These graham crackers are SO good that I’ve made two batches this past week. Disclaimer: our yellow lab did a very bad thing and knocked the first round on the floor. He happily polished off all but one before my daughter caught him in the act. He would honestly eat anything, so don’t hold any stock to his enthusiasm. I knew this recipe was worth a re-bake and a share when both of my teenagers bemoaned the fact that they only ate them for one s’more each. And when I baked the second batch, my husband kept trying to steal some before I was able to make them look pretty for a photo. My daughter compared these crackers to the...
We’ve been following furniture company Stattmann Neue Moebel for a while; the German brand makes one of our favorite entryway storage pieces—the Unit Coat Rack, which makes an appearance in our book Remodelista: The Organized Home. The firm has made it their mission to produce “furniture with a clear design language and clever details, unpretentious and functional, manufactured with high-quality craftsmanship and precision, and marked by a responsible use of ecological materials.” (Music to our ears!)

I haven’t left my house or interacted with others in any significant way for over a month now. It is such a strange time we are living in that it’s rendered everything that I still hopefully cling to as some sort of ideal of “normal” as quaint: hugging friends gathered together for a yoga class, inviting a family over for dinner on Sunday night, or taking mine to our favorite Ethiopian restaurant for dinner. The arrival of coronavirus to Seattle, the first epicenter in a series of our nation’s cities to follow in the pandemic, was so sudden, so synchronized with others in distant cities, that it felt like a systematic shutdown of normal life as we knew it then....
Smoked sausage is the secret to the BEST stuffed mushrooms ever! These make a great holiday appetizer or for a family gathering! What could be better than delicious bite sized stuffed mushrooms filled with savory goodness? The answer is smoked sausage in that filling! Add smoked sausage to an already flavorful filling of shallots, garlic, crème fraîche, parmesan cheese (and more), and then smoke the stuffed mushrooms to create the ultimate stuffed mushroom. Smoking bulk sausage (sausage not in casings) is an easy way to get incredible smoked flavor into a number of meals. A few of my favorites include, smoked sausage and lentil soup, the smoked sausage and hatch chili beer cheese dip(!!!), and smoked sausage lasagna. It’s a...
