I think this is a pretty twist on the classic, traditional layered lasagna. I love how the roll-ups look like ruffled little swirls when stood on end. You can prepare these with regular or whole wheat lasagna noodles, with or without meat, and with light or regular mozzarella. The possibilities are endless, but you can…
Last week at this time I was making up a big batch of my Mole Chicken Enchiladas and getting the house ready for company. We had my brothers down to dinner and they love love loved these! I must admit that when I make mole I usually take a shortcut by starting with DONA MARIA…
After a day of napping yesterday and a full night’s sleep I’m bursting with energy. I’ve been busy in my kitchen making a big batch of THIS COWBOY CAVIAR to top our grilled chicken & spinach salads for dinner tonight. I added some Cannelini beans, capers and curry this time for something a bit different.…
Happy Friday! I’m running in a hundred different directions this morning. My daughter is coming down to Red Wing to hang out and have tea, I’m making homemade enchiladas for a little dinner gathering tonight, and I still have a few “Cinderella” duties to attend to. Here’s a yummy way to dress up steaks if…
I just returned home from a girlfriend’s lunch and movie date with my friend Nancy. We ate BBQ pulled turkey sandwiches and crudite, sipped tea, nibbled Biscoff cookies and watched THIS MOVIE (very good albeit intense and a bit sad…I loved seeing all of the pretty Hawaii scenes and George Clooney’s performance was stellar.). It…
Finally, the sun is shining! We actually have the screen doors open and we’re letting fresh air flow through the house. (And, miraculously, there aren’t any icicles forming in the bay windows or on the furniture!) I got to see my daughter Andrea today. We sipped Earl Blue tea and talked, had a little lunch.…
This is a recipe adapted from James Beard’s book, Beard on Bread. I love his description… “When well made, this slightly sweet braided loaf looks exactly as if it would win first prize at the fair…. This is a nice bread to give as a holiday present.” ~James Beard 5 to 5 and 1/2 cups…
Happy Friday, Friends! I’ve been having fun in the kitchen today, baking lots of yummy bread, planning cookbook menus, editing magazine articles and photos, and pouring over my vintage cookbooks and magazines for inspiration. I made these yummy pizzas about a week ago, and then again last night. Once you have your dough and pizza…
We just returned home from a wonderful road trip…a short jaunt to Hastings, 40 minutes away from our bluff country, rock bowl that is Red Wing Minnesota. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch at a new restaurant we’ve wanted to try for some time now. Elegant, cozy atmosphere, stellar service and yummy food. We stopped…
We’ve been celebrating chocolate with a Chocolat Garden Party over on my facebook page this week. It was inspired by the garden party scene on Vianne’s patio. Oh my goodness! So many wonderful recipes, so little time. I’m having lots of fun hosting these little parties, networking and getting to know new page owners. We’ve…
