spiralized potatoes with fried rosemary
Is it breakfast? Or is it a side dish? My husband and I can't seem to agree. I think this recipe for Spiralized Potatoes with Fried Rosemary seems more like a dressed up hash browns. He thinks it would be the perfect accompaniment to something meaty. What we can agree...
redesigning garden city
For the Summer 2016 edition of Edible Idaho I paired up with Scott Ki to write this article on the changing scene of Garden City. Redesigning Garden City Artisans blend drinks and design in urban environment By Scott Ki and Linda Whittig Photos by Gabriel Border In...
strawberry fruit leather
Growing up my mom was the kind of mom that rationed the sugar. I studied the ingredient statements on boxes in the cereal aisle at the grocery store with serious determination as I was only allowed ones whose first ingredient was not sugar. This is harder than it...
smoked cream ice cream + candied bacon + pecans
This was originally posted on August 11, 2012 but I've updated it a bit and also added new photography. Enjoy! I have yet to find anything that isn't better with bacon. I'm not saying it's not out there but it's seeming doubtful. I tried testing the theory by making...
toast with lemon ricotta and fruit
Now this is my kind of late summer breakfast. You know the time of year – when all the markets are full of fuzzy peaches and dark purple plums. The kind of fruit that was picked ripe because it was grown locally. The kind of ripeness you can smell half an aisle away....
indulge boise food tours
Although my first visit to New York City was a whirlwind work trip, my most awesome client knew I love food and wanted to give me at least a tiny taste of what the city had to offer. To do this, she signed us up for a culinary walking tour of Chelsea. Over the course...

teff rosemary nut crackers
There's these really fancy crackers – I won't mention their name but they tempt me in the aisles of Whole Foods. The palette of jewel tones representing the different flavors. The nuts and seeds and dried fruits peeking at me through the cellophane window. Hanging...
watermelon with yogurt & fried rosemary
Every season has tastes that define it but none more so than summer. Red tomatoes and basil picked from the backyard; peaches so ripe that juice drips off my chin and fingers when I eat them; and nothing beats really cold, crisp watermelon on a hot day. I start buying...
albertsons grocery delivery
No wonder summertime is the darling of the seasons. It’s warmer, it’s light later and it seems like it is decidedly more fun. For me, that means gardening until way past my bedtime, riding bikes, swimming and cooking out with friends. Frankly, sometimes it’s hard to...
national night out in the SNOW block
The creation of the SNOW Block has done wonders in helping our neighbors get to know each other. One thing I hear over and over from people visiting the project is how they wish they could do something similar in their neighborhood. Well, for one night a year, it's...
teff porridge
I seem to be addicted to teff these days. It started with these Teff Energy Bars and now this Teff Porridge is easily my new favorite breakfast. And it's just this simple: I cook a pot on Sunday and divvy it up between four containers. In the morning I grab a package,...
