We received a quick note from a Whole Foods representative regarding a one-day sale on wild- caught Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)- certified Sockeye Salmon this Friday, December 7th at $7.99/lb (almost a 50% savings) !! Whole Foods Sockeye Salmon are hand-selected by their port buyers at the peak of the season.Ā It is certified sustainable by the MSC, meaning salmon populations are relatively abundant, fishing methods have minimal impact on the ecosystem and the fishery is managed effectively to maintain sustainability.Ā Also, the MSC’s chain of custody certification means that the fish are fully traceable from fishery to Whole Foods. Mark and I for some reason always get our salmon at Jacks Fish Spot in Pike Place Market (only if Jack is working) otherwise…

If you are all eggnog’d out and looking for a way to get rid of your eggnog without wasting the holiday spirit- use it for french toast! It is all about the bread…I prefer thick and spongy bread when making french toast so I sent Mark out to visit one of his favorites- Dahlia Bakery.Ā The sous chef must have been in a good mood because Mark came back with a gorgeous, fresh and fluffy loaf of bread, “exclusive” for use at Dahlia Lounge & Lola :0) PERFECT. You can either use leftover homemade or carton eggnog…whichever you have available!Ā Put about 4-5 cups of the eggnog in a mixing bowl, add 3 eggs, cinnamon (1 tbsp *), nutmeg (2 tsp*) and vanilla (1tbsp*)…whisk…

This past weekend Ash and I went over to Oliver’s for a couple drinks with some good friends of ours. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Oliver’s had updated their menu to include holiday drinks…including eggnog! The description read something like…”if you have had eggnog out of a carton, you really owe it to yourself to give our homemade recipe a try.” So of course I did š and it was of course awesome. So yesterday while at Whole Foods South Lake Union I bought the ingredients with some helpful advice from a store worker. He had recommended something to me which I believe made the eggnog awesome! Start with a creme anglaise. As is with most of my cooking I read a…

A while back, Ash and I were going to get into the martini onion business (we even had the labels made, pic above). Then I had a falling out with martini’s but now we are back! First batch should be ready by February 2013 š

Since moving to Seattle, every year IĀ head back to Tri-Cities to spend the Thanksgiving break with my older brother and my nephews. A LOT of traditions from Thanksgiving Super Bowl (nephew v. nephew with an quarterback draft prior to game) to heading over to Atomic Ales to fill up growlers…but this year was different and I would say more EPIC because my wife Ashley came with too š What a relief! It was just a great feeling having her with me the entire time…while she did watch the Thanksgiving Day parade and sip mimosas (all weekend) I reluctantly watched football with breaks to play with Nerf guns with my nephews. In the end our Thanksgiving spread prepped by my aunt Bendo was perfect…nothing…
When Ash tried to make me hungry by just making salad…I jumped in with my own take with her main ingredient BROCCOLI. You see I am easy going, do not follow recipes and not afraid if I mess up a meal and if I do mess up, I will be the first to admit it š So basically if you take what Ashley made here and add al dente spaghetti with fresh shaven Parmesan reggiano you have something awesome with truffled broccoli and full stomach. **NOTE I did quickly saute the broccoli with a pat of unsalted butter š
We just got a new TV so we took advantage of the rainy lazy Sunday and spent it indoors.Ā While Mark flipped back and forth between movies, shows, biographies, documentaries, etc, I spent most of the day next to him on the couch on my computer. As I was Pinteresting, I found a delicious recipe for Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares…then I found out it was NO BAKE and I was sold :0)Ā Oddly enough, I happened to have all the ingredients too, so a trip to the store was not necessary (and would have been a deal breaker).Ā I added a little twist to the recipe by adding Nutella, vanilla and a little salt. What you need: – 1/2 stick unsalted butter – 1…
