Not too sweet...a little chewy...and buttery! Adapted from a family cookbook.
Fresh Strawberry Pie
Light and luscious. A perfect spring or summer dessert with (or without) a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

Such a light but hearty salad with the crunch of celery and carrot, peppery radicchio, a burst of flavor from corn and garbanzo beans and all bound together with a nice variety of greens. The homemade Honey Balsamic Dressing is the icing on the
Poppy Seed Dressing
A delicious homemade salad dressing that is light and fresh and a much requested recipe.
Guinness and Green Onion Biscuits
Beer bread with a twist is one way to describe these tasty biscuits. So easy and fast...that's my kind of recipe.
No Salt Seasoning Mix
I'm not kidding...this is GOOD! Mix 2 tablespoons with a cup of flour to dredge your chicken (or whatever) and you will not miss the salt. I promise!
Easy Breakfast Sausage Patties
So much tastier than sausage patties from the supermarket! No preservatives. Easy and delicious.
Cherry Almond Butter Cookies
Buttery cookies that can be either drop cookies if you're in a time crunch or roll them out and cut them with a cookie cutter (use a heart shaped cookie cutter for Valentine's Day).

The bread recipes in Zoe Frances's Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day are so easy and so delicious you'll make them over and over. Try this recipe and then go out and buy that book! You won't be sorry, I promise.
Milanese Pot Roast
A pot roast recipe that I will make again and again. The white wine and veggie blend is a perfect flavor booster. A crock pot recipe that you can make in as little as four hours or set the slow cooker on low...8 hours later you've got a delicious meal for friends and family.
Almond Triangles
This was a prize winning cookie recipe in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. A delectable cookie that makes a fabulous gift.
Grandma K's Homemade Salami
Once you make this, you'll never want to buy salami commercially! An old, old recipe from my late Mother-in-law. I've been asked for this recipe time and time, again.

This is so good that it's what people ask me to bring to parties. Seriously! Simple to make. It's light and crisp and not at all sticky or gooey. A bonus...It just happens to be gluten free.

Buttery cookies that melt in your mouth. Easy and delicious. From an old family recipe.

Healthy and delicious. Can be individually wrapped and frozen for a quick on-the-road breakfast.

Summer Sangria
A refreshing "grown-up" beverage to enjoy over the 4th of July weekend. Or any summery occasion.
This is especially nice because it calls for Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Adding chopped green apples and topping with chopped cashews makes it extra good.
This version is like quiche lorraine wrapped in a flaky pastry. Just wonderful and they can be made ahead and frozen!
Minnesota Apple Pie
Made with fresh apples from Minnesota...Harrelsons or Honey Crisp...this recipe can't be beat. Of course, you could use another apple variety. If you're not from Minnesota, that is!
Minnesota Rhubarb Pie
My favorite recipe for Rhubarb Pie, ever!

An Oldie-But-Goodie recipe that makes enough for 20 batches of oven fried chicken.
It's a keeper!
Hot Brandied Cocoa
Nothing better on a cold winter's night than a cup of this hot cocoa.
Delicious with or without the brandy!
Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp
A really nice way to combine two flavorful fruits...raspberries and rhubarb. It's sweet yet tangy and deliciously juicy and especially delicious topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
Pepper Steak
This yummy recipe lends itself to a myriad of adjustments. Peppers (green, red, and/or yellow), tomatoes, bean sprouts and an Asian sauce are the givens.
