Ready for another cabin story? Well, sorry to disappoint. The only story here is that I was hungry (Well, I guess technically I WAS at the cabin). Hungry for a burger. A home grilled, oozy, gooey, flavorful burger. A BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. And I wasn’t going to stop until I got it. …

A Moveable Feast: Creamed Jalapeño Spinach

July 11, 2017 By Lane 1 Comment

Our epic 8 course dinner party (lovingly named A Moveable Feast) continues with this amazing Creamed Jalapeño Spinach. Truth is, I’m a relative newbie when it comes to creamed spinach. My initial thoughts when faced with creamed spinach were not terribly positive. However after tasting it, I was immediately a convert. Really, it’s heavenly! But decide for yourself. Since my obsession with creamed spinach involves great friends, a (now) destination brewery, and my culinary crush, you might just want to read more!

Good Food Reads: Grilling

June 30, 2017 By Lane 2 Comments

Join us today for some Grilling Recipes to add to your “must-make” list!

Hi y’all! Holly and I recently discovered the grill. I know, I know, I’m sure many of you are sighing, I mean really, why in the world have two avid home cooks NOT been using the grill? I will tell you though, for both of us, the grill has previously been the baby of our husbands, and you know how those guys can get…territorial. Plus both of us are super busy moms (with four kids between us), run this blog, run bookclubs (hi ladies!), and work FULL TIME! Far be it for us to look a gift horse…or whatever that crazy cliche is! Someone was going to feed the kids and give us a night off-we ACCEPT!

Alas…there was a day recently that there was no husband around (yep, they work too) and therefore we had to figure it out. Turns out all of that fancy schooling we did paid off…the gas grill was conquered! To be honest, all we had to do was grill some bread for an appetizer, so not rocket science, but hey, we have to start somewhere! So for this episode of Good Food Reads we wanted to pay homage to the grill. And because Minnesota summer is so beautiful for grilling we also wanted to introduce you to some local Minnesota bloggers. Ready? Read on for some amazing grilling recipes…

Signature cocktails. Eight courses. Ten friends. This is the perfect recipe for an Epic Dinner Party, which we’ve aptly named “A Moveable Feast”.

Like this Beer Braised Brisket, served in a basket complete with a red gingham liner (just like at your favorite Southern BBQ joint!). …

Roasted Vegetables

I was hosting a dinner the other night, when I realized I needed a side dish. It had go with flank steak (recipe here), but the grill was going to be in use, so I needed to use the oven. In came these Roasted Vegetables.

Otherwise known as “How to make vegetables taste like candy”.

Or otherwise known as “How to get your kids to eat vegetables”.

And sometimes the best recipes are the most simple. You actually won’t believe how simple. And here’s how to do it…
