Potato Salads
Potato Salad is the go-to summer side dish. It's perfect when cozied up with grilled chicken, or a plate of BBQ goodness. Everyone seems to love their Mom or Grandma's versions. Is yours creamy, eggy, pickley? A lot of times it's what you grew up with that becomes...

Alright, Father’s Day is coming up. There's nothing else that dear ol' dad want more for dinner than a beautiful grilled steak. And that’s great news for you because it’s as easy as pie to cook, if you have your method down. And I'll say it… EVEN EASIER than pie!...
Wild Fennel
Did you know fennel grows like a weed in the Pacific Northwest? Especially in Ballard. I see it growing along the road on my commute to work every morning and it grows beautifully in my urban parking lot garden! It's basically a weed - a delicious, anise-flavored...

Fresh Herbs Anytime You Want!

Strawberry Days
Strawberries really signal the beginning of summer. I can’t wait for the first big, juicy red berry of the season. Probably the most popular way to enjoy strawberries (other than eaten from hand) is strawberry shortcake. Here’s a quick tip for my favorite take on the...
