Coconut Pumpkin Freeze
If I called this ice cream you wouldn’t even want to try it because you don’t have an ice cream maker or churn. It’s too thick to be called a smoothie. Whatever the name might be, here it is and it’s tasty as-is or could …

Is ‘herb’ a verb? It is now. I was recently asked to provide some desserts for a party in late September, a request I usually decline because I’m not baking-inclined, but they wanted the entire event to be gluten free so my empathetic …
Purple lisianthus from the Canoe Creek Produce at the Farmer’s Market. I hear they’re difficult to grow because they are slow to germinate, but it is so worth the wait. I’ve found myself sitting and just staring at them over the last week and a …
It’s amazing to eat produce when it is still warm from the sun. These ingredients of summer that I’m finding in my garden or the Farmer’s Market—cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, onion—there is just nothing like fresh and connected to the vine or the soil sometime in the …
A ridiculously simple snack it is, yet it’s been a (sometimes daily) staple for us when we need a no-grain high-protein crunch. If you’ve ever done a cleanse-diet or a few weeks of eliminating sugars and grains and reducing carbs, you know the near-desparation that can set in as …
Once again I find myself wrapped tightly in the schedule of catering events and I’m not able to do justice in writing the experiences of the last ten days on our adventure into the south. This sunset tells the story much better than I ever could, …
NOLA a.k.a. the Rebirth City. I’m traveling with friends this week to New Orleans and Bay St. Louis, visiting friends and eating delectable dinners everywhere we go. Not much time for words so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. …
I’m beginning to understand why people do this. A year ago I signed up for my first cross country ski race on a 12.5 kilometer classic-only course. Having started this sport as a not-so-young adult it was not an obvious trajectory for me …
I finally got a good photo of the Ukrainian jackets at the International Paralymic Championships here at Telemark, they’re beautiful. I wish I would have had a cool jacket to trade with him… Twenty countries! For more amazing footage check out the …
… Fresh tarragon with sugar was not my original idea, but reading it in a menu convinced me this was the meal I wanted to attempt to recreate for a Scandinavian dinner for my friend Dennis, the generous Dane who loves to host elaborate festivities. The Faroe Islands …
The Holiday Music Motel We were wandering around Sturgeon Bay looking for a place to stay since it appeared as though a storm was descending, and though we like camping…it takes real dedication to set up WHILE it’s raining. Vacationland of Door County is …
Nutmeg Iced Tea is great for a summer’s day, so here are photos of a divine location to relax with a glass—a gazebo co-created by Scott and metal-master friend Hung Van Pham. This is the initial design in miniature, before it took an evolutionary turn to include metal. The top…not …
Maybe not something you do every night, but these gems are stunning on a plate. I recently made these as a garnish for a wedding dinner to be set atop the saffron rice pilaf next to the pesto green beans. Color!! We eat with our eyes …
Before we get to refreshing cucumbers, here are more photos from the Willow Gathering in June. These are from classes led by the two Danish instructors Ane Lyngsgaard and Eva Seidenfaden. You can see the soaked willow on the floor in the background. …
While we were in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in February we ate lunch at a little place called Steep Creek Cafe (and White Cap Kayak Trips) in the Ironwood and I seem to recall we licked out the bowl that this dip was served in. Having only the …
It’s a drizzly overcast day with a chilly night coming on, and time for all of the basil to be dug out of the garden and processed. I’ll be up to my elbows in pesto of course, but I’ve been wanting to try herb …
Tis the season of these fuzzy tart rubies. The cicadas are buzzing, the days are steamy, but the nearly-sharp chill of the early morning gives away that secret I’ve been aching to hear…that fall is knocking at the door. Sumac is often …
. Cabbage. Magnificent. This is an easy-to-make Waldorf-Coleslaw hybrid that Scott created and I love it. The cabbage is already at Farmers Market and the early apples are coming in so it seemed like a perfect time to share this salad with you. …
If you’re growing cilantro in your garden it probably looks like this right now: a mass of beautiful little flowers and bulbous green seeds. Usually I don’t have time to deal with them and just wait until they dry in the garden then harvest …
Figs and Balsamic Vinegar…a match made in heaven! Rich, Deep Flavors with Sweet and Tangy, together they tango. Balsamic Vinegar Balsamic originates from the word ‘balm’ and years ago this rich caramel liquid was used for medicinal purposes such as curing colds and …
