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. Long. School is two hours […] Read more…
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 a recipe for Parmesan Chicken […] Read more…
Well, the weekend is winding down with snow. Again. I’m pretty sure spring has decided not to show up at all this year.

We now have a new favorite pasta dish in our house – made with a turkey twist, of course – rigatoni with turkey sausage & fennel.

My parents, sister, and niece came to the concert and we had the most fun time enjoying […] Read more…
First things first: I’ve spent approximately 3.75 hours over the past 2 nights working on an email issue at home that wasn’t Spectrum’s fault or Microsoft’s fault or Apple’s fault. Tonight, I tried deleting and adding back in our email account to Apple Mail ONE MORE TIME and suddenly, it works. I don’t get it. […] Read more…
I’m tired. It’s 8:35 p.m. and it feels like at least 11 p.m. I think it’s because this week has been killer at work. This is not a complaint – it’s just fact. Our biggest week of the year – the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention – starts next Monday and everyone in my office has […] Read more…
