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!)
Avocados have to be one of my favorite vegetables… er fruit? They are so fresh and creamy, and good for you too. As long as you don’t eat like five a day. That might be a bit much.
It’s always a good idea to have snacks on hand. One day, you might just find yourself stuck with a hangry friend, or stranded on the side of a lonely country road, your main concern being finding a way to fill that pit in your stomach (of course).
There is something comforting about digging into a mammoth portion of cheesy, piping hot lasagna.
You watch the steam gracefully escape upward off your first forkful and pray that the irresistible molten cheese won’t burn your mouth, even though you know it will.
