Maple Glazed Seared Scallops

June 4, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Do you ever have those dishes that you only order in restaurants because you think that it’s just too complicated to make them at home?

And you pay a fortune for them, but what choice do you have?

That dish is scallops for me. And it turns out I DO have a choice. And so do you.

See, in reality, scallops are not at all difficult to make. In fact these Maple Glazed Seared Scallops are pretty darn easy. But shhh….I won’t tell if you won’t. And you will look like a superstar at your next dinner party.

Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip

May 21, 2019 By Lane 3 Comments

Here in Minneapolis we finally saw our first 80 degree day. Everyone flocked outside to take advantage of the amazing sunshine. People congregated on driveways, at parks, around our 10,000+ lakes. Just so dang happy to be outside!

But as the temperatures go up, and everyone gathers outside, snacks are needed. Like this Lemon Rosemary White Bean Dip made with Fresh Crush Rosemary Olive Oil from the Queen Creek Olive Mill. Perfect for a summer gathering (or really ANY gathering).

Don’t trust me? It’ll take you FIVE minutes to make it this delicious dip and you can see for yourself!

Roasted Carrots with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce

May 7, 2019 By Lane 7 Comments

Plant forward.

Although I’ve been hearing this everywhere, it took me awhile to figure out what exactly this meant! I mean it’s not necessarily vegetarian or vegan…

Finally, I realized it is as simple as making plants the star of the show. Now that is nutrition advice we should ALL get behind.

Let me show you one way to make it not only simple-but delicious as well! It’s so, so easy with these Roasted Carrots with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce. (and as I had just published a peanut sauce recipe a few weeks ago, these roasted carrots are quite timely-now you’ll have a great way to use that sauce!)
