Peach Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
I love fresh Farmer’s Market finds – especially when I come across seasonal items that I know will be at the peak of flavor. I found some strawberry rhubarb last week at a local mid-week market and wanted to highlight the fresh flavors in something quick and easy for our fun-filled summer mornings. I’ve also …
Summer Rhubarb Bread
Summer. It deserves its own sentence. It’s sweet, delicious & exudes happiness. If this bread was in the dictionary, it would be listed under summer! Rhubarb is in its prime in Minnesota right now and I grabbed some at my local farmers market last weekend with this recipe in mind. Rhubarb transports me back to summers …
Vegetable Lo Mein – Gluten Free
I distinctly remember trying Lo Mein for the first time. It was from a takeout restaurant in my hometown in a tiny strip mall a few doors down from my mom’s business. It was everything you want Lo Mein to be:: greasy, garlicky, and loaded with flavors I’ll never forget. The place is still in …
Maple Glazed Jalapeño Bacon
We often joke in my family that it’s a prerequisite to love bacon. While we are only half serious, my family’s love for bacon is serious business. Bacon is love – there’s a reason Emeril’s saying “Pork Fat Rules” became popular! It’s an instant pick me up to any bad day and there isn’t a …
Savory Tomato & Onion Galette
This dish proves that good food doesn’t need to be complicated. Dinner time at our house often looks chaotic from an outsider’s perspective, so the last thing I need is complicated recipes to add to the chaos. We have an almost 4 year old running in one direction, an almost 1 year old crawling in …
Citrus Infusion Cocktail
I recently picked up a large amount of Kumquats at the store and they were bursting with tartness and vibrance. It was almost like an entree to the spring, sunshine and the warmer weather we’ve finally been enjoying in a tiny little orange package. They pack a punch that’s so lovely and unexpected, and in …
Bloody Mary
Occasionally, I enjoy a good Bloody Mary. A few spots in Minneapolis have really nailed my preference in flavor town. A recent jaunt to Smack Shack with some good company (Find Laurie at Relishing It!) made me want to create a recipe of my own for those once in a while Bloody cravings. I found a juice …
Dark Chocolate Brownies – Gluten Free
Every now and again, this girl needs some chocolate. It’s like a warm blanket on a cold day; pair it with a cup of coffee…it’s almost as good as a beach vacation. Both sides of our family has a few members who struggle with gluten, so I’m always looking for new ways to bring either …
Lasagna Soup
I have this sweet little 3 year old who has a zeal for life like no one else I’ve known. She’s passionate about everything {including her opinions}…except cheese. I can’t even begin to imagine life without cheese, and at times I find my cooking techniques to be somewhat creative to create a meal everyone will …
Baked Apple Fritters
Apple fritters:: the one and only donut that truly trips my trigger. I love the spices, the fruit and the textures – and if I’m going to indulge in a donut, it’s going to be this one! In my desire to keep knowledge of where my foods come from {from an ingredients standpoint} and minimize …
