Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie – yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank – now we’re talking!

Rhubarb Syrup

We moved into our new house in February – the dead of winter. We had no idea what kind of planting the previous owners had done (answer: a lot) or what the grass looked like (answer: weeds). He...

Pop of yellow

Ross often makes fun of my love for yellow. I mean, our car is yellow (we call it “banana car”), my engagement ring has a yellow diamond, and I just always feel drawn to the bright, happy...

Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing

A while back I re-pinned a recipe Kate from The Blueberry Files posted on pinterest. Buttermilk Green Goddess Dressing sounded too tasty to pass up. I love a good creamy salad dressing, especially on...

Curried Sweet Potato and Cranberry Salad

Wear your bike helmet!

We got some nature up in here

My new backyard is next to a wooded walking area, which means we have a bit of a forest view. Though we’re only 2.5 miles from downtown Portland, it almost feels like we’re in some strang...

Where’d the snow go?

Can you tell these photos were taken a few weeks ago? There’s snow on the dang ground! The last week or so has been filled with spectacular weather, even reaching into the 80′s. This DOES...

Savory Ricotta Pancakes with Brussel Sprout Hash

We ate this meal on February 28, 2012. How do I say that with such certainty? Well, it was National Pancake Day! Woops, I’m a little late in getting around to posting it. Anyways, though this d...

My Shirt is On Backwards

I bought this purple blouse last spring on an expedition to Savers in Portsmouth, NH. I picked it up know it wasn’t quite my style: very 80′s. It had a turtleneck (buttoned up in the back...

Bruschetta with Ricotta and Roasted Grapes

A few weeks ago I saw a link on pinterest with delicious looking ideas for four kinds of bruschetta. Obviously, I pinned it (duh, what don’t I pin). Sadly I can’t tell where it originally...

Happy colors, happy me?

This has been a challenging week. Work has been super busy, I’m in the middle of moving / buying a house, and I had an unfortunate conversation that left me in tears. Here’s the kicker: a...

Hoisin Glazed Roasted Fennel

Snowy Snood

I love the word snood. I have no idea why someone decided that a circular scarf should be called such a thing, but I’m glad they did. IT IS FUN TO SAY -> SNOOD SNOOD SNOOD. But, back in my d...

Green Chicken Chili

The title of this post is wildly inaccurate. Ok, maybe not “wildly,” but it isn’t totally true. I did not make a green “chicken” chili, but rather a green “turkey&...

Hemmed

I bought this skirt at Goodwill about a year ago and liked it a lot (seen here), but found the midi length to be a little hard to wear. Don’t get me wrong, I love a full mid-calf skirt, but the...

Vegetarian Mediterranean Pasta

We got totally slammed with snow on Thursday. It came down all day long while I was at work, leaving me with the glorious hour long chore of shoveling out my driveway to get my car in. Sweet! Just wh...

My Grandmother Laura’s Pork Pie

For those who are not geographically close to French Acadia, pork pies are not usually a familiar thing. To be honest, they’re not entirely familiar to me either. Essentially, this French Canad...

Blaze Orange

I wore this outfit last week on a rather gloomy day. I must have been inspired by hunters wearing blaze orange in the woods. My cardigan certainly stands out against the blah background. Side note, a...
