This is has nothing to do with my recipe but I am currently writing this post at a coffee shop. Thought I would take advantage of the ability to get out of the house finally. Feels nice to see live humans again! I just had to get that out there.....the things you take for granted! That being said, this recipe all started with me trying to get rid of a can of mango nectar. Great things sometime start from nothing! A lot of people ask me where I get ideas for my recipes. I have

Happy Valentine's Day!! I would love to tell you that I know what I am doing this year for Valentine's Day but I have no clue.....it's Josh's year to plan, so it's a surprise! We are a very competitive couple so we take turns trying to out plan the other each year. I think I am winning....but he does pretty good....for being a man. (No offense men, we love ya!) Josh and I have worked for a company called Party on the Rocks over the last few years. We bartend at different even

The next country on my travel list: MOROCCO! I have wanted to go there for so long. I remember watching an Anthony Bourdain episode where he traveled and ate his way through Morocco, it made me fall in love with Morocco more than ever before. The food and culture looked amazingly unique and delicious! One of my favorite condiments: HARISSA! I don't quite remember how I first discovered harissa but I have been throwing it in my cooking impulsively for the last few years. It is

I was about to make a really fancy pumpkin pie cocktail for this post, but I realized the world already has way too much pumpkin spice going on right now. Like, really, we get it, it's November and you know how to make everything out of pumpkin spice! I also realized that in all the chaos of the holiday, a nice simple cocktail would be the key to, you know, actually enjoying it. Thus, we have the mulled apple cider mule - elegant, delicious, great for groups, and liable to m

My new favorite autumn breakfast! Sometimes just a bowl of something healthy and delicious will help start your day off just a little bit better. I decided to make this recipe for a few reasons: 1. I feel like every food blogger needs one of those over the top beautiful porridge recipes. 2. I had a butternut squash sitting around that I really needed to use. 3. I was tired of making myself Cream of Wheat everyday and decided I needed something a little more exciting (and heal

It is getting to that fowl part of the year…like where you eat more roasted birds, and enjoy the delightful weather that we get in the PNW about now. Autumn is going by too fast for my taste! We have an exciting event coming up where Emily and I will be doing a tutorial of our poultry spice rub and of one of our essential oil cocktails. We are so grateful that we are getting more and more opportunity to share our knowledge and experience cooking with essential oils. Emily has

It is FOOTBALL season! Which everyone knows means wings, wings, wings....am I right? That's probably one of the only reasons I watch football honestly, unless I am rooting for the Seahawks. I do live in Seattle after all, I feel like its an obligatory duty. We just won the first few games of the season so hopefully we can continue this winning streak! If not...I'll just sit, enjoy my time with friends and munch on a pile of these spicy mango chutney wings! Pretty much a win,
