I’d like to share a few observations from the course of the past few days or so. These will be random observations, so if you were hoping to read a well-constructed blog post tonight, you’re a bit out of luck. My brain is just not working that way right now. 😉 We found out today that this […] Read more…
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.

I’m not in a writing mood tonight. I don’t know why. I mean, it is a little – okay, a lot – Â weird for me to say that. But rather than fight it and write something dorky or stupid, I’m just going to share a few of my favorite photos from the weekend with just […] 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…
