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 Dreamsicles
It’s just starting to warm up in Minnesota. We’re starting to see some grass in our yard among the piles of still melting snow where the wind or the plows pushed it into larger piles. And I’m making popsicles! No, this isn’t just me being a crazy Minnesotan and thinking that 50 degrees feels hot. …

Swedish Kringler
Last year for Christmas, Tory & I both got one of those genetic ancestry tests. Beyond your heritage it also shows health data and even if you may have preferences for certain things. We know that genetics play a role in certain taste aversions, like if cilantro tastes like soap to you. I love the…
Christmas Tortellini Pizza Skewers
Several years ago, I went to my first cooking class through our local Community Ed program at a local high school. It was an appetizer class and when we got there the instructor has a simple appetizer ready and waiting for us. Skewers of, cheese, pepperoni chunks and French bread cubes with some pizza sauce…
