If you're looking for comfort food, this Big Mac Hot Dish is just the thing on a cold winter day. Seriously, it's really tasty and super easy to make. I grew up on Tang and Pop Tarts, going to McDonald's was a rare thing in my family and quite a treat when it did happen. The only reason to go to McDonald's back then was
There's a mouse in my car!!! WTF!?!?!? I haven't actually seen the mouse, but I can hear it and it's terrifying. A few months ago I was driving my daughter to school because the bus never came. As we were getting on the practice freeway (35E for those of you who aren't from the Twin Cities, but for those of you coming here for the
I can't believe I made this - pizza and wine! And by 'made this', I mean I made everything in this image by myself and from scratch. I made the wine and I made the pizza. I made the dough - I let it rise, punched it down and shaped it into pizza crust. I made the sauce, from tomatoes I canned last summer and
Skol! That was a helluva game last night. It looked like a typical Minnesota Vikings end of season. They held a 17 point lead agains the Saints for most of the game and then they didn't.

*Update - Since no one even guessed, and there is no way anyone could have guessed the outcome of the Saints vs Vikings game, we're gonna do it again.... Just for shits and giggles I'm doing a Vikings Playoff Giveaway. If you can predict, guess or speculate the score of next Sunday's game against the Eagles, you will win some cool Vikings memorabilia. I'm not

This past week Mary Tyler Moore passed away. The first thing that popped into my head, upon learning of her passing, was "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants". That was the phrase from the eulogy of Chuckles the Clown that got Mary giggling during his funeral. If you've never seen it, you can see the scene here, it's hilarious even
This recipe, Tater Tot Hot Dish with Mushroom Risotto, is a variation of the Authentic Minnesota Tater Tot Hot Dish. Like all great flukes it happened because I didn't read the recipe carefully and ended up with way too much liquid so I had to find a way to make it less soggy. I had a bag of Alessi Risotto with Mushrooms so I quickly
Now more than ever it's important to learn how to drive in snow. This past weekend a good chunk of the nation received several inches, if not feet, of snow. In fact, 49 of 5o states have been affected by this massive storm. Not every state is covered in snow, but there are many places that don't normally see snow who are now forced to navigate
