A Portland Food Review with Jeff Goins

September 6, 2016 by Talia Bunting 6 Comments

Portland Food Review with Jeff Goins

I first met Jeff Goins in 2007 when I took a trip around the world with a group of people. Jeff joined us for a couple of weeks in Chiapas. Over the past ten years we’ve become good friends and this year, we all decided to rent a house together in Portland for the World Domination Summit with a group.

Then, the six of us spent five days eating and drinking our way through Portland. And let me tell you, Portland + Food + Great People is a winning combination.

11 Dinner Table Manners I’m Trying to Teach My Children

11 Dinner Table Manners I'm Trying to Teach My Children

I have four siblings and we’re all 18 months apart. At one point there were three of us in college. One year we all came home for Christmas and my mother threatened to send us back to Cotillion. Apparently surrounded by our besties at a cafeteria table did not lend itself to good table manners. Something about licking our plates being frowned upon? My mother is such a stickler! We’ve marginally improved since, most assuredly our spouses have probably helped. I’ll be honest, I hate writing these things because I chronically break them and then everyone KNOWS. But, I’ve had many requests for more of these types of blogs, so I am sharing them in good faith that you will not judge me when I come to your house for dinner and break them all.

Yummly

February 29, 2016 by Talia Bunting 1 Comment

Just a quick blog today to let you know about a digital recipe organizer. Recipe organizers abound and while Pinterest is great, Yummly is particularly helpful. It not only is devoted specifically to food, it also categorizes the nutritional content for my recipes. Other than that though, they operate very similarly. I’ve been playing around with it…

Great Dinner Party Hosts Do These 5 Things

Great Dinner Party Hosts Do These 5 Things

Last week I shared a blog on things great dinner party guests do. Today I’m sharing a counterpart to that blog, things that great dinner party hosts do. Creating an environment where your guests feel welcome and at ease (the cardinal rule in hosting) is a learned skill. My mother taught me everything I know about being gracious (which despite her great effort, is still lacking) and my husband has taught me the subtleties of making a guest feel at home. Here are some of the things I have learned.

The Top Ten Pantry Staples Always in My Kitchen

January 22, 2016 by Talia Bunting 7 Comments

Here are the top ten pantry staples I always have in my kitchen

Buying on purpose helps reduce waste (this is also why I avoid grocery shopping while hungry, otherwise I buy 10 cans of spaghettios. Apparently I don’t have enough sodium in my life). That being said, we also need room for whimsy, not everything can be planned, especially in the kitchen. And having a strategically stocked kitchen can help you have intentional whimsy in the kitchen. Below I share ten of my pantry staples that let me be purposeful with those spur of the moment purchases at the grocery store.

Why I Don’t Cook Kid-Friendly Recipes

December 15, 2015 by Talia Bunting 19 Comments

picky eaters

When Marston was 14 months old, we were living in California. I didn’t try many adventurous foods with him because he’s a kid and adventurous foods aren’t kid-friendly, right? He was definitely going to be a picky eater. I thought if I got him to eat an apple and some blueberries I was doing good.
