During a recent visit to the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market I picked up some heirloom orange zucchini. It was our first visit but I will tell you it definitely won’t be our last! I loved the place but left a bit sad since it’s so far away and we don’t have anything comparable near us. But we

Pork and Ginger Potstickers with Honey Soy Dipping Sauce
I adore pork ginger potstickers and have to order them whenever I see them on a menu. So when I was creating my Top 100, I knew they had to be on the list since they are one of my favorite appetizers and I had never made them before. I browsed around the internet for the perfect recipe
Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork Loin
Now that summer activities have started up, life is getting busy busy busy! On Wednesday’s Joel has softball at 6:30 but has to leave the house by 5:50 and usually doesn’t get home from work until 5:30. That leaves very little time to get dinner on the table, especially with a busy toddler that wants
Baked Italian Sausage with Potatoes and Garlic
This is a ridiculously easy recipe that yields amazingly delicious results. Chop, mix, dump and occasionally stir. Could it get any better? I love pretty much anything that is roasted to the point of caramelization so this one dish meal was totally up my alley. The sausage, potatoes and garlic turn into brown, crispy delicious-ness
Chorizo Nachos
Simple Chorizo Nachos are just what your weekend needs. Spiced pinto beans, flavorful chorizo, melted cheese and spicy jalapenos all atop crispy tortilla chips. When I was a kid Friday’s were Nacho Night. I used to complain (shocking, right?) but now that I’ve grown up I get a little nostalgic thinking about those times I
Halloweenies {Crescent Mummy Dogs}
I love a themed meal (and sometimes go a tad overboard) and Halloween provides so many fun, creative ideas! So this month I will be bringing you main dishes, desserts, snacks and even a fun beverage for all your Halloween party needs! And first up is a family favorite, Halloweenies! Clever, I know. I made these for
Smoked Ribs and BBQ Rub
Labor Day weekend was super busy for us. Joel’s parents, sister and her kids all came to visit and we had a blast hanging out together! We went to the lake on Saturday, rented a pontoon boat and spent the afternoon cruising the lake. Unfortunately, the high was only about 65 degrees and it was
Honey Mustard Pork Burgers
A few months back I was flipping through a cookbook I’ve had for awhile and came across this recipe. Joel and I are huge fans of honey mustard and burgers so I don’t know how this recipe didn’t jump out at me before. Needless to say, these burgers have become a fast favorite in our house
Mini Corn Dogs
These nuggets of fried goodness are a total guilty pleasure. Fried foods don’t grace our table regularly and this is the first time I have ever made homemade corn dogs. But it won’t be the last. I won’t be making these as often as my stomach would like but they will be on our dinner menu occasionally. These were
