I am so excited to partner with Honest Cooking to take part in the Fiji Water #myhometownguide campaign. My task was to select my five favorite foodie and culinary-inspired spots in Portland, Oregon. And I must admit that this was no easy feat.

These prosciutto-wrapped goat cheese-stuffed jalapeno poppers look fancier than they really are. In terms of the ingredient list and the preparation steps they are as simple as an appetizer gets. Dress them up for a holiday cocktail party or share them at a casual summer BBQ.

I have had the opportunity to work on the Pass the Prosciutto – Gluten Free Holiday Entertaining campaign through Prosciutto di Parma. The Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma (the organization that certifies this ham from the hills around Parma, Italy and gives the brand of ham its quality seal of approval) is celebrating 50 years although the tradition of making this ham is more than 1,000 years old.

Pytt i Panna {little bits in a pan}, is basically a Swedish hash comprised of piping hot bits of fried meat, potatoes and onion. Though variations abound, the dish is a lesson on how sometimes the simplest lists of ingredients can produce a comforting, flavorful meal.

I have recently found that quinoa is a great addition to my back-to-school repertoire because these soy-ginger quinoa salad wraps, for example, can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator, ready to go for lunches, after-school snacks, and busy weeknight dinners.
