Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza

My first thought was “coal fired…really?” But I was willing to go for it since it was a place I hadn’t tried and we were meeting some friends for dinner who had picked the place. These friends are Warehouse District lovers through and through and I don’t blame them. With markets, restaurants and coffee shops [...]

Taste of Scandinavia

It’s been two days since the incident happened so I think this is enough recovery time for me to move on and write about it. They predicted it…I will give them that, and I should have been forewarned. So when I woke up to an overcast, brisk Sunday morning I should have known that, for [...]

Local D’Lish Grand Opening

Although Local D’Lish has been providing locally sourced foods to the Warehouse District neighborhood for over a month, today was their Grand Opening Event. I had a chance to stop by to taste many of the goodies that they carry. I know it might sound corny, but I can’t help saying that the flavors were [...]

Wild Mushroom Risotto

It’s that time of year when my ‘comfort’ recipes are being dusted off and enjoyed again. Last week it was wild mushroom risotto. I had not realized how much I enjoy risotto until last Spring when my mom suggested we make it one evening while I was visiting. That evening we made a roasted [...]

Apple Picking at Minnetonka Orchards

Saturday afternoon was beautiful…a perfect day for a drive out west. I’m always up for taking a drive. When it’s Fall I can’t think of better thing to do on a crisp afternoon.

As we headed west, the Fall leaves became noticeably more vibrant than they were downtown. Golds, reds, and oranges stood out brilliantly against [...]

Barbary Fig

After making a date to grab lunch with a friend who works in St. Paul, I did some research to get some options. I could have picked one of my usual favorites in St. Paul, but I wanted to try someplace new and I was very pleased to find several great options. After deliberating, [...]

Khyber Pass Cafe

Last Saturday night after seeing “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” at the Grandview Theater in St. Paul, Kyle and I were hungry. Just down on Grand Avenue a short distance was Khyber Pass Cafe, a perfect place for a late night dinner. I really had no expectations for Khyber Pass, as I had never had [...]

Sunday Night Scallops

We stayed in on Sunday night and made a feast of scallops. They were so good that I just had to share the recipe with you. The scallop recipe itself was from Epicurious, but I did make a few tweaks to it, following some suggestions from the comments on the site and also adding a [...]
