Happy Birthday Uncle Jake! No, I’m not posting a cookie this year for your birthday, even though you haven’t ever turned down any cookie I’ve brought up to the farm. It’s coming up on early goose season and it’s still hot out which got me thinking to the salads I’ve made on those hot August/September…
Grilled Potato Wedges
When I can, I like to make entire meals on the grill. It usually results in less clean up of pots and pans and then I’m also not running back and forth to tend both the grill and the stove. So what happens when you want some type of fry to go along with a…
S’more Ice Cream Sandwiches
It’s time for the grand finale in this series – the S’more Ice Cream Sandwich. This cool take on the iconic summer treat is the brainchild of my husband who absolutely loves s’more flavored desserts. When Tory gave me this ice-cream book Hello, My Name is Ice-Cream (#EarnsCommission) for my birthday, he immediately decided I…
Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream
The best part of having a campfire is roasting marshmallows. And this toasted marshmallow ice cream has that burnt sugar taste you get from roasting marshmallows on the campfire mixed right into the ice cream along with more marshmallows mixed in. This ice cream is awesome on its own but to take it to the…
Graham Cracker Cookies
I have a very special 3 part summer treat for you. You see, I took the classic summer dessert – the s’more and turned it into an ice-cream sandwich. Along the way, I created Graham Cracker Cookies and Toasted Marshmallow Ice-Cream recipes that are both winners in their own right. I’m going to post all…
10,000 Lakes Bacon Cheese Burger
We were craving a good burger the other day and decided to channel one of Derek’s favorite burgers at The Ely Steakhouse, the Buckie Burger. They make some of the best burgers you’ll ever have – if you’re ever in town stop in and try one. But we live 4 hours away so we were…
10,000 Lakes Burger Sauce
You know, often when you see a burger on a restaurant menu and it says there is a ‘secret sauce’, well it seems like more often than not this is a thousand island dressing or some version thereof. So when we decided we wanted to make a really good burger – we had to make…
Blueberry Limeade Popsicles
I promised you a cool treat to make from the leftovers of my blueberry limeade recipe yesterday. And when I said cool, I mean cold, because we are going to be making Blueberry Limeade Popsicles! I’m still hooked on this popsicle mold (#EarnsCommission) that Tory gave me for my birthday. And why not? Popsicles are…
Blueberry Limeade
So this is my second blueberry recipe in a row. AND tomorrow I’m going to show you a cool treat with the leftovers from this recipe. Why all the blueberry recipes? Well this coming weekend is the annual Blueberry Arts Festival in my hometown of Ely, MN. This always signals that the wild blueberries should…
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes with Almond Butter Syrup
I love breakfast. Unfortunately, I just don’t make it very often. Yes, I eat breakfast every day but most days that consists of a bowl of oatmeal at my desk. Occasionally, I indulge with a scone (usually raspberry lemon) or bacon, egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich at Allie’s – usually on days when it’s…
