Life Lately
Summer in Montana means lots of outdoor parties with light and fresh food on the menu. Nothing says summer parties like a backyard seafood boil.
Welcome to the Sacajawea Hotel, where dreams are women into extraordinary experiences. As a hotelier, we hold the key to creating moments that leave a lasting imprint on the hearts of our guests.
“Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.” Hope you all had a great day!
This green soup is full of feel-good veggies and greens, it’s quick and easy to make. It’s been a staple in my kitchen for years, my family knows it as the post-vacay, gotta-catch-up-on-those-greens, feel-good soup. This soup is great to ‘empty out the refrigerator’ kind of soup, the recipe is very flexible.
Spending extra time in the kitchen this snowy weekend. This is my favorite salad of all time, I pretty eat it everyday @thefarmersdaughterscafe.
Affagato is Nick and my favorite dessert in Italy. We recreated it in our kitchen, and it’s so insanely good! OUr version, carmel ice cream and graham cracker crumbs to top it off!
We’ve been on a longevity kick at our house, reading and learning all about living great as we age. Fish is definietly on the approved list. This Mediterranean Roasted White Fish is simple and delicious.
Livv and I like to make Breakfast for the Boys (aka dad and Henry) once a week. Here has been a favorite in our house.
Warm, cozy, and flavorful. Here is my take on French Onion Soup. Our family loved the croutons with cheese versus a large piece of bread.
If you know you know about this salad. When visiting Bozeman Blackbird Kitchen is a must for dinner. The food is fresh and the pizza is good as anywhere in Italy.
I’m hosting Christmas Dinner this year with Nick’s family and my family. On the menu…Pasta! This is hands down my favorite pasta dish to serve for guests. It’s easy and a crowd pleaser.
A classic and delicious combo, this simple yet luxurious canapé is one of my favorites to serve for friends and family.
This marvelous fall dinner is sure to impress your guests or your children. Also, a great way to use the last of the pumpkins this season.
NEW RECIPE // Squash and Brussel Sprouts with Poached Eggs
This dish would make for an excellent Thanksgiving side dish (omit egg) or you could pair it with the roasted chicken I posted last week.
Whole Roasted Chicken -- the reviews are in (from my little family) this is the best chicken I’ve ever made. Usually my chicken tends to be dry, this was supper easy, ultra juice. The flavors of tangy lemon, garlic and thyme keep this whole dish feeling equal parts hearty and light. Happy Cooking!
This eggplant parmesan quickly became one of my family’s favorite. Inspired by our trip to Lake Como, this dish is layered with fresh herbs (thanks mom), tomato sauce, and cheese 🍆 🧀 🇮🇹
This homemade tomato sauce recipe is so fresh and delicious! I use it as pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and used it in eggplant parmigiana this past weekend.
We celebrated Olivia’s 5th Birthday with cake and Champagne. Cake for the kiddos and Champagne for the mother’s considering it was Mother’s Day weekend. Olivia loves ballet and it was her idea for the theme, which I had way too much fun putting together!
Sharing all the details of Olivia’s 6th Birthday. She has always been my girly girl and LOVES birthdays. After spending time in London, I knew a proper tea party would be the perfect theme.
