Screw-the-Snow Fish Tacos
The weather, I promised myself I would not talk about the weather. But forget it man, this is Minnesota, and we talk about the weather. So here it is: It rained ice last night, as John and I were on our way from not one but two fabulous dinners. I first dug into champagne, pommes…
Minnesota Food Bloggers Unite Part II: Corner Table Restaurant
These Minnesota Food Bloggers events must end! They’re just so damn fun that the next day is a bit of a let-down. Who’s making me dinner? Pouring me glasses of prosecco? Making me laugh maniacally? Chatting endlessly about food, cooking, ingredients, restaurants, events, new projects, and when we should next have dinner? Spoiled food blogger…
Cheese Souffle (Gluten-Free)

I’ve been slightly obsessed with food blogger/writer/photographer Kate Sommers adventures in raising chickens in the city of Minneapolis. After a couple of false starts – two hens turned out to be roosters! – she’s now got three hens noisily cranking out pretty, pretty brown, pink, and blue eggs. Probably because I haven’t been very secret…
Vegetable Soup with Wild Rice, Ham & Cream

When it snows, I make soup. And complain. And take ridiculously long baths. And pretend like I’m still on vacation. John and I were in Costa Rica last week and it was…heavenly. Too heavenly. I have been in a massive funk ever since we returned. The lovely view out of our home bedroom window that…

Use to fry eggs, top soup or pasta. #jmu612 That’s it! What I couldn’t say in a Tweet is that anchovy…
Corner Table Restaurant: Kitchen Table Birthday Celebration
Even though my (and Fresh Tart’s!) birthday was last week, the celebrating goes on. And on. Thursday night John & I enjoyed an epic meal, at the kitchen table at Corner Table Restaurant, with Ana Scofield & Rudy Maxa and Debbie & Stu The Wine Genius Williams. When you reserve the kitchen table, you actually…
The Prep Ends, Eating Begins!

To me, it’s not Christmas without my mom’s fabulous 1970s appetizer platter. I use it all the time, this time for fondue vegetables. The smooth, tangy cheese… …and rich beef tenderloin fondue were both amazing. Fried beef. Yes. But I think my very favorite were the crispy cauliflower fritters – ridiculously good. I used two…
Almond Flour (Gluten-Free) Pancakes and a Giveaway

This is a recipe from the excellent blog Elana’s Pantry. Since giving up gluten, I’ve been mining her extensive recipe database, feeling inspired and thrilled. Elana is an expert at baking with almond flour, a delicious and nutritious substitute for wheat flour (unlike other gluten-free flour concoctions, which are fine once in awhile, but are…
Hint-of-Sweet Pumpkin Custard
As I’ve mentioned, I’m trying to eat as little sugar as possible. So far, so good, although I absolutely love pumpkin pie and didn’t want to miss out this holiday season. Since pumpkin itself is quite nutritious, I decided to experiment with a classic, cream-based pumpkin filling (the best kind, in my opinion) and see…
