I wanted to re-create a dish from one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Newport, OR. (It has since moved to Corvallis) The original dish is a sautéed shiitake mushroom and spinach dish and the broth is so delicately delicious.

I took a break from posting to take a family trip to Oregon over Easter. It was so wonderful to see my daughter and family and catch up with everyone in person. The Oregon coast is so beautiful and majestic and I just feel so at peace when I’m walking or running along the … Continue reading

I wanted to combine a few ideas … Continue reading

This salad is delicious served warm or at room temperature, but it’s even better after it’s chilled for a couple of hours so the flavors deepen. First … Continue reading
