Me being me, doing what I do. Cooking, growing, canning, travel, books–whatever floats my boat that day!
Duh. The first thing most people think of when they hear Minnesota eats is good ‘ol Tater Tot Hotdish. Another one, that might be a bit further down the list, is Rotel dip. We sure love our dips here in the Upper Midwest. Rotel dip is a fan favorite. Several weeks ago, I had the …
Have I mentioned how good it feels to be home? Wow. Home is happy. I love it. A big part of why home is happy is our kids. For the time being, we are down to one kid at home still. Our youngest, Arden. Before I get into our recipes and cooking adventure, here is …
