So, I’m supposed to be in Seattle right now but my body decided to completely shut down on me right before my trip to Iowa annnnd so I had to change up plans and move Seattle & PDX to next weekend. I’m super surprised that I was able to change my flight so easily (and with minimal costs).

Linguine and clam sauce is so flavorful and takes no time to put together!


Let me just tell you this – laryngitis SUCKS. Seriously, I sound horrible. Ask everyone on the #IACornQuest and Megan and Carla who heard me on the phone last night to break the news to them.

So yeah. I’m resting up and heading out next week. I figure it’s better to do that than to have no voice and be miserable all weekend. Plus, we’re doing a FOOD TOUR of Seattle & Portland – what kind of food tour would I be on if I couldn’t even taste anything?!

Anyway, this recipe I’m sharing with y’all today comes from Jenna’s AMAZING book, White Jacket Required.

I have so many praises for that book. I love how close I felt to Jenna, as if I were her real life friend. The way she told her story and her experiences, made me feel like I was there with her. I literally laughed and cried with her. I felt silly crying in bed as I was reading parts of the book, but that’s how real it felt. It’s such a heartwarming book. You won’t be able to put it down. I love all the recipes she scattered throughout the book, makes you hungry reading it!

This linguine and clam pasta was exceptional. So easy to make and every bite made you want more and more until your plate was empty!
