    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.…

    Let’s Talk about Food Recalls

    November 16, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    You may have heard today that Jennie-O Turkey Store is recalling about 91,000 pounds of ground turkey because of an issue with Salmonella.  I’ve seen varied consumer responses to this recall – from panic-mode to completely silly to common sense. (I track social media stories and comments for my job…

    Apple Fritter Bread with Maple Glaze

    November 4, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Good morning, friends! I’ve just finished my coffee and this amazing Apple Fritter Bread, which was a perfect start to this rather cold, dreary day in Minnesota.  It’s been a lovely weekend overall, I’d say. Yesterday I had the house almost to myself. Teacher Man was deer hunting (no luck,…

    Turkey Tuesday: Cajun Turkey Burgers with Mango Slaw

    October 23, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    These turkey burgers, you guys! I was playing around with a jerk turkey burger recipe from The Food Network and came up with this version which is AH-MAZING! Teacher Man raved. Even Joe liked them.  Here’s the thing – ground turkey is like a blank slate. Go ahead and add…
