    Turkey Tuesday: Instant Pot Cheesy Turkey Penne Pasta

    December 18, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This recipe is a turkey riff on an Instant Pot recipe I saw recently titled “Crack Chicken Pasta.” And with turkey, plenty of cheese (including cream cheese), and bacon … well, it’s easy to see how this dish could become addicting.  This is also a great option for your busy…

    Dribs and Drabs

    December 17, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Monday and I have exactly five days of work before my holiday break commences. Too bad my mind is still on the weekend and all the fun that was had.  Why can’t I just say home today, eat lefse, and watch Christmas movies? First up in the “Dribs and…

    Gingersnap Chocolate Chip Cookies

    December 16, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Apparently there has been a huge run on molasses (hello, holiday bakers!) in my town because up until today, all three grocery stores have been out of molasses for nearly the entire month of December. Finally Target restocked (insert praise hands!) and I could make my mom’s recipe for Gingersnap…

    Philly Cheesesteak Turkey Meatballs

    December 10, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m always game to try a new meatball recipe. I can’t help it – I just love meatballs. (Plus a Philly Cheesesteak Meatball version? I’m in!) I’ll go to an Italian restaurant and order spaghetti and – wait for it – meatballs. Teacher Man just shakes his head and looks…

    Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze

    December 3, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’ve been following North Wild Kitchen’s blog and Facebook page for a short time and I’m enamored with her life in Norway, her gorgeous photos, and all those recipes! That’s why I adapted one of her recipes and made Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze. Bakers are whipping up…

    Welcome, December

    December 2, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Welcome to December, friends! I officially ushered in the month by getting a little holiday shopping done, baking up some cranberry cinnamon sweet buns (recipe coming soon!), and watching my fair share of Hallmark Christmas movies.  Buffalo has a pretty awesome little kitchen shop in town – The Abundant Kitchen.…

    Thanksgiving Weekend Recap

    November 25, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Another turkey week has come and gone, and The Thanksgiving Feast is no longer. But oh boy, was it good!  My mom does a very classic Thanksgiving meal – roast turkey (no brining, no spatchcocking, no roulade, no complications – just perfectly roasted turkey), my Grandma’s amazing stuffing recipe, mashed…

    Turkey Week is Here!!

    November 18, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Week is here, my friends … let the preparations commence and the feasting begin!  My parents are hosting Thanksgiving, as usual, this year so I really don’t have much to get ready for. I’m in charge of the pumpkin pie so I will get at that Wednesday evening after…
