Cheese & Herb Pull Apart Bread
As autumn creeps into Minnesota, menus tend to shift from BBQ’s and salads to soups and heartier dishes that warm both the body and the soul. To accompany those meals, what could be better than a soft and herbaceous bread filled with cheese in every layer? Food really is a love language for some people – clearly …
Pumpkin Muffins
The other night I was walking down the stairs and the minute my feet hit the ground my oldest and husband, grins wide, began chanting “we want pumpkin bread! We want pumpkin bread!” A few things are irresistible, you see – and their sweet smiles are one of those things. Pumpkin bread is another. Immediate …
Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter Scones
These scones may make any English tea lover cringe, but they are ranking pretty high in my book for a sweet breakfast indulgence. If you’ve never had cookie butter from Trader Joes – do yourself a favor and run there ASAP and buy two jars. The first one you will notice disappears with only a …
Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie
It’s mid-September, which means it’s been at least a month since the onset of pumpkin everywhere drinks or treats at coffee shops and bakeries. I love autumn and all of the flavors that come with it – but I like to wait until the weather cools a bit and let summer run its course before …
Rosemary Cheddar Tots
My family has an affinity for tots. {Okay, most families probably have an affinity for tots.} While time doesn’t always permit for everything to be homemade – I like to recreate things to keep the ingredients pure whenever possible. What I’ve found is when I’m able to make foods from scratch, my mom guilt decreases and typically …
Mint Cold Brew
Iced coffee is where it’s at in our house. It’s what we look forward to the moment we walk downstairs and my husband and I enjoy a tumbler {or two} together every morning. Our youngest daughter even knows that it’s a part of our morning routine and often helps fill our cups with ice. While …
Watermelon Champagne Cocktail
Whether you’re hosting a Girls Night In or searching for a refreshing fancy{ish} drink to serve at a dinner party: this one is a nice change of pace with some bright flavors. Champagne is one of my favorite cocktails of choice. It’s celebratory and pairs well with almost anything and any occasion. I have a “push …
Plum Torte
Sometimes life just calls for a torte. For no reason at all, other than to celebrate fresh ingredients that are in season. They seem so fancy, but are truly quite simple to make. While the weather in Minneapolis has been grey and rainy over the past few days, it’s given my girls and me some …
Peach Sweet Rolls
These rolls…I don’t even know where to begin. These are dedicated to my sweet sister who loves food as much as I do – and agrees to be my taste tester whenever I need one. Today was such a day that I invited her over to lunch so our kids could play, we could rely on one another …
Watermelon Margarita
Summer is by far my favorite season and I relish every waking moment of it. My husband has coined this summer: “The Summer of Julia.” We are huge Seinfeld fans, and I’ve been able to do things this summer I’ve been wanting to do for years. Dreams only become a reality when you make them happen, …
