About This Blog

I'm a Minnesotan that loves to cook. I'm on a quest to become a great cook. In this space, I mostly share my recipes and review recipes I've tried.

If I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Mexican. If I had to choose one food, it would be chips and salsa.

I would die without Greek yogurt. I go through at least 3 32-oz. containers a week. I prefer quark, but it's hard to get in the U.S.

My boyfriend taught me to appreciate rare steak and I've never looked back. I don't understand how I used to enjoy well-done meat.

I prefer salty to sweet.

I'll eat almost anything once.

I drink my coffee black or with milk only.

I've made a lot of disastrous meals, but I've learned something every time.

I drink copious amounts of wine.

Trying raw herring in Holland (yuck!)
