Sunday nights almost always mean two things to my family: 1) Dairy Queen Blizzards for the boys. Oreo for Joe and peanut butter cups for Teacher Man. Always. Sometimes a Blizzard for me, too, but sometimes not – depends totally on what I feel like. And if I do have a Blizzard, I am the […] Read more…
High Five for Friday … Garden Variety.
It’s Friday and I’m feeling particularly energetic today because I took the day off. I clearly needed to mentally check out from work for a few hours – a “little” something called avian flu remains on everyone’s mind here in Minnesota so I think it’s fair to say our work days have been intense. (Not complaining, […] Read more…
Turkey Tuesday – Turkey A La King
I’m so old school when it comes to recipes. And comfort food. In May. Which is why I bring you Turkey A La King, one of my old school faves! I know this may seem like an odd recipe to post in May. It’s spring, after all, and this is more of a hearty fall/winter […] Read more…
Mom’s Best Blueberry Coffee Cake

Given this week’s recipe – Cheddar Potato Chowder with Turkey Bacon – let’s talk about turkey bacon, shall we? I’ve found that folks, generally, land in one of three camps when it comes to turkey bacon: 1) The “Love-Turkey-Bacon Camp” because it’s a healthy switch; this group rarely, if ever, buys pork bacon anymore. 2) The […] Read more…
Sunday Somethings.
I am ridiculously tired tonight. As in – zero energy. None at all. And yet, I don’t want to go to sleep. Instead, I am eating peanut butter pie frozen custard with chocolate sauce and writing blog posts. This is, of course, what makes Sunday nights and the inevitable creep of Monday’s to do list […] Read more…
Turkey Tuesday: Slow Cooker Buffalo Turkey Meatballs
I’m headed to Atlanta today for a quick business trip – as in I’ll be back home tomorrow night. (Yep, that quick.) I’ll be meeting with others in the turkey industry to continue plans on some exciting new ways to promote the consumption of more turkey all year long. But first … Slow Cooker Buffalo […] Read more…
