Food For Creating Hygge
By on February 25, 2015 with
Even with the promise of Spring down the road a bit, Winter is still just not giving up. Many of us, especially those of us in the north are thinking about warm- weathered spring breaks. But, in-between hopes of spring and vacations, we still have to... survive. In Minnesota, there are many days where the light is bright but the sky is opaque. Just now, out my window such an atmosphere is flittering snow that is dancing through the air and landing on frozen ground. This is a day to keep Hygge in mind. Hygge (prounounced … [Read more...]
Spanish Soda Splash Recipe

All summer we've enjoyed a sparkling drink that is refreshing, light and lemony. We enjoyed it first at a quaint Spanish restaurant in Brooklyn. Our New York friends re-created it and now we're sharing it with you to enjoy ~ before the summer's over! Quick summer tablescape tip ~ Lemons piled in an ironstone terrain scent a room with fresh goodness. This Spanish soda, Kas is REALLY the best to use, but it is hard to find.

Homemade Lattice Pie Crust
By on May 6, 2013 with
I shared tips for making homemade pie crust the other day and wanted to show you how to make a lattice top for homemade fruit pies. It's not hard and even more fun to do with one of your kids. My daughter, Teapot helped me out. Using the pie crust recipe HERE, divide recipe in half, rolling half out for the bottom of the pie and the other half to create the lattice topping. Roll the dough out into a round on a well floured surface. Cut dough into 1 inch strips. Starting with the center strip (use the longer … [Read more...]

Every Christmas morning, before the kids are allowed to come out of their rooms, my husband and I heat up our Breville Espresso maker. (We kinda have a thing for the Breville...so much so we've been known to take it across the country.) He will make a double shot of espresso for himself and an Americano for me. Meanwhile, I pull the cinnamon rolls that have been proofing overnight, out of the fridge and put them on top of the stove to come to room temperature. This is one of our favorite Christmas morning rituals. We have a … [Read more...]

PARENT ‘HOOD LINK UP: Healthy Snacks For Kids
By on October 1, 2012 with
Often I get asked the question, "How do you get your kids to eat so well?" It could be that they've been raised with good food and a variety of foods since they were young. They were exposed early on to different flavors. At the age of two it was pretty normal for our kids to be eating avocados and hummus. They would quickly move onto finger foods such as baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and red peppers. I found that if it was colorful and small and came with a dip of some sort, it would get eaten! Little ramekins … [Read more...]
