Raisin Bread for St. Patrick’s Day
Amid all the chaos of the coronavirus situation, I am writing from my parent’s dining room table in Central Maryland. Social distancing has led to a lot of baking and cooking from my end! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (one of the best days of the year), I wanted to make a fresh loaf of Irish Soda Bread. From all of the recipes that I’ve read (here and here), this is basically a bread loaf-sized cakey buttermilk biscuit made with flour, salt, butter, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and raisins. This sounded like a great idea, except, along with toilet paper, the grocery stores were also fresh out…

Overcast Skies Won’t Dampen a Lutsen Trip

Though sunny skies and warm weather were in my mental movie of this trip, overcast skies, thick…

Spring 2018 was pretty much non-existent, and I am now firmly in summer mode. It was 100 degrees on Memorial Day in Minneapolis. So hot! You all know that I love setting goals (though they may or may not be actually attainable). For this post, I was planning on doing a Summer bucket list, but that ended up proving to be too much for one post. SO, I am going to break it…

Committing To Shovel Snow
Shoveling snow. A topic that I, as a Minnesota lifestyle blogger who has shoveled snow all winter long, need to touch on. Basically a requirement at this point. I can’t believe I haven’t brought it up until now… This is the perfect time too as flakes gently fall from the pure white sky as I sit in this Starbucks. First and foremost, snow is a wakeup call that we are nearly powerless when it comes to the workings of our world. Mother Nature has all of the control, and she is going to use her power as she deems fit, summoning a foot and a half of icy snow at…
