It seems like every child in Sweden is capable of making kladdkaka on their own by age 8. Kids grow up helping Mom and Grandma bake this wonderful and simple treat. In fact, most people I know have made kladdkaka so many times that they don’t even need to measure the ingredients.

Curry, Chicken & Wild Rice Salad
Spring has arrived in Minnesota, which makes me crave salads, grilling, long leisurely evenings by the lake, and s’mores.

Savory Cauliflower Waffles
I have a new BFF in the morning, and a large portion of my diet has been altered. What has prompted this transformation? Cauliflower waffles, of course!
Autumn Beef Stew for Slow Cooker
I am embarrassed to admit that I actually like the shorter days of autumn. Seriously! During the long daylight hours of summer, I need to be outdoors from sunrise to sunset. When darkness hits about 6:00, I treasure evening in the cosiness of our home.
