Are you picnicking and potlucking for the holiday Are you picnicking and potlucking for the holiday weekend?🧺
 
Just a friendly reminder that there is Potluck & Party Food chapter in “Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart” with so many family-favorite recipes for all sorts of potluck pleasers, including these salami chips, a simple recipe that makes a big impression!
 
Years ago, my mom debuted these at a July 4th potluck. She brought them in her Tupperware container that normally housed sweets. Imagine our surprise when we cracked the lid and found rows upon rows of neatly stacked salami chips! Served with a side of sour cream and freshly torn basil, salami chips proved to be an unexpected hit and soon became one of our family’s party staples.❤️

When a stranger reaches out to offer you her mother’s extensive recipe collection, you say YES! Thanks to Wendy for trusting me with her mom’s lifetime of handwritten recipe cards as well as a variety of vintage pamphlets and clippings from food manufacturers, magazines and even some tips for “finishing touches that make a meal a feast” from Jacque Pepin! 

Can’t wait to dive in and share more about Bev’s story and recipes soon! Stay tuned!🤗🤗
Next up…a “Dish & Tell” road trip to Marshall, Min Next up…a “Dish & Tell” road trip to Marshall, Minn.! 

I am so excited to speak at the @lyonmuseum this coming Tuesday. I’ll share more about me, my passion for cherished family recipes, how the cookbook came to be, give a glimpse into some of the stories/recipes inside, share a few treats from the book, and hopefully have a chance to “dish & tell” with some of the fine residents of southwestern Minnesota!!
 
I am also so excited to visit this unique museum, which has the most adorable vintage PINK kitchen! I may never leave!! 😂😂 If you are in the area, I hope you will come say hi! I’ll bring along books for purchase and will be happy to sign them.
A year ago this week, I had the joy of welcoming R A year ago this week, I had the joy of welcoming Rachael of @setthetablephotography into my vintage kitchen to photograph recipes for my cookbook. Spending the day cooking, setting up and styling recipes, and watching her in action was one of the highlights of the entire cookbook process.🤗 

Not only was she an absolute blast to work with, Rachael also taught me so much about the little details that make food photography come to life, from the magic of natural lighting to a perfectly imperfect linen, or how a few colorful herbs or tiny flowers can add just the right finishing touch.🌸

Some of my favorite images in the book are hers, including Becky’s Birthday Cake on the cover, the Dutch pancake in all its glory, Grandma Janet’s White Cookies, the mile-high peanut butter pie and several others tucked throughout the pages. She captured the food and my kitchen exactly the way I hoped the book would feel: warm, nostalgic, welcoming and full of stories.💕

Sharing a few of her photos (and a couple behind-the-scenes moments) today because looking back on this project makes me feel incredibly grateful for the talented people who helped bring it to life.😘
It’s Monday, what’s making you happy? I’ll tell yo It’s Monday, what’s making you happy? I’ll tell you what’s making me smile. This sweet gal (Napco head vase) I just rediscovered that my friend Toni gave me years ago! She is the perfect vessel for the Lily of the Valley from my yard!🥰

Today’s heat wave has me craving my Aunt Ede’s cre Today’s heat wave has me craving my Aunt Ede’s creamy cucumbers! 💚
 
This light and creamy cucumber salad has been making appearances at our family table for decades, but I’ll always associate it with Ede and picture her in her kitchen overlooking Cass Lake in northern Minnesota, where garden cucumbers and simple home-cooked meals were in abundance.
 
Grateful to have this well-loved recipe card in my mom’s handwriting, but you can also find the recipe in the Memorable Mains & Sides chapter of my cookbook! (Appears my mom must have been adjusting the recipe for a potluck!😂) 
 
Tip: My mom used to make these cucumbers with @topthetater instead of sour cream. Get yourself a bag of Old Dutch chips, and you’ve got the perfect supper for a hot night.☀️
