Last weekend finally felt like spring in Minnesota. It was just about 60°, the sun was shining, and fresh air poured in through our windows. My husband and I went for a long walk outside and I felt like a bear coming out of hibernation. It’s sure been a long winter of endless snow and cold temperatures, […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
I want to share one of my go-to muffin recipes that I absolutely love with all of you. This recipe comes from my mom and is one that I grew up enjoying. It’s a basic recipe that is easy to prepare and has yet to fail me. These muffins come out of the oven perfect […]
Tuna Cakes
I’m a big fan of crab cakes, especially the ones from Scoma’s in San Francisco. Scoma’s is one of my favorite restaurants and my husband and I make a point to stop there for dinner whenever we’re in town. It’s a unique looking place and a bit hidden from the main stretch of restaurants on […]
Chipotle-Style Burrito Bowls
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost March because this winter is just never-ending! The few days of “warm” weather last week (warm compared to the endless days of below zero temps!) was a nice reprieve, but then of course we got dumped on with almost another foot of snow and it’s back to cold […]
Valentine’s Day Menu
Awhile back, my husband and I stopped going out to eat for Valentine’s Day and started making dinner at home. Not only do we avoid the craziness at restaurants, we can enjoy a nice, relaxing night at home – plus it’s fun making dinner together. Two years ago, after we received a fondue pot for […]
Caramel Pull Aparts
I was first introduced to caramel pull aparts in 7th grade when my Home Ec teacher divided our class into groups, gave us this recipe, and tested our cooking skills. I can still remember how amazing they smelled coming out of the oven and how delicious that first bite (and every other bite of these […]
Butternut Squash Soup
During the winter, especially ones like this year, when there are endless weeks of below zero temperatures, I prefer to eat something warm for lunch. Eating a cold salad just doesn’t sound appealing when I feel a draft coming through the window by my desk or my feet are ice-cold. Lately I’ve been really wondering […]
Beet Ravioli with Ricotta & Goat Cheese Filling
I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with beets as of late. I didn’t like them as a kid and never really gave them a second chance until last summer when I received some in our CSA. I instantly changed my mind about them; I couldn’t, and still can’t get enough of them. Not only do […]
Basil & Kale Pesto
Pesto is one of the easiest pasta sauces to make and has such a great, fresh taste. It’s typically made with basil and pine nuts, but I didn’t have enough basil so I decided to try it with kale. Spinach would be another great ingredient to substitute. The earthy, green flavor complements just about any […]
Maple & Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon
The first time I prepared salmon was about 3 years ago and it went terribly wrong. My idea of baking it on a cookie sheet was not such a good idea. The oil and glaze ended up splattering everywhere, leaving the oven a mess. That wasn’t even the worst part. It started to smoke so […]
