Summer time and Moscow Mules are made for each other! When Jessica from Moscow Muled (Moscow Mule Mugs) contacted me I thought the timing was perfect. I had been working on a Scandinavian version of the Moscow Mule, spring time was coming and she offered to send me a couple of mugs to try out. […]
It’s a Scandinavian thing, really it is! Drive down the road in Denmark during pine needle picking season and you’ll see Danes pulled off to the side of the road foraging pine needles. Seem strange? No stranger than juniper berries or rosemary! I got turned on to this delight several years ago when I attended […]
Big News!!!! I’m going to Iceland in August. Like, wow, I mean wow I can’t believe it. If you’ve been hanging out here for awhile you’ll see that I have been posting a lot or Nordic, and more specifically Icelandic recipes. I’ve taken a keen interest in my heritage and of course for me that […]
It’s Secret Recipe Club time, something that I look forward to every month. Unfortunately this will be my last month. As much as I enjoy being assigned another blog in secret and then revealing what recipe I made, I have been struggling with getting my posts done, or even posting on time. My schedule has […]
I’ve begun to realize that I have an obsession with salt, salt of every flavor and variety. I don’t heavily salt my food but I do enjoy the briny taste of salt when it hits my taste buds. I’ve always had a preference for salt over sweet, and if I have a sweet I love […]
How did I get so lucky? I can’t believe that for the second time in my Secret Recipe Club that I’ve been assigned to Chelsy’s Blog Mangia! I had several recipes ‘secretly pinned’ to try, one of them was non-food but a 3-ingredient Coconut body scrub (first I need to find coconut sugar), and I […]
/I see on Facebook many of my friends are listing something they are grateful for, some of it is important and some is silly like “I’m grateful for cornflakes” but the sentiment is what’s important. Maybe saying you’re grateful for cornflakes sounds silly, but shouldn’t we always be grateful to have food to feed us? […]
I was so happy when I got my assignment this month for Secret Recipe Club! I was assigned Tandy from Lavender and Lime. First off I’m a fan of citrus, and she obviously is too, it’s right there in her title. Tandy is from South Africa, two years ago McGyver and I went on a […]
It’s hard to believe that it’s time for the Secret Recipe Club reveal. Each month passes by faster and faster! If you haven’t heard of SRC before, it’s a way for other bloggers to secretly cook another bloggers recipe and then post about the experience. Amanda from Amanda’s Cookin started it, there are four groups […]
Can you believe, me the ultimate beef lover, has never ever tasted or cooked a flat iron steak before? I know, I know, everyone else has. Where have I been, out in the pasture with cows? It was high time that I put an end to this situation. When my grocer had them on special […]
