Pumpkin Pancakes

As we said goodbye to the Pacific northwest and started our journey back to Colorado for the holidays, the seasons quickly changed for us.

Green Curry Wonton Soup

Green Curry Wonton Soup

This dish was the second course at our most recent forest feast, and was my favorite of the night. A Thai-inspired take on wonton soup, it consists of chewy little wontons stuffed with scallion and basil-infused shrimp and pork, floating in a simple coconut and
