OK, first new recipe of 2019! It took a little while to sit down and do this, as I’ve had a lot going on. The holidays were lovely, and now I’m preparing for a trip next weekend, and I’ve been starting some new projects. I’ve taken a position as the Honolulu ambassador for an online…… Continue reading Eggs In Purgatory (With A Few Friends)
I am in full-on holiday mode here in Hawaii. I mentioned that my last few holidays were all over the place thanks to military life, but this year, we have all our decorations (and furniture) and there’s no traveling to do, so it’s on. Christmas movies, mulled cider, baking, twinkle lights, evergreen scented candles, gift…… Continue reading Hawaiian Sweet Roll Stuffing
Some people get the post-Thanksgiving blues once the big meal is done. Me? Not so much.

It didn’t stop me from dressing up in my cozy corgi onesie costume though!…… Continue reading Easy Pumpkin Ravioli in Brown Butter
This is not a food post. I’m not sorry. This might get uncomfortable. I’m not sorry. I’m disgusted with my country. I’m not sorry. Today was the one year anniversary of the mainstream #metoo movement and it’s also the day an accused sexual assailant was appointed to the Supreme Court. I can’t change this today,…… Continue reading I’m Not Sorry. #MeToo.
It has been a busy start to fall here! First off, last month I celebrated my 32nd birthday… yikes. It was a low-key day of brunch, day drinks and football, since my last couple birthdays have been very eventful. Year 30 was celebrated on a party bus (literally, a school bus), cruising up Highway 1…… Continue reading Shrimp Street Tacos with Mango Habanero Salsa
