It’s been just over a year since I last wrote here…that’s terrible! 2016 was a business & family focused year…and honestly, I’ve missed playing with my food! 😜 I didn’t spend much time trying new recipes either, but instead just kept plugging along with our usual favorites. Sometimes that’s just the easiest route, you know? This year however, I have decided we need to thin out … Continue reading Life is busy…
Hello lovelies! I’ve missed you! I have been busy with Real Estate and with the end of the school year, which for some reason, is always nuts. Is it that way at your house? It’s the last week of school here, and for one kid, it’s all play…the other kid, all tests! After the Winter that we had, Spring finally arrived with brilliant blue skies … Continue reading Summer Favorites…
Happy Spring foodie friends! Yes, I know, if you live in Minnesota, it isn’t feeling much like it yet… Even Augie says “I’m outta here!” You know it’s been bad when the cats want to migrate south…. It’s been a crazy ‘mad’ month for me… the hubby flew out of town twice this month…it’s tax time, as you know…which always makes me a little psychotic! … Continue reading My March Madness…
A favorite book series to many, the story of Waldo (known to the rest of the world as “Wally”), lost in a sea of people & things. Your challenge, is to find him. Always dressed in a red & white striped shirt, with goofy glasses & hat. Can you find him? I’ve been feeling a bit like Waldo this past month. This time of year … Continue reading Where’s Waldo?
Today is 12-21-12 and I am thankful to be alive. Not just because I woke up today…(Mayan Calendar and all) but because I have survived the past two weeks! For those of you that don’t know, my “day job” finds me running, the White Bear Gift Basket Company. As you can imagine, I’ve been busy with holiday basket orders. And not just busy, but so … Continue reading Whew…well that was fun!
Rhubarb Beer Jam & dinner…… Hey beer lovers! This months beer is Summit Sága IPA described by Summit as a beer with “Epic hop character”. I love anything that is referred to as “epic”! Usually I am not a fan of big hoppy beers, but this one is so clean & bright & fresh, that the first sip I had, I knew I liked it! Further description … Continue reading Beer for a Year, month seven…
I’ve been wanting to make a photo collage of my best food moments of 2011…wondering what all that food together would look like…I did that tonight and boy, did I eat good last year! Wow, and I’m surprised I only put on an extra 5+ pounds this past year…good eats! Food trucks, Minnesota Food Blogger events, Fondue-Sushi-Carpet Picnic nights all at home, new restaurants, new … Continue reading Food, 2011
Tonight was carpet picnic night. Many years back, Mark & I started doing a dinner where the main “dish” was a wheel of gooey melted Brie cheese. We would make other items to eat with, add a loaf of crunchy french bread and plop ourselves on the floor at our coffee table to watch a movie. Thus began the tradition of the “carpet picnic”. Today, … Continue reading Carpet Picnic…..
