Ba Sa

Ba Sa is a delicious asian restaurant located on Bainbridge Island, just a short ferry ride from Seattle! They serve tasty dishes in a casual, comfortable environment. There were so many tasty items on their menu it was difficult to choose and I wanted to eat so much more, but you practically had to rollContinue reading “Ba Sa”

Fall Grain Bowl with Creamy Tahini

Fall is officially here and as the weather cools down, I find myself craving warmer, heartier dishes. But typically those are filled with heavy carbs like pasta and bread. I want a dish that fills me up and leaves me satisfied but also that fuels my body and does not leave me sluggish and tired.Continue reading “Fall Grain Bowl with Creamy Tahini”

Easy Stromboli

This is the first stromboli I have ever made and I think I nailed it!

It was actually a lot easier than I thought it wouldContinue reading “Easy Stromboli”

Leek Risotto with Cajun Shrimp

Risotto is delicious but it is not something I often think of cooking or really want to bother with. I have attempted it a few times and it is tedious.

Flank Steak Ragu

As the weather cools off, I want heartier food that warms my soul. This ragu is no exception. Full of tender chunks of steak seasoned to perfection. It is great over pasta, polenta or all by itself! Top it with some freshly grated parmesan or a spoonful of ricotta for an extra something special. ThisContinue reading “Flank Steak Ragu”

Homer

Homer might be one of my new favorite restaurants. It is nice, but not pretentious and serves delicious Mediterranean inspired dishes. It is a small restaurant, but cozy. Immediately upon walking in you feel a warm, comfortable, feeling of home that makes you never want to leave. Their decor features cool tones of blue andContinue reading “Homer”

Chocolate Cake + Cream Cheese Frosting

Which is better, brownies or cake? Why choose when you can have a bit of both! Although this says chocolate cake recipe, it is kind of a cross between a dense, gooey brownie and a fluffy chocolate cake – best of both worlds! The bottom and outside has a delicious crunchy, gooey texture, like whenContinue reading “Chocolate Cake + Cream Cheese Frosting”
