Caprese salad is one of the easiest, yet amazingly flavorful salads you’ll ever make. Can it get much simpler than tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil? Thanks to our wonderful CSA, I’ve had a plethora of delicious, fresh, Minnesota grown vegetables on hand, including tomatoes and basil. I picked up some fresh mozzarella, made a quick balsamic […]
Ricotta, Basil & Spinach Stuffed Chicken
I’m guessing most of you have eaten chicken kiev or chicken cordon bleu. You know, the kind from the freezer aisle at your grocery store. I’ll admit I used to love eating them; who doesn’t love breaded chicken with gooey, delicious cheese and ham oozing out of the middle? But you know what’s even better? […]
Progressive Dinner in Santa Rosa
My husband and I spent some time in Santa Rosa, California last fall while touring wineries in the Sonoma Valley. On our last night in the city, we wanted to do something unique that would allow us to maximize our experience in a short amount of time. We decided to do a progressive dinner, stopping […]
Mashed Cauliflower, a Great Alternative to Traditional Mashed Potatoes
It may surprise you, but cauliflower is a great, flavorful alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. Cauliflower can be difficult to incorporate into a meal plan, especially if you have picky eaters who don’t love the taste. For fun, try swapping out mashed potatoes for this cauliflower dish and see if your family can notice the difference. […]
We Joined a CSA!
I first learned about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) last summer and since then I’ve been very interested in joining one. I love the idea of supporting a local farm and eating fresh, Minnesota-grown food. In case you aren’t familiar with a CSA, think of it as an investment in a farm for the summer. You […]
Making Homemade Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of my favorite foods, if not my favorite. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I eat it several times a week. I’ve been really into making food from scratch and using real, natural ingredients, so of course I thought why buy ice cream when I could be making it myself? The […]

Napa Wineries Part I
My husband attended the Google I/O conference in San Francisco last month and I tagged along for a mini vacation. My sister came with us, so while my husband was in workshops all day, she and I went to the spa and spent a day in Napa. I’ve been to the Napa and Sonoma region […]
Cheese Stuffed Shells
Most recipes I have seen and used for stuffed pasta, whether lasagna rolls, manicotti, or shells, call for ricotta cheese. I didn’t have any ricotta on hand the last time I made stuffed shells so I decided to improvise and use cottage cheese. I was curious about how it would affect the texture and consistency […]
Zucchini Chips
I really enjoy zucchini but I get bored with it as I find myself preparing it the same way each time. I typically slice it up and sauté it on the stove with some olive oil, salt and pepper. I usually serve it on the side with chicken or fish, or sometimes toss it in […]
