I can’t believe it has been almost a week since our long weekend trip to Seattle. Time flies by too fast, and I wish we could do it all over again. One of my favorite parts of the trip, other than the food, was visiting the Chihuly Garden and Glass. It is so mesmerizing to see the glass sculptures and realize just how many different pieces of blown glass are installed together to create one masterpiece.

I’m back from Seattle! And so behind with all the work that I need to do. I stepped away from everything for a few days just to enjoy being a tourist in a new city and basically to eat to my heart’s content. I am so not joking. Never ever let me order food when I’m hungry because I always think I can eat more than I really can. It’s how we ended up with 7 orders of dumplings and 3 bowls of noodles. Lol.
It’s berry season! And how can I be anything but obsessed with the abundance of berries during the summer?
I love walking through the farmer’s market and discovering vendors dedicated just to berries. There are so many types, all of which are sweet and absolutely perfect during the summer months. My favorite to eat are blackberries, but my favorite to bake with are blueberries. Which berries are your favorite?

These past few days in San Francisco has been a combination of warm and cold weather. Which is honestly, typical of San Francisco. I was up at the Legion of Honors, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge while standing in the middle of wildflowers.
We don’t really have seasons in San Francisco so oftentimes we see more overcast skies and fog. But I don’t think I would want it any other way.

There’s a new dessert place that just opened in the Marina district called U Dessert Story: Vintage. It’s walking distance from where I work. And all of a sudden, I find myself wandering in there three times in one week. Lol. Amazing desserts. Pretty drinks. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to stop for a pick me up right now.

Counting down the days until it is officially summer.
We’re so close to the summer season that I can feel it. Longer days, gorgeous sunsets, wildflowers blooming. It’s the time of year where I want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Soaking in the sun, frolicking at the park. And honestly, as little time as possible in the kitchen.
So this baked salmon green curry bowl is exactly the kind of meal I need.
