Fresh Fish

There is something to be said for fresh fish. It is amazing. Entirely unlike anything else. And what do I mean when I say "fresh"?

We spent part of early September in a little town called Ucluelet (you-clue-let), BC. What a treasure! It is perched literally at the end of the road on the west side of Vancouver Island.

Inspiration From The Food Network

My boys LOVE food. They have always enjoyed watching cooking shows and pretending in their kitchens. One day years ago, I found them playing in their kitchen "cooking" stuffed animals.

I've Got Questions... You Have Answers!

There has to be room for improvement in the way I have my own kitchen and food ideas organized, which is why I want to hear all about how you do it. This got me wondering...

How do you organize your recipes?

Where do you find culinary inspiration?

Are there types or ethnicities of food you would like to experiment with?

What do you do when you get in a "food rut"?

I can't wait to hear from you! If you would rather email me than comment here, my address is saltshaker@me.com.

Kitchen: Heart of Our Home

Regardless of the occasion or who is in our house at any given moment, we always end up in the kitchen. I usually end up recruiting my guests to help in the meal somehow, beverage of choice in hand, and we have a wonderful time. Food is prepared, we catch up, memories are made, and friendships deepened.

We wanted the kitchen to be warm and welcoming, with enough countertop to sink a ship.
