Happy Friday Everyone…or for some of us does it matter what day it is because they are all running together? I will admit that I am pretty good at knowing the days of the week because of my television habits. I’m not sure if that is something to brag about….I know the days of the week….what’s on …

Childhood Woes and Baked Potatoes
All of our parents have stories about their childhood woes. It is the infamous I had to walk 5 miles uphill both way tales that were developed to keep kids from complaining about their lives. I’m so curious how parents are going to handle this conversation with their homebound pandemic kids. It’ll be hard to compete with …
Meet the Alternative to Meat?
Life is funny. The last few weeks have been consumed with food. Whether it was writing about Chicago Northwest Restaurant Week (and eating at a ton of restaurants), writing about food adventures or taking an awesome baking class, all my attention has been on food. With one exception, I haven’t been doing the best job of …
Celery Root Makeover Magic (Potato Celery Root Gratin)
Happy New Year. Last year went too quickly and I was so preoccupied with puppy training. I felt like I was reading more about dogs than I was about food and didn’t feel motivated to cook let alone eat. I won’t go into the nitty gritty details because I feel so happy now with Scout …
Going Over The Potato Edge
When I grocery shop and menu plan each week, I make a conscious effort to think of something “blogworthy” to cook during the week. It can be anything from a new ingredient, a specific vegetable in season or even an old favorite. I visualize what story I want to tell with the recipe or how I …
Reuniting And It Tastes So Good

It isn’t like the first high school reunion where you go mostly to see who got fat and who has the hottest wife/husband. You side eye the gal who was flat chested who now has a huge upper hemisphere and notice the …

Counties all over the state are gathering their best tractors, animals and 4-H projects to showcase everything that living in the heartland encompasses and dreaming of blue ribbons. The hard work of all of these animal owners and their dedication of trying to be the best in …
For the Love of Cucumbers
Do you think about cucumbers? Do you always have one in your fridge? Do you buy one every week? Do you name them? (Wait….we aren’t talking about people who really LOVE cucumbers.) I adore cucumbers especially on hot days. There is something about the crispness and the feel of their crunch that make me feel …
BS Birthday Blog (Brussels Sprouts Birthday)
I had an epiphany last week. I seem to have a lot of them lately. They are true lightbulb moments that I sometimes look up to see if a lightbulb just flashed over my head. I’m wondering if epiphanies come with age or I need maybe I just need to be medicated. (Now I’m thinking of one …
Lent Approved Lentil Soup
Do you observe Lent? I’m not even sure anymore which religions necessarily practice this custom. I have a handful of friends of different denominations who give up “things” for lent. I’ve heard about sacrifice of things like snacks, smoking and even their social media accounts. (The irony is not lost on me that I read …
