This is as local as it gets here in Minnesota. You might be wondering, as I did when I first relocated to the northern Midwest, what this “hotdish” (one word) is that you keep hearing about. I searched online everywhere for the recipe for hotdish, but it wasn’t until I married a local guy that [...]

We’ve been going through a long period where my kindergartner has brought home every possible sniffle, sneeze, cough, cold, flu, and infection in school, with, thank goodness, the exception of the head lice I heard about recently. From my conversations with other parents, this is completely normal. However, I am not equating normal with desirable [...]

With the increase in cold days and the grey skies promising (threatening?) damp weather, soup is on the menu a lot in our house. Soup is great, not just because it’s delicious, filling, and can be made fairly easily with most ingredients that you have on hand, but you can really make it as versatile [...]
Squashed Monkey Bread

I remember the first time that I had monkey bread, as a child; it was at my best friend’s house and she pulled a can of biscuit dough out of the refrigerator and said “Have you ever had monkey bread?” If the name isn’t enough catch the attention of a kid, the flavors and whole [...]
Palak Tofu

As the weather has turned colder, we’ve been getting a lot of spinach from the CSA, and we usually have a big tub of the same on hand anyway. And one thing about spinach is that it is 1) not very durable, and 2) doesn’t keep for very long (see #1). So I’ve been tossing [...]
Apple Pecan Coffee Cake

It’s been getting colder and the apples have been beyond belief with taste. I am reminded, somewhat viscerally, that when produce is in season and really local, you can’t go wrong. I don’t know if you all have been just drooling over the apples, but they’ve been almost a transcendental experience around here. Minnesota’s got [...]
Savory Autumn Stew

We’ve been really busy around here; I’ve been working a lot, Granola also works about 50 hours weekly, there’s school and toddlers throwing tantrums…a lot. Did you know that at about 20 months, toddlers will often get these Jekyll-Hyde types of personality and mood distortions? Either our oldest daughter was much easier, or since Granola [...]
Viking Roots

One of our recent CSA aquisitions, that lasted about 24 hours, was a small bag of Purple Viking Potatoes. Not everyone is familiar with the fact that Minnesota is home to the Minnesota Vikings, an NFL team. Now, I am not at all a football person. In fact, the last time I attended a football [...]
Whole Grain Banana {Momma} Nut Muffins

The weather here in the northern part of the Midwest is cooling down; it’s been running in the 50s and 60s most days and nights. That’s how fall arrives in Minnesota. One day you’re in a tank top and capris, the next you’re wearing thick socks, sweatshirts, and long pants day and night, wondering what [...]
Chickpea Cutlets & Southern-Style Greens
Posted in Dinner, tagged Beans, Greens, Southern, Vegan, Vegetarian on September 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Chickpea cutlets are to my heart and stomach what I know things like chicken-fried steak and the much-loved fried chicken are to most Southerners. I was raised in an area that [thought it] was like the deep South. Speech, summers, and people, in general, are slower, the economy was poorer, and many things were thought [...]
