more like a jungle than a patch of trees. In this location, there were massive trees with enormous leaves and an archaeological ruin! Continue reading
I’ve always been fascinated by other cultures since I’ve traveled a bunch and spent some brief times living in other countries. As an anthropologist, I also love to experience the arts, culture, foods, music, you name it about other countries and peoples. Globe In is one of the coolest subscription boxes I’ve seen since it sources from all over the globe, directly from the people who made the products. It’s “fair trade” at its finest. Continue reading

Last night, I went out in search of summer flowers. Having been disappointed at a thunderstorm that dumped rain on the spring blooms a few weeks ago and melted them, I was excited to see that the summer seasonal blossoms were coming into full bloom! Continue reading

The lush jungles of Nicaragua conceal much more than just wildlife and the streets of the city of Managua hold more secrets than vendors around every corner.
When I opened the first pages of The Ladies of Managua, I knew I was in for a treat. Having traveled to Nicaragua for my honeymoon, I fell in love with the beautiful country with unique traditions. So much so, that I plan to build a second home there one day and create a future. Continue reading
When I watch the world wake up I sit back and sip tea in my pajamas. I’ve been up for hours, taking in the beauty of the morning while enjoying the peace and solitude. Early birds feel the same as night owls; their time alone brings peace while everyone else is asleep. Some of my best work is done before 8am ever hits. By 9, I already feel as if I am running late.

Potatoes are my favorite food. I love experimenting with them to see how many different creations can be made from such a cheap and staple crop. These puffy and cheesy potato puffs are perfect for the potato enthusiast. Continue reading
