I’m sitting here eating a big bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. Which makes me think about dairy farmers. Which leads me to thoughts of the completely amazing malts (hot fudge, please!) at the Minnesota State Fair. Which brings me to this blog post. You know, about farmers and the State Fair.

As I write this, the outdoor thermometer reads 63 degrees and it’s gray and kind of rainy. Perfect, I suppose, for Turkey Meatloaf Muffins. However, flashback three days and I was in Hawaii, gazing in awe for the thousandth time at Ka’anapali Beach, feeling the 85 degree sunshine on my face, snorkeling with Nemo fish […] Read more…

It’s been far too long since I’ve posted a turkey recipe on the blog but I am happy to report that’s changing today with these Jalapeno Turkey Meatballs. My oven was fixed last Friday (broken glass on the inside of the door – weird) and after we came home from the lake, I knew I […] Read more…
I arrived home today from the lake, completely relaxed and stress-free from my mini-vacation (click here for my post yesterday on this) – and consequently I am not at all ready to get back to the office tomorrow. It’s probably an understatement to say that I’m ready for a real vacation – a total get-away that […] Read more…
