Kenai Jalapeño Cheese Dip
Once again, Alaska contributes a brilliant recipe which will be added to my regular rotation. This dip has a bit of creaminess, some smokiness, a little heat, and the tiniest crunch. And it is more versatile than any other dip I’ve ever had. Served cold, Jalapeño Cheese Dip is amazing with chips or fresh veggies. … Read more Kenai Jalapeño Cheese Dip
Confetti Meatloaf – Gluten Free
“There is power in numbers.” Google this phrase and you will see results covering everything from MLK speeches to Egyptian uprisings to Biblical references. In my little piece of the world, it mostly means FEED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
Grandma Sally’s Soft Gluten Free Ginger Cookies
That title may be a mouthful, but you will not be happy until your mouth is filled with these tender, tasty ginger cookies! My Grandma Sally was probably the strongest-willed, most stubborn, and frugal woman on the planet. Immigrating alone from Sweden to Minneapolis in the late-1920’s and then raising 3 boys through the Great … Read more Grandma Sally’s Soft Gluten Free Ginger Cookies
Bailey’s Fudge
Yup! This is totally happening right now! This year may have been unpredictable, challenging, and downright weird, but Bailey’s released their own chocolate chips! I hear angels singing! My favorite dessert cocktail is the “iron butterfly”, which is vodka, Kalua, and Bailey’s. If I were to choose a favorite milkshake, it would be a “mudslide”, … Read more Bailey’s Fudge

One of the most difficult questions in my life is, “What shall I bring to the potluck supper?” I know that it sounds crazy! Why would someone who loves to cook struggle so intensely with this quandary? I’m guessing that the answer has something to do with a gang of unknown appetites and travel-ability for … Read more Crowd Pleasing Chicken Taco Salad
Carnitas – Mexican Pulled Pork
Food trucks are my newest fascination. How can someone – in very close quarters – make such incredible food? Quickly? While people stand there, waiting in line? Possibly in snow or pouring rain? Or suffocating heat? It is more than I can process…. There is a mexican food truck in our small town that serves … Read more Carnitas – Mexican Pulled Pork
Crockpot Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs
Some times a fave could use an update. Think of how many design changes blue jeans have experienced in the past decades! From bikini-bellbottoms to high-waisted straights, mom jeans to boyfriend jeans, trip-over-your-own-legs-baggies to skin-tight-can’t-breath-jeggings. They are all great, EXCEPT for the ridiculous style in the late 1980’s when we tucked the hem of our … Read more Crockpot Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs
Basil Lemonade
I am not a fan of heat and humidity. In fact, I basically shut down when the dew point tops 60 degrees or the temperature rises above 80. During the “dog days” of summer, it’s all I can do to eat, sleep, and take care of the bare necessities. This is why I don’t live in the tropical South!
