My family took a trip to Duluth last year, and we had a lunch at this place called Northern Waters Smokehaus. They had a crazy long line, but it proved worth the wait. We all had delicious sandwiches, but the real standout was their potato salad, which pretty much everyone at the table declared was…
Dirt Bombs (from The Summer I Turned Pretty)
I tried making the Dirt Bombs from The Summer I Turned Pretty to see what the fuss was about. Turns out, they are pretty great!
Chicken Basil Stir Fry
Somehow, my basil plant that I acquired at Cub over a year ago is still thriving! I recently repotted it with some new soil, and it’s been going through a growth spurt. It has received a place of honor in my kitchen, right by the window, and I am quite proud of it. However, I…
S’mores Brownies
What did I say in my last post? It’s S’mores Summer! So I made some S’mores Brownies. Partly because my sister suggested the idea a few weeks ago, and partly because I had some leftover chocolate and graham crumb from the s’mores cake I made last week. I wasn’t about to let those ingredients go…

Coffee Toffee Blondies

A Cake Fit for a Marathon (Chocolate Ovaltine Cake)
On Saturday, I celebrated my 26.2nd birthday the best way a runner can… by running a marathon!! There were no official races this weekend, so I did this by walking out my door and running 26.2 miles across Minneapolis. This included running around 5 different lakes, passing a few landmarks. My family took turns running…
