I say “new life” as we pack the entire beach house today and begin the three-day journey home tomorrow. Ha! Oh. So – week three in Oregon! And it’s another massive post because I’m just awful at narrowing down photos and trimming the fat. I have to show you everything! IS THAT SO BAD? Don’t […]
Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Casserole
Well hello there, you creamy vision of wonderment. You know how some days you just need something extra sinful? I knew we understood each other. We’ve been eating so much seafood this month (beyond delicious), but I’ve been craving something a liiiiiiittle creamy and indulgent. So I made you a simple little cassie! And by […]

Honey Goat Cheese Crostini
It was going to be the perfect beach picnic, it was. Except, there’s this thing in nature called wind. And sand. Have you heard about them? Wind and sand? So the thing about wind is this: it’s unexpected. And sudden. And obnoxiously gusty. And it moves the sand when it blows. Like, the sand leaves […]
Spaghetti with Razor Clams
OKAY listen. I had no idea that pacific razor clams are the size of baby elephants. They are like, super mammothy. WAY DIFFERENT than the long, thin ones you’re most likely imagining right now.

Friday Flotsam
FLIBBERS FLOOBERS FRIDDERS DAY. My nose always itches when I run the kitchen sink water. Isn’t that weird? Always. I’ll be gearing up to tackle the dishes, completely fine, itch free, and then I flip the water on, and as soon as the water + soap touches my hands and begins to lather, my nose […]
