Fighting Boredom with Healthy Food, Creative Living + Good WIne
I have a neighbor who planted mostly pollinator friendly plants in her front yard, and it’s a joy to walk by her house. There’s always an assortment of happy butterflies and bees floating about and besides being very pretty, it…

It’s time to seek out personal care products that nourish not just our bodies—but also our planet. Luckily, more and more personal care companies are committing to producing cleaner, safer cosmetics that support health and sustainability.
One day I woke up and I was in my 40’s. To me, age is just a number and to prove it, I will occasionally do a cartwheel in the park. This is also a surefire way to embarrass the kids! However, embarrassing cartwheels aside, […]
In the spirit of the summer pepper season, I decided to bring a little heat to basic chunky corn fritters with fresh jalapeno. If you like a lot of spice, simply leave more jalapeno seeds in this recipe.
I used a pre-roasted frozen corn from Trader Joes, but regular corn (or even better – fresh sweet corn!) would work great.
Mix all ingredients until well covered into a lumpy batter.
In a large pan, heat on medium-high 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add 3 large spoonfuls of batter and tamper down to slightly flatten.
Adjust heat as needed. You want these to crisp up on each side, but not burn.
Flip when solid and slightly browned on one side. (about 2-3 minutes)
Cook for another 2-3 minutes and serve with fresh sour cream and/or pico de gallo.
You may make these in advance and reheat in the oven for appetizers!
This recipe makes 9 good sized fritters.
Summer is bursting with peppers right now, and our stores are practically giving away huge hatch peppers!
Summer means a bounty of fresh peppers and corn on the cob. This is a quick salad to make, but will need time to chill. Using fresh summer shishito peppers, this salad will have a kick – or will it? They say 1 out […]

It always amazes me how many of my Californian friends have never been to Oregon. If they need a little encouragement to head North, I tell them Oregon is a diverse state with dramatic ocean cliffs, lush green forests and arid deserts in the east. […]
