Foodzie!

Posted in Edible Resources on January 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I recently came across this site, Foodzie, and honestly can’t remember how I got there. But I’m glad I did. Based out of San Francisco, they’re “a marketplace to discover and buy food from small artisan producers and growers.” Sounds great, right? Nose around and look at all their amazing finds. I was especially intrigued [...]

Time for a Challenge

Posted in Blogs, Edible Resources on January 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Jen told me about a new Flickr group called the Cookbook project, where you make a recipe from one of your cookbooks and them post the results. Well, I know I have enough cookbooks, but I rarely use them. I find myself searching for recipes online and in the, um, many magazines I receive each [...]

Um… The Good Earth, Again!

The In-laws called Saturday morning and were going to be shopping for a new couch in the same mall as The Good Earth. Did we want to meet them for Brunch? Um, Yeah. That’s a silly question. Of Course! They knew I had been there just last week for Mom’s Birthday, but no, I [...]

Enticing Enchiladas

Posted in Recipes, tagged , on January 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I was totally brain-dead towards the end of last week when it came to a dinner idea. I knew I had a pound of ground bison I had to use, but the chili recipe I had been planning to make just didn’t sound good. I looked around and found a recipe for these Enticing Enchiladas. [...]

A Good Day for the Good Earth

Posted in Restaurants, Twin Cities, tagged , , on January 22, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Not only was this past Tuesday a historical day, it was my Mom’s birthday as well. I took her to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, the Good Earth. I’ve written about it before, and I’ll continue to write about it as long as they keep serving healthy, innovative food like they do.
Mom had [...]

Quick Downtown Lunch

Posted in Uncategorized on January 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »

There’s a coffee shop near my office that has really, really good soup. The shop is called Java J’s and they are a little hip joint that has live music, sponsors a scooter club and lets their patrons bring their dogs inside (where, frankly, I think they belong). They don’t make it from scratch, although [...]

Crock-Pot Recipes

Posted in Cooking, Edible Resources, tagged on January 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Here in the “Twin Cities” there are two primary newspapers. We receive the printed version of the “Minneapolis” paper, but I’ve started to check out the “St. Paul” paper online. And it’s a nice change of pace. Last week I found a link to sign up for weekly crock-pot recipes. Not sure how it will [...]

Hot Fudge and Bananas over Coffee Ice Cream

Posted in Uncategorized on January 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I’ve been saving this one until it warmed up, and tomorrow (Friday) it’s finally supposed to. Okay, so for most of you a high of 6 degrees isn’t exactly warm, but when the high has been hovering around 10 below for the last three days, we’ll take what we can get. And at this point, [...]

Pesto Gnocchi with Green Beans

Posted in Uncategorized on January 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Ever since I had the gorgonzola gnocchi at Crave over the holidays, I’ve been craving the little dumplings. I ran across a recipe for Gnocchi with Pesto and remembered that I made pesto this fall and it’s just waiting in the freezer downstairs. I picked up a package of vacuum-packed gnocchi and pulled a bag [...]
