Ahhh, Spring. What does spring mean to you? Flowers, biking, baby animals? Correct answer? Rosé, of course! That fresh, delicious pink wine screams “Drink me!” as the weather turns warmer. (Or we pretend it’s turning warmer and hope we don’t wake up to snow.) I’m not talking about your momma’s pink wine. The ubiquitous pink [...]
I can finally say I am a local now. It has been five years since I moved to the valley, and I even tried to leave for the other side of the world only to learn that Jackson is home. But after many off-seasons, and travels abroad, returning home never felt so good. Usually this [...]
Anyone having a craving for the Snake River Grill’s famously cold Eskimo Bars during our recent heat wave is in luck. The restaurant reopens for its 20th season tonight! To celebrate, they are offering a different special starting this Sunday. See full calendar here: Local Special Calendar copy. Free Eskimo Bars will be offered with the purchase [...]
Last weekend I went into the grocery store to pick up some fruit and was shocked to find bags of fresh Key limes – a rarity not just in Jackson, but they are hard to find in other places too. Immediately I knew what I was making that weekend: Key lime pies! I grew up [...]
May is the month for planning, planting and even beginning to harvest from your vegetable and herb garden. Living in the Jackson area, we are limited by our short growing season, but with the right preparation and care, we can grow a multitude of crops. First and foremost, now is the time to prep your [...]
Jackson Hole has about one brewery for every 7,000 people. And if you factor in breweries from the region, there’s about one for every 3,000. That’s what I call well served. And to celebrate all that’s brewing in our local beer community during American Craft Beer Week, the valley’s newest brewery, Roadhouse Brewing Co., is [...]
Atmosphere enhances everything. And at Nani’s, a newly remodeled look creates an updated, yet classic, environment to enjoy the food you have always loved. The Parker family, who have been in business serving classic Italian fare since 1990, wanted to enhance the character of the older building they occupy on Glenwood Street. Son Buck Parker [...]
My lunchbox this month is in limbo between the seasons: I’ve been craving to fill it with fresh, crunchy foods, but I still need something to ward off the mid-spring chill. Soup is still what I want to eat for lunch most days. One of the most divine soups I’ve ever had is the BLT [...]
I am not sure if it is the weather, the change in season or the fact that I am busy with work, but I am uninspired. So how can I inspire others to get inspired to cook in this state? I can’t! So, I must find a way out of this dark hole and find [...]
I had given up on going out to eat at Italian restaurants since I found out I had Celiac Disease. I didn’t think it was worth getting stuck with only a salad, or one allergy friendly dish on the menu. But I decided to test my luck at Giovanni’s, and I was pleasantly surprised! I [...]
I am back! And by back, I mean back in the kitchen with enthusiasm about it again. I have more time on my hands, there are more spring vegetables trickling into the markets and I am finally enjoying making more food at home. It feels good; cooking is fun! This last weekend I made [...]
Do you think you make the best chili? Is it better than, say, the Kick Ass Chili made by Terry King from the Town Square Tavern? Tastier than Vom Fass owner Kim Weiss’s creative concoction? Then put your skills to the test May 19 at the The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce’s High Noon Chili [...]
