I have a plant problem. Seriously, I can’t stop buying houseplants! This is a totally new thing — with the exception of a few little potted flowers I made my parents buy me as a kid (and then I promptly lost interest in), I’ve never been into houseplants. Or really, plants at all. I just…

Brussels Sprouts and Spicy Sausage Ricotta Quiche
I’m gonna be upfront and warn you that there might be a crazy influx of quiche recipes in the next few months. I’M OBSESSED! This is really only the second quiche I’ve ever made (first one is here!), and I’m not sure why this hasn’t been a staple in my weekly cooking before now. Maybe…
Rhubarb Sour Cream Crumble Pie
Let’s get this out of the way immediately: pie can be intimidating. There’s crust involved, and temperature matters, and it’s hard to tell when they’re done, and OMG SO MANY MORE EXCUSES. Anything else? Vent it out, because we’re about to move on. Done? Great. Pie might be somewhat intimidating, but I’m here to argue…
Coconut Sugar Classic Pumpkin Pie
Today I’m sending you guys over to Nutiva’s blog, The Kitchen Table, to check out a classic pumpkin pie recipe I developed for them! The recipe uses coconut sugar in place of cane sugar, and red palm oil (sustainably farmed in Ecuador) in place of butter. If you need a dairy-free crust, this one is…
Apple Cardamom Crumble Galette
Hellloo from the other siiiiiiiiiide! Anyone else? If you’re my neighbor, you’re altogether WAY too familiar with this song since I’ve been belting it out at 100% volume for the last three days straight. It’s a minor issue. I can’t stop! I don’t even particularly care for the song/identify with the sentiments, but I LOVE…
Rhubarb Grapefruit Custard Pie
When is the last time I made pie? Seriously, I can’t remember. I feel like I used to make pie ALL THE TIME, but honestly: I think it’s been nearly two years — maybe even since Thanksgiving two years ago! Living in Asia didn’t inspire any pie-baking, nor did the hot hot summer here in…
Kale Chorizo Potato Quiche
Believe it or not, this is the first quiche I have EVERRRR MADE! Say whaaaat!? Yeah. For reals. Quiche wasn’t really on my radar for a long time — I don’t remember my Mom ever making it when I was a kid. We usually went for crustless options like stratas and frittatas. Sing those two…
Salty Honey Cookies
I’m not exactly the trendiest food blogger out there. I don’t really pick up on trends before others, nor do I really care that much about them (I’ve yet to buy matcha, but I REALLY want to!). Salty honey pie is one trend, though, that I’ve been wanting to get on for about two years…
Chicken Curry Pot Pie
Let me just admit something straight off here: I’ve never made a pot pie before. I mean, clearly I’ve just made one, but BEFORE this one… NADA. I’m not sure if that’s normal, and no big deal, or a huge “who the heck am I and why haven’t I done this!?!” kind of moment. I’m…
Peach Basil Galette with Whole Wheat Almond Crust
Remember how I was really bummed about missing berry season? And nectarine/peach season? I TOTALLY DIDN’T MISS IT! Sure, maybe I missed the peak, but I was able to find plenty of fresh Oregon/Washington peaches, nectarines, and berries while we were in Portland and Seattle! Hallelujah! I figured I should get this recipe up ASAP…
Chai Apple Pie
I was told there would be snow. Substantial snow, for the last two days. They predicted 3-6 inches here in town, and 6-12 in the mountains. What actually happened? A dusting down here, and TWO inches in the mountains. WHAAT!? Yes, I’m disappointed. I was really excited to wake up to a white world for…
A Perfect Montana Wedding: Derek & Mary 8.17.2013
To say our wedding was perfect just doesn’t quite capture how perfect it truly was. It was the most incredible day, and weekend, and I’m SO happy with the pictures — I have to share them with you! This is a very small sampling of the pictures Kacie, of Kacie Q Photography, captured from our…
Raspberry Rhubarb Pie with Cream Cheese Crust
My faith in life is restored! Woohoo! We finally found a place to live, so you can stop worrying about us being homeless. I was a little worried, honestly. Places here in Bozeman are few and far between, usually really sub-par (dingy even by college-student standards), and not always ideally located. After seeing too many…
Strawberry Vanilla Mint Galette
{Have you entered to win a KitchenAid mixer yet? I’m giving one away here!} Before this last week of incredibly rainy Bozeman weather, it was feeling like summer! Too hot to go running mid-day (well, 70 F), deliciously sunny, and PERFECT pie weather! I’ve been craving pie. Like you wouldn’t believe. The issue is…
Apple Cranberry Pie
Cranberry madness! Are you sick of me yet? Muffins, cookies, upside-down cakes — I might be about to turn INTO a cranberry myself. Lucky for you, this is my LAST post about cranberry for a while — I used up most of my giant bag o’ cranberries, and now I’m on vacation for an entire…
Pumpkin Pecan Pie
I used to have a really hard time choosing which dessert(s) to eat at Thanksgiving. No, this isn’t an issue of moderation: it’s an issue of how uncomfortably full I’m willing to feel! There’s pumpkin pie, pecan pie, chocolate pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin custard, ice cream, more turkey, rolls with butter and jam, sweet…
