Old Fashioned Apple Crisp

I love this time of year!! The days are getting shorter, the nights are cooler and apples are in season!! Sure, pumpkin spice season is happening simultaneously, but why not enjoy both? No need to choose Team Apple or Team Pumpkin Spice - enjoy both while they are so briefly in season. Old Fashioned apple crisp is one of my favorite desserts because it is

Pickle Pasta Salad

I stumbled into this perfectly pickled pasta salad quite by accident. I was Googling for pasta salads and saw a recipe for dill pickle salad. It sounded interesting so I clicked on the link to Delish and found the recipe was behind a paywall. I could see part of the recipe, but not all of it. I saw that it called for eggs, pickles, green

Banana Blueberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Summer is here and we have a bounty of fruits and berries just ready for the table. While the summer has already been too hot in Minnesota, we had a bit of a chill down this past week and it was the perfect time to bake some cake using some beautiful blueberries that I picked up at Lunds & Byerlys recently.

Julekake

Julekake is a traditional Norwegian Christmas cake. We've had one on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember, usually store bought and always delicious. Store bought until I forgot to order one and was forced to make my own - or go without. Oh the horror!!

The Best EVER Carrot Cake

I love carrot cake, and so does everyone in my family. In the past I have made carrot cakes from the box because it seems so much easier, but one of the kids has a nut allergy so anything that has been produced on equipment that processes tree nuts is out - that includes many cake mixes. The ones that are nut free use something
