So I turned 40 this week. I am not sure what I think about that… I’m not sure if I am happy with the life that I have forged. I feel like I do very little that makes a difference in the world. Before my wife get all, well you know. I have the...

Gnocchi
These incredible potato-pasta-pillows are one of the fondest food memories that I have from my mission. Every missionary in Italy (that I met anyway) remembered their first Gnocchi experience, and they all went something like this… “I kept eating them until I was full and then a half an hour later I thought my...
Pasta Bolgnese
To help with your New Years Weight Loss Resolution. < wink, wink ;) > This is my favorite dishes in the whole world. It is also one of the simplest as far as ingredients and methods. The trade off is that it is a fairly time intensive process. There are no shortcuts, and each...
Oh My Hectic Holidays

Temple Square Photowalk

Turkey Day Is Coming
How do I know? Because I start gathering ingredients for my Habanero-Cranberry Relish. Yes this does use a Habanero, but it is not as spicy as you would think. There is a lot of sugar and that really counters the heat. I would put the heat level about with Pace medium salsa, your experience...
Soup For Me!!
As I mentioned a couple of days ago my sister-in-law sent me this recipe via Twitter. I knew right away that it was a recipe for me. I am copying the recipe from the author’s blog with permission. I have made some minor changes but the heart of the meal is hers. Roasted Butternut...
