I can tell spring is here and summer is around the corner, because rhubarb has been all over my Instagram feed. I’ve had bakery desserts with the red celery-like stalk, but I had never made anything with it myself. Everyone else is doing it, so …
Dovetailing off the Chicken Enchiladas I made for the Sho-Yu holiday party we had (yes, still a few months behind here), I wanted to share the dessert I made for the potluck! I took advantage of hosting the party this year and picked a dessert …
I cooked up a STORM of freezer friendly meals over weeks leading up to Mia’s arrival last fall. I found a recipe for the “best enchiladas ever” on Gimme Some Oven and was obviously intrigued. I liked that the site also provided a recipe for enchilada sauce …

I didn’t have as much time to bake this year with our new little roommate to tend to, but it wouldn’t have felt like a holiday season without making SOME sort of treats. I had to make the usual batch of Furikake Chex Mix and tried …
