Cravings

This float is amazing! I'm not into root beer, but if it's Framboise Lambic (Lambic beer blended with raspberries)-I'm in! We added Framboise to vanilla ice cream and this combination makes me swoon! I was introduced to this at Pix Patisserie and can't believe it never occurred to me to try this. Yum.

Cravings: Cheese & Wine

So this is what I crave for dinner sometimes after a hard day working. Give me stinky cheese & a good Pinot -pretty please. I love the different textures in cheese and the saltiness of salami and prosciutto. Wash it down with some wine and I'm in heaven! We've been adding olives and sometimes almonds or figs to the mix.

Enjoy your weekend!!

Cravings

I can live on these rolls lately.
A little peanut sauce and POW!
An explosion to the senses.
I know, a little dramatic.

I love this fruit cocktail!!!!
Available at the Portland Saturday Market.
Coconut, papaya, mango, pineapple and watermelon.

Enjoy your weekend!

Cravings: Ceviche

I love Ceviche. We've been perfecting our recipe. This dish consists of fish marinated in a citrus mixture of fresh lemons and limes. The citric acid causes the proteins in the seafood to cook without heat. We add tomatoes, onions, cilantro and avocado (on the side). The flavor is intense freshness of citric infused fish and vegetables. We've been using halibut and shrimp. Cheers to summer in Portland!

Cravings

It was 81 degrees today. Yay! We recently did the Fremont Fair in Seattle and it was maybe 58 degrees? Seriously, people had furry hats and coats on. Warm weather makes me crave colorful food like salads with apples and strawberries or avocados with salsa and tostadas. The more color the better.

This is what I'm talking about!!!!
Cupcakes come in a slew of colors!

Breakfast for Dinner

Lately I've been craving breakfast for dinner or lunch. Sometimes I just can't wait till morning ya know? Banana pancakes or oatmeal with raspberries or omelets... My little guy instigates this. Lately he's been wanting macaroni for breakfast. Better yet, macaroni and hot dogs!?
