Healthy Dessert Recipe – Swag Bars
We could all use a little swagger. You know a little strut in our step? Some of you are probably, or hopefully, accomplishing that this year by resolving to eat healthier. I always try to eat healthy, but sometimes it’s hard to find a delicious HEALTHY, dessert...
Popular Movies Filmed in Montana
I love movies, and I especially love watching a good movie that was filmed in Montana. It’s even more exciting if the movie is filmed in Missoula. It’s so cool to watch all the different scenes and say, “Hey! I know where that is!” I’m sure you all agree with me when I say that Montana is THE most beautiful place, and most definitely the best backdrop for any film genre...
Something Unique – Italian Nachos
Typically, my fiancé cooks me something delicious on Sundays. It’s usually something extravagant and time consuming – and also, usually VERY delicious. Since Tuesday was New Years Day, he had the day off, so we decided to treat it like a Sunday...
Lobster Mac and Cheese
I was out to dinner last week and ordered lobster mac and cheese. I had never had this dish, but I love lobster and I love pasta, so I thought “how can I go wrong?” Unfortunately, just like every other time I have ordered mac and cheese from a restaurant, the macaroni noodles were soggy...
Celebrate New Year’s Eve, Montana Style with With Cold Hard Cash
It was strange to think that we were even going to see 2013 with the supposed “Mayan Apocalypse” scheduled to happen recently. Now, we look ahead at a new year, and this year we Missoulians are going to party “Montana Style” with LIVE music from The Cold Hard Cash Show...
Missoula Cracking Down on Snow Covered Sidewalks
I am one of snow’s biggest fans, but I absolutely HATE shoveling it! Especially because I believe that snow should stay un-touched, since it’s just so darn beautiful! Sure, I understand having to clear the driveway, but even for that task, I start up the four-wheeler and slap on the plow. It ...
“It’s a Wonderful Life” Comes to Missoula – A Flashback to the Golden Radio Days
Lots of us don't remember the days where radio was the only media streamed into homes. But every program on the air used to be a big production. Employing everything from sound effects guys to actors to live studio audiences. This Christmas, Missoula can relive those golden days of broadcasting.
My Secret Spaghetti Recipe
Ok, so the title says it all – I am releasing my top secret recipe for a truly one of a kind spaghetti sauce. This sauce is super easy; in fact, it’s almost as simple as twisting off a lid to a bottle of Ragu. With just three ingredients, and salt being the only seasoning, the sauce is not only impressive, but extremely inexpensive...
Creative Hot Chocolate Recipes
Who doesn’t love hot chocolate? Hot cocoa is one of those beverages that you can drink directly out of a packaged mix and it is still satisfying. However, after trying any of these hot chocolate combinations, I highly doubt you will ever drink it plain again...
White Bean Soup with Bacon and Herbs
This is one of my favorite soups to make when the weather gets cold. It’s a soup with a light broth, with chunky great northern beans, and a sprinkling of bacon. Including prep and cook time, it will be ready to serve in two hours and serves 12...

Missoula Winery will be hosting a wine and chocolate tasting on Wednesday, November 28, in collaboration with Dove Chocolate Discoveries. Your taste buds will experience a unique flavor fusion of French style wines and delicious chocolate varieties...
Warm Up With These Cold Weather Cocktails
When most Missoulians want to warm up during the cold days of November, they often grab a bowl of soup, a fuzzy throw, turn up the heat or stoke the fire and cuddle up on the couch. When I want to warm up, I do all the above, plus I make myself one (or a few) of these cozy, warmth inducing drinks...
