Beet Salad

Beet Salad with Tahini Dr...

September 3, 2018 • Main Dishes. Recipes.

This beet salad is much more beautiful and appetizing than the stuff of my past and with this recipe, a tragic food memory has come full circle.

Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cak...

June 22, 2018 • Alaska Eats. Breakfast.

When Saturday morning rolled around, I got into the kitchen and made this almond rhubarb coffee cake. The batter alone was to die for, with intoxicating streaks of orange zest and just the right amount of cardamom.

Green Smoothie

Four Ingredient Green Smo...

April 13, 2018 • Beverages. Spring.

As the weather warms up and the snow dwindles, making way for occasional April showers, smoothies go back on the regular rotation in our home and in homes everywhere.

boiled red potatoes

Baby Red Potatoes with Ga...

April 7, 2017 • Holidays & Occasions. Recipes.

While they may appear fancier and fussier than their larger counterparts, baby potatoes are, in my opinion, quite a bit easier to work with. They cook much more quickly than full sized potatoes and don’t need to be peeled or chopped.

soft boiled eggs with asparagus on toast

Soft Boiled Egg with Aspa...

March 22, 2017 • Breakfast. Vegetarian.

Soft-boiled eggs have been making a culinary comeback in recent years, like a vintage classic given new life. However, home cooks tend to be as intimidated of them as poached eggs. I get it. I’ve been intimidated of them my entire life.

Sticky Chicken Rice Bowls

November 2, 2016 • Main Dishes. Poultry.

The carved pumpkins are gone, the Halloween costumes are put away, the candy is stashed for mom-supervised rationing. This year was the best Halloween yet because my 11-year-old son had the brilliant idea that he would dress up as a hot dog and my partner and I would be ketchu...

sriracha shrimp with honey

Honey Sriracha Shrimp

June 19, 2016 • Appetizers & Snacks. Fish & Seafood.

Once the pan of shrimp was cooked and photographed, I called for my oldest son – the teenaged shrimp-lover of the household – and told him there may be something he might be interested in on the dining room table. He came downstairs, took one look, and perched hims...

stuffed french toast with strawberries

Stuffed French Toast with...

April 2, 2016 • Breakfast. Recipes.

The bread is toasted and golden now, filling the cabin with undeniable aroma of French toast. One slice goes down on the plate, promptly smeared with sweetened cream cheese and layered with fresh strawberries, then topped with another steaming hot slice. The cream cheese begin...

Pesto Pasta with sun dried tomatoes

Pesto Pasta with Asparagu...

April 2, 2015 • Main Dishes. Spring.

It’s April, Easter is almost here, the snow has melted, and the sun is shining brightly outside until nearly 9 p.m. on these Alaska days. Along with the daylight, the food coming out of the kitchen is getting lighter and brighter every day as well.

BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad

May 14, 2014 • Main Dishes. Poultry.

Weather: 59 degrees, everything is turning green outside What I’m listening to: You Will Remain, All Sons & Daughters Every year without fail, summer sneaks up on me. The spring calendar grows busier and busier, the days grow longer and longer – ...

Key Lime Mason Jar Cheese...

March 1, 2014 • Cakes & Pies. Desserts.

This last week, I traveled to the the Lower 48 to make desserts for an event. It was a celebratory affair with family and friends, moments filled with hope, sprinkled with expectation. Similarly, I wanted the desserts I made to lift the spirit – to be small, beautiful bi...

Goat Cheese Pizza

Balsamic Mushroom & ...

March 12, 2019 • Recipes.

I had a night off from the restaurant, so I asked my wife what she wanted to do for ‘date night.’ “I want to make pizza,” she replied ahead of a long pause. “Mushroom pizza. With goat cheese.” My brain started buzzing with a recipe taking sh...

Tater Tot Casserole

Tater Tot Casserole

February 11, 2019 • Recipes.

Tater tot casserole is not a dish I grew up with. I didn’t even know it was a thing. I also didn’t know that in places like Minnesota, it’s called tater tot hot dish.

Crab Artichoke Dip

Crab Artichoke Dip

December 24, 2018 • Appetizers & Snacks. Fish & Seafood.

If you’re looking for a show-stopping appetizer to serve at an upcoming holiday gathering, look no further than this crab artichoke dip.

Peanut Butter Balls

Peanut Butter Balls

December 13, 2018 • Desserts. Holidays & Occasions.

My wife grew up making peanut butter balls every holiday season. She remembers mixing together the butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until it forms a dough that can be rolled into bite-sized balls.

Boozy Eggnog

Boozy Eggnog

December 2, 2018 • Recipes.

Fair warning: this eggnog recipe contains raw eggs. It also contains lots of booze, which acts as a sterilizer and a preservative for the eggs and cream.

Turkey Soup

Best Turkey Soup You̵...

November 24, 2018 • Autumn. Holidays & Occasions.

This soup really does stand out in the crowd. It’s exceptional. And, I bet you just might have some leftover Thanksgiving turkey in the fridge.
