As we continue our vacation along Minnesota’s North Shore, I thought I should share another recipe that was inspired by some of the great food to be found around the Great Lakes. This comes from the same cookbook I mentioned in the previous post, Dishing Up Minnesota: 150 […]
Though this recipe might remind you of a modified “bagel and lox,” the Havarti and dill point my taste buds to Scandinavia. Either way, they are a creamy twist to a Mexican quesadilla. I came across this recipe in The New Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook by Ellen Brown. […]
When David and I lived in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the closest supermarkets to us was Whole Foods Market. I loved their great produce and the variety of ingredients I could find. But what I especially liked about going there is that Alton Brown would film scenes for […]
