BIG STATE. BIG ADVENTURE. BIG ANIMALS. BIG APPETITES.

We also have big hearts, big tables, and big offerings to share.

Up here in The Last Frontier, we do everything BIG.

I am a "Sourdough" AKer and love this exceptionally beautiful and fruitful place we call home. My favorite place to explore is just out my door in Eagle River -- or as I like to say, "Alaska starts here". 

My favorite day is a looooong one in the middle of the summer when the Midnight Sun blesses us with seemingly endless sunshine.

First, a big adventure in the mountains with my family and the dogs. (Quincy is my other four-legged furry friend, but he’s an old man and prefers the couch these days.) My philosophy on adventure is the bigger and dirtier, the better!

Then, a siesta in the sunshine in the afternoon with a sparkling seltzer and some fresh berries. I particularly like to read my book with my eyes closed.

Next, a super fresh and delicious dinner on the deck using as many local ingredients as possible.

Finally, some yard games with the fam to close out an epic day in the Midnight Sun.

I love to cook and bake and really love to document my adventures with the awesome food I eat along the way.  

I hope you enjoy the stories and the recipes that go along with them.
