Japanese BBQ Glazed Duck over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
We recently got back from our annual duck hunting trip to North Dakota. It wasn’t exactly our most successful hunting trip up there, we had multiple days of 80 degree beautiful sunny, cloudless, no wind days – which while gorgeous and somewhat unseasonably warm, isn’t exactly great duck hunting weather. We had not one but…
Orange Dreamsicle Cookies
One of my favorite summertime treats are orange dreamsicle popsicles. Creamy vanilla ice-cream with an orange popsicle coating. It is such a classic and yet refreshing snack. But it’s still the middle of winter in Minnesota and ice-cream treats aren’t really at the top of anyone’s treat list. So of course when I saw these…

We’d buy chicken when it was on BOGO sales and freeze individual chicken breasts, which made these also an affordable meal. It’s a…
Sweet Chili Chicken Pizza
Naan bread doubles as a pretty awesome personal sized pizza crust. One of the first pizzas we made on a naan crust was our apple bacon pizza. I can’t even begin to tell you where we got the idea for this sweet chili chicken pizza – the flavors remind me of the flavors that I…
Roasted Veggie Mac ‘n Cheese
How do you get kids to eat their vegetables? If you believe Hidden Valley, you just dip them in ranch. But growing up my mom had an even better solution – smother them in cheese, from a block of processed American cheese. She used to steam broccoli and carrots and then melt a little bit…
