Following a month of eating mostly take-out and a trip to the Foodbuzz Festival (where I ate pretty much everything in sight) I'm excited to be back in the kitchen, cooking up healthy recipes. Choosing the first meal to cook was a difficult[...]

Foodbuzz Festival & Napa Valley

Words can't begin to describe the weekend I just spend at the Second Annual Foodbuzz Festival, so I'll let the photos do the talking. After a month of eating takeout while traveling, this weekend was precisely what the doctor ordered to get me back[...]

It's been practically forever since my last post. I'm sorry. Really, I am. I miss blogging but this is my busy season at work and I've been, well, busy. I thought I'd get ahead of it - I developed a bunch of recipes and took a bunch of photos so[...]

Crab & Corn Chowder
