a fresh beginning

Welcome to Pickles and Coffee. My name is Charlie and I have an affinity for all things homemade and delicious. Recipes, DIY's, crafts, you name it! But recently while working for Clos Pepe Vineyards just north of Santa Barbara, California, I discovered my true passion... roasting coffee. Its funny how I stumbled upon it working in the wine industry, but sometimes thats just how God works. So now, I've decided to venture to Seattle, Washington with a hunger for freshly roasted beans and knowledge of the industry's best.

In the mean time, get ready for some fun and amazing recipes from my lovely friend Ashley. She lives in Santa Barbara, California and can cook the pants off a mannequin...
