    Weekend Snaps | Memorial Day Weekend

    May 29, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Please tell me I’m not the only one who loves eating dry cereal as a snack before bedtime.  Because I’m doing that right now. There’s just something about a small bowl of Cascadian Farms granola and a small glass of cranberry juice at night. I have no idea why I…

    May is Busy, You Guys!

    May 20, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    April 15, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Well, friends … much of Minnesota got hit pretty hard by a blizzard and major winter storm this weekend. Yep, in mid-April. We had a least a foot of snow at my house as of this morning — and it continued to snow all day long. Seriously … All. Day.…

    Turkey Tuesday: Parmesan Turkey Roll-Ups

    April 10, 2018 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I am so in a funk with this weather here in Minnesota. Cold. Gray. Dreary. Snow. Repeat.  The only redeeming quality (if there is such a thing) about April weather like this is that it makes me want to stay inside and cook.  My friend, Teresa, turned me on to…
