Holiday Special
Sausage Egg Bake with Bacon-Hashbrown Crust
Sometimes it feels like egg bakes conjure up images of elegant bridal showers and dainty women’s teas. Think of flowers, lace, beautifully wrapped gifts, damask tablecloths, and egg bake. This one, however, is the exact opposite of delicate. It is for carnivores who love brunch, and are not afraid to eat it! Tossing hash browns … Read more Sausage Egg Bake with Bacon-Hashbrown Crust
Maple & Bourbon Glazed Ham
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in his journals: “It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” Friendship is one of those most-precious gifts that should never be neglected.

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.

Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce (Kötbullar med Gräddsås)
As I was digging through the cupboard last week, I stumbled across my grandmother’s recipe box. There are memories attached to many of those recipes!

She landed in Minneapolis in … Read more Swedish Meatballs with Cream Sauce (Kötbullar med Gräddsås)
Gluten Free Coffee Cake
Saturday. Sleeping late. Brunch. Family. Relaxing. Traditions. I’m all over that! At the end of a crazy, stressful week, there just isn’t anything better than a calm morning with delicious treats.
Mjuk Pepparkaka Swedish Gingerbread Gluten Free
Gingerbread is one of those smells that melts my heart. It brings up images of Laura Ingalls, Norman Rockwell, and Hallmark movies. All fall and winter my simmer pot is filled with cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. It fragrances the air without chemicals (read the label of your air freshener!) and adds humidity to combat dryness … Read more Mjuk Pepparkaka Swedish Gingerbread Gluten Free
