After reading Andrew Zimmern’s blog yesterday, I immediately called the much-awaited Porter & Frye to see if John and I could score a table for Date Night. We love the stylings of Chef Steven Brown (Levain, RockStar) and were psyched to sample his new wares. And The Hotel Ivy (the restaurant is a part of…

Brrrgrrr, rarrr! I made hamburgers last night and oh my, I haven’t had one in so long, it tasted incredible. I didn’t actually grill ’em, but still, the homemade version is just “summer” to me, it was really fun. I did a quick saute of mushrooms and spinach to have alongside – or on top!…

Wow this weekend flew by, here it is Sunday already. What happened? John was away skiing with the boys and I was going to enjoy a nice, quiet, productive weekend… Which I did, sort of, but then as usual I accidentally kinda filled the time too and before I knew it, the only quiet night…

Beauty is in the contrast, as we all well know. But sometimes, we need a little reminder, especially at this rather dullest time of year. Sensory under-load is the name of the game in February-March in Minnesota. How to add a little zip? Beef up the contrast, baby! Steal some time to work out hard,…

Oooh, we’re heading into March, which marks the beginning of the holiday season. Huh? Well, spring and Christmas- Hanukkah require pretty much the same amount of planning ’round these parts, what with Cooper, Mom, Sasha, John, Tom, Marge, Mary, Stacey, and Nathan all celebrating birthdays within mere weeks of each other. Throw in a few…

Even though in this photo it appears that I just happened to whip up a little roasted chicken over risotto for lunch (ha), it’s in fact (tasty!) leftovers from last night’s… …lovely Date Night meal at Cave Vin. No frites this time (no!), instead I had a delicious salad, lightly dressed greens (I very much…

Snowman! (He’s been named “Louis” by the kids, in honor of our dear Siggy Roo, whose middle name was Louis, sniff. We sure do miss him, although it was nice to not worry about rolling up dog doo in our snowballs…) Prrrrfect sticky-snow day for a snowman, thank you sun! And a vegetarian snowdude to…

Fresh air! Fresh vegetables! Fresh fruit! No combo makes me feel better, and I scored plenty of all three today, so I pronounce it a good day indeed: Lovely walk. Tasty pan of chicken hash (diced chicken, tomatoes, potatoes, green pepper, onion, and mushrooms) alongside an over-easy egg. And the most delicious Texas red grapefruit,…

Friday night, the deepfreeze has abated, I had polenta for dinner, and life is goooood. Although, I hardly needed dinner, given I was full all day from our raclette dinner at the Shubert’s last night. Oh, John and I went wild, broiling cheese over ham and potatoes, eating the melty goodness alongside sauteed veggies, coarse…

An even better treat than going to a restaurant for dinner is heading to someone’s home for dinner. Granted, I’m shockingly blessed with friends and family who are not just good cooks, but great cooks. (Thank you, Food Gods!) Seriously – some of the best tastes I’ve ever savored have been courtesy of none other…
