It's hockey tournament time in Minnesota and that means - usually - a huge snow storm. Let's hope that doesn't happen, especially after the frigid cold of February. I'm doing my best to support local restaurants who have been impacted by the draconian covid restrictions. If you're looking for a great burger and want to support local, then head up Highway 61 to The Burger

Store bought until I forgot to order one and was forced to make my own - or go without. Oh the horror!! We simply could not have Christmas morning without a julekake, so after consulting with older relatives in
We're currently experiencing some warmer than usual temps in Minnesota., but last week when I made this we had a hard frost. There's nothing like a delicious chicken pot pie on a cold evening. If you're looking for comfort foods to feed the family this chicken pot pie is sure to please and you'll still have plenty of leftovers. I could have made three pies

If you came of age in the 70s or even 80s - March is all about Shamrock Shakes from McDonald's. Like Girl Scout Cookies, and the McRib, it isn't around for very long so if you don't make a special trip, you're not going to get one. I can't remember the last time I had one.
