Figuring out what to do with leftover ingredients is actually quite fun.
It’s like a game (kind of).

Fact: I am the definition of clumsy.
Fact: If there is a door, counter, drawer, knob, cat, or any other object in the vicinity, I will most likely passionately whack it with a limb, run into it or trip over it.
The smell of fresh, summer tomatoes and basil really is wonderful.
Almost as wonderful as homemade cookies baking in the oven, which is impossible to beat. Butter and sugar always wins. Always.
Summer is approaching! Well, not really, but we can pretend.
Pretending is acceptable, right? As long as you don’t pretend too much.
A sunny spring day in Seattle means… dust off that grill! Even if it’s only 60 degrees outside (which is actually hot over here, believe it or not). I mean, people pretend it’s hot and whip out the shorts, tanks and sundresses. The term “sun’s out, guns out” becomes a reality in Seattle about mid-April. People from actual hot places must think we’re crazy.
Spinach and artichokes make a really good pair. We’re talking Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt good.
Add some cheese and roasted garlic to the mix, and things get even better. Is that even possible? Why yes, yes it is.
Sometimes, it’s more than okay to indulge.
Sometimes, all you need is a pint of the best ice cream all to yourself. (Pro tip: use a baby spoon… it lasts longer and prevents you from shoveling all that wonderfulness into your mouth in 27 seconds. Brain freeze avoided!)
