I’m not super big into end-of-year recaps, which I may have mentioned before. I find them to be a bit tedious – especially when all I want to do is think ahead to the next year. What’s done is done, right? But … it is fun to look back at my most popular blog posts […] Read more…
Grandma’s Christmas Kringla Recipe
Oh my word. Christmas is all officially over and how did that happen, anyway? One of my traditions is always to make Grandma’s Christmas Kringla recipe, so I’m happy to say I did make that happen. Thank my lucky stars I took the entire week off because otherwise I’d be sulking in a funk at the office, […] Read more…
Turkey Tuesday: Instant Pot Cheesy Turkey Penne Pasta
This recipe is a turkey riff on an Instant Pot recipe I saw recently titled “Crack Chicken Pasta.” And with turkey, plenty of cheese (including cream cheese), and bacon … well, it’s easy to see how this dish could become addicting. This is also a great option for your busy weeknights … a one-pot wonder […] Read more…
Dribs and Drabs

Finally Target restocked (insert praise hands!) and I could make my mom’s recipe for Gingersnap Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don’t […] Read more…
Philly Cheesesteak Turkey Meatballs
I’m always game to try a new meatball recipe. I can’t help it – I just love meatballs. (Plus a Philly Cheesesteak Meatball version? I’m in!) I’ll go to an Italian restaurant and order spaghetti and – wait for it – meatballs. Teacher Man just shakes his head and looks at me funny. He thinks […] Read more…
Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze
I’ve been following North Wild Kitchen’s blog and Facebook page for a short time and I’m enamored with her life in Norway, her gorgeous photos, and all those recipes! That’s why I adapted one of her recipes and made Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze. Bakers are whipping up all the Christmas cookies this […] Read more…
Welcome, December
Welcome to December, friends! I officially ushered in the month by getting a little holiday shopping done, baking up some cranberry cinnamon sweet buns (recipe coming soon!), and watching my fair share of Hallmark Christmas movies. Buffalo has a pretty awesome little kitchen shop in town – The Abundant Kitchen. They carry a really nice […] Read more…
