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…
Mac ‘n Cheese Dogs
There is this restaurant/bar in downtown Minneapolis called Sneaky Pete’s. I’m not sure why it’s called Sneaky Pete’s. It might have something to do with the fact that it’s next door to a strip club and there is a ‘sneaky’ entrance from Sneaky Pete’s into the strip club. I could probably google the restaurant to…
Rhubarb Muffins
It’s only the third week of May and my rhubarb plant is already a few feet tall (when you count the leaves) and I can pull off thick two foot tall stalks of rhubarb. How is this even possible with the weird, cold spring we’ve had this year? But when the plant is producing that…

These are the cookies that my husband always orders whenever we go to Subway. At least from the time we figured you could get two cookies instead of chips. I can’t say I blame him as there is something about the rich buttery cookie with the white chocolate and the little crunch from the macadamia…
Lemon Pepper Charcoal Rotisserie Chicken
A few years ago, I bought Derek a really cool attachment for his Weber grill – a rotisserie attachment (#EarnsCommission). It turns the Weber into a charcoal rotisserie and makes some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. This attachment has even made it to North Dakota with us a few times. We’ve used it…
Chicken Fried Rice
I’ve been lucky enough to have been exposed to Indonesian cooking by my father-in-law’s wife, Helen. She has taught me how to make dishes like Spicy Beef – that although tastes amazing, I need to drink a swallow of milk between each bit. One of my favorite things I’ve learned to make from Helen though…
Enchiladas Suizas
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Cinco de Mayo celebrates the day Mexico defeated the French at the battle of Puebla. But it quite possible that it’s celebrated more in America than in Mexico. It also happens to be my birthday and since I happen to love Mexican food, I decided to post a Mexican dish today….
