Sweet & Tangy Broccoli Salad (Paleo, AIP-friendly)
Tonight is National Night Out and given that Minneapolis often ranks number one in participation, you may very well be attending a neighborhood block party this evening. If so, I have just the salad for you, a real crowd pleaser that comes together quickly and stays crunchy and appealing on a buffet. You might recognize…
An Early Summer Night’s Dream
Here’s the perfect way to kick off summer: Get yourself invited to Debbie & Stu the Wine Genius Williams’ home for dinner. There is no lovelier place to be on a first-summer’s-blush evening, on the patio in their lush back yard, chatting with them as well as Sue & Louis Ainsworth, sipping incredible wine, eating…
Cassoulet, Parts III & IV
The big day finally arrived! We actually got to eat the damn cassoulet, a dish I’ve become very familiar with over the last several days that it’s taken me to prepare it. Let me say right off the bat – it was well worth the effort. And for more reasons than the obvious deliciousness –…
Cassoulet, Parts I & II
So, tomorrow night we’re hosting Debbie & Stu the Wine Genius Williams and Ana Scofield & Rudy Maxa for dinner. Remember our recent dinner at Heartland, where I mentioned I’d like to tackle cassoulet? Well, I put the plans into motion that night for tomorrow night’s feast, and started getting down to business yesterday. Cassoulet…
So Many Chateaux, So Little Time

Let me clarify – I’m not a member of the Commanderie de Bordeaux (sacre bleu). But my friends Debbie & Stu the Wine…
Madeira
Yesterday I caught an early version of Eric Asimov’s The Pour column on the New York Times Dining & Wine page. The headline – A New Course for Dessert Wine – jumped right out at me. I prefer dessert-style wines paired with savory foods (foie gras, blue cheese), so I clicked through and was delighted…
So Long Montana, Hello Puppy Louis
Good-bye summer! It was a chilly 45 degrees at 3 o’clock this morning, autumn is definitely in the air. If you’re wondering why I know the temp at 3 a.m., it’s not because I was out partying. It’s because we got…a new puppy! Puppy Louis, a mini goldendoodle (will be 45 lbs. full grown), and…
Bison, 101 Simple Salads
I lucked into a delicious dinner at Debbie & Stu the Wine Genius’ on Sunday night. After a dry, dusty afternoon spent watching Little League baseball, it was oh-so-nice to sit in their lovely, shady backyard and sip a cool glass of white wine, ahhh. Bill & Karla Forsythe were there as well, with their…
La Belle Vie
Date Night, Bar La Belle Vie, all good. We skipped wine and sipped truly yummy summer cocktails – tasties such as Old Cubans (Mount Gay Rum, Fresh Mint, Bitters, Fresh Lime and Cava) and Prince Alberts (Earl Grey Infused Bombay Sapphire Gin, Fresh Lemon Sweet & Sour And Soda). We sat down at the bar…
