When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

Baked Apples with Granola are super down-home easy and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. And they’re perfect in Autumn when the weather cools and you want to toss something cozy on the table.
Baked apples just out of the oven…not so pretty but so delish!
It’s easy to always think about St. Paul & Minneapolis, the Twin Cities, as a Swedish/Norwegian city and we do have a large population. Maybe our weather made them feel at home. But it’s just as easy to forget that our earliest settlements were French and/or French Canadian. So in honor of our French, here’s a “Bean Pot” or if ya want to be fancier, I’ll just call this a Minnesota Cassoulet Bean Pot.

One of the most frugal sides you can make for any casual gathering is Boston Baked Beans. Best of all, one of the most delicious sides you can make is Boston Baked Beans. Isn’t it nice when the universe aligns like that? Especially when the Boston Baked Beans are from the Bull & Finch, Cheers Boston Baked Beans Instant Pot or Not and they’re amazeballs!

I always make my salad dressings. Oh, I may have an “emergency” bottle in the fridge, but I just pretty much ignore it. I love that there’s an almost endless variety when I make my own, and I always have a new favorite. My current “crush” is Maple Dijon Vinaigrette.
