My husband and I recently stopped at Safeway and as we were leaving the store, I saw a table set up with Girl Scout cookies for sale. I haven’t bought cookies in a few years and I was feeling generous, so we got Samoas, Thin Mints and Trefoils, which are shortbread cookies. I don’t think […]
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a Tondryk family tradition at any Holiday get-together. I remember hovering around my Grandma’s island in her kitchen with all of the cousins, eating deviled eggs and potato chips with Top the Tater. And that was pre-Holiday meal! No wonder I was always stuffed. In addition to being the go-to cheese ball […]
Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels sprouts have a bad reputation of being the vegetable that everyone hates. I grew up not liking them even though I don’t think I ever tried them. The good thing is I think people are slowly discovering that Brussels sprouts aren’t the awful tasting vegetables they’re made out to be. When I think about […]
Easter Bunny Cake
I have fond memories of Birthdays as a child because my mom would always make the most creative cakes. I wish I had pictures of all of them to share with you, but some of her notable ones included a gumball machine and a bicycle. In addition to her Birthday cakes, she would often make […]
Club W: A Great Way to Discover New Wines
I’ve said this before, but trying new wines is the best way to understand what you enjoy and to learn about the many variations in wine. If you need to refresh your memory on why wine varies in flavor and what factors impact the change, revisit my article about the variation between vintages of wine. Once you […]
Breakfast Burritos
Every once in a while, I include breakfast for dinner in my weekly meal plans. My husband and I make green juice for breakfast during the work week and we rarely branch away from oats or cereal on the weekends (except when we explore a new restaurant for brunch in Seattle), so having breakfast for […]
Six Grain Porridge
I was first introduced to porridge about a year ago when my cousin Rachel and I met for dinner at People’s Organic in Minnetonka. Until then, I had never even considered trying it, mainly because the only thing I knew about porridge was from Goldilocks and the Three Bears! Hopefully I’m not alone here! 🙂 […]
5 Must-Have Kitchen Appliances
In addition to compiling my top ten kitchen must-have list, I’ve decided to share a list of my favorite appliances that I use frequently and are essentials in my kitchen. I definitely don’t think it’s necessary to own every appliance and gadget out there, but these five appliances will save you time in the kitchen […]
Asian Lettuce Wraps
I’m always looking for new ways to lighten up meals without sacrificing on flavor. One of my favorite go-to meals is my lightened version of spaghetti and meatballs. I swap the noodles with spaghetti squash, allowing me to enjoy the great flavor of spaghetti without eating a heavy meal. Lately, I started swapping out tortilla […]
10 Must-Haves for Every Kitchen
My cousin Rachel recently got married on a gorgeous, snowy day in St. Paul, Minnesota. I know she and her now husband, Joe, worked hard planning out every detail for the event and it all paid off. The beautiful ceremony at St. Mark’s Church was followed by a reception at the Machine Shed. Everything was […]
