Bon Bons
I still have the Roasted Shrimp Cocktail recipes from the party to share with you, but I haven’t posted a sweet recipe in nearly a week! For shame! This is the holiday season after all! Not every recipe this month will be rich, indulgent, or a cookie, but…well…some of them need to be,…
Salmon Nicoise
It isn’t you. Do not be alarmed. Don’t bother to rub your eyes and blink rapidly. What you are seeing is real. This is most definitely not an autumnal dish. I am slightly embarrassed to even post this right now as it uses several ingredients that aren’t exactly in season and can be hard…

Tator-Tot Hotdish: A True Minnesota Tradition
There are many things that define a region or state. With Colorado, its the Rockies. Maine makes me think of lobsters. The west coast brings to mind visions of Hollywood. Iowa? Well…nothing comes to mind when I think of Iowa. *smile* And while people always ask me if Minnesota really IS the land…
Oven Roasted Potatoes-AKA Good Lookin’ Man Potatoes
There is an old dutch proverb that reads, “Eat butter first, and eat it last, and live till a hundred years be past.” I don’t know about you, but this seems to be some great advice. Of course we now know that eating too much butter on a regular basis is a…
