If you’re still working on your new year’s resolution of weight loss or trying to eat healthier (or even if you’re not), I tried a new, healthy spin on an old favorite that is fantastic.

Brr. That pretty much sums up life in the upper Midwest right now. Now don’t get me wrong – our hometown has more than its share of beauty and friendly charms. But during the cold depths of January, I envy all of you who live in warmer climates. Especially since my car has refused to read more »

Ah, Thanksgiving … how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: There is not gift-giving pressure, you don’t need a costume or a date, there are no secrets to keep, no mythical creatures to embody and no political connotations.

It’s the changing of the seasons here in Minnesota … sweartshirts are coming out of storage boxes, crops are being harvested and apple trees are loaded with fruit. A few years ago, my husband planted two apple trees in our backyard. Year 1: nothing. Year 2: an apple (yes … AN apple). It’s been a read more »

I love tacos. But I don’t love cleaning up, and unfortunately I have some messy eaters at my house (true confessions: I am one of said messy eaters). Bam – grill the meat in patties, use slices of cheese and tomatoes instead of shreds, and wrap it all in a tortilla. Even my family should read more »

I’m not big into Christmas baking, but I do love sweets. And it seems like this time of year I always need treats for last-minute guests or a cookie exchange or a potluck or something, so I better make something.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry
Posted by Tastefully Simple on March 10, 2011
I love corned beef and cabbage … but only when someone else cooks it! My Irish friends say, “Oh that! ‘Tis nothing to make it!” But my corned beef never quite turns out as tender and tasty as I’d like. Plus, making it does seem like a project to me. I suppose it’s because “my read more »
