Current temperature in Minnesota as I write this: 41 degrees. And raining. While the moisture is welcome for farmers (and gardeners), I am not a big fan of these March-like temperatures. (Oddly, I think March was warmer than April. Go figure.) And it’s been like this all week. But hope springs eternal, always, and it […] Read more…
Turkey Tuesday | Turkeycakes with Dijon Cream Sauce
Where do I even start with this one? Unexpected. Inspiring. Innovative. This recipe is all these things – and turkey needs to be this way, believe me. Yes, turkey is Thanksgiving. And yes, turkey makes the best deli sandwiches. But turkey can be – and is – so much more, as hopefully you’ve seen in […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps | Earl the Pug
T minus 25 minutes until The Good Wife, which means I’m short on time and, to be honest, completely lacking in exciting topics to write about at this particular moment. So instead, I bring you … Earl the Pug photos! Did you know … Earl is named after Teacher Man’s football hero, Earl Campbell – “The Tyler […] Read more…
Purple Reign

Weekend Snaps | Rustic Garden
It’s late Sunday afternoon as I write this latest post. Teacher Man is napping, Joe is video gaming (Terraria, I believe), and Earl the Pug is trying to find a comfortable spot on the floor by my feet so that he catches some of the warm breeze coming through the window. As I mentioned late […] Read more…
High Five For Friday | Getting Springy!
You guys. I’m having one of those evenings where I am quite literally exhausted. I feel like I can’t expend any more energy than I already have today. I got my kiddo to school, I worked, I put supper on the table, I’m done. (Okay, I ordered pizza and opened a bottle of wine, but still.) […] Read more…
Turkey Tuesday: Cheesy Turkey Pull-Apart Sliders
The clock is ticking, but technically it’s still Tuesday in these parts so I’m safe in posting a new turkey recipe. Yes! I hate missing a week – I know you all are depending on me to share a new turkey recipe every week. 😉 After a day of meetings, lunch out, and getting some […] Read more…
