A little cup of cuteness for your Monday morning. A little cup of cuteness for your Monday morning. I’ve been working on some of the dainty details for my upcoming book launch event, and think I have found my new favorite way to use my grandma’s pretty dishes.💐
 
Please note: the launch event for “Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart” will take place at 2 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the Minnesota History Center. Hope you can come say hi! You can find details to RSVP, etc. at the link in my bio.
Every family has them…the women who hold their fav Every family has them…the women who hold their favorite recipes, the stories, and the traditions and pass them on. I call them “the keepers.”💕
 
As I collected cherished family recipes for my cookbook, the stories always came back to a mom, a grandma, an aunt. This is just a sampling of the original keepers featured in the book. I can’t wait for you to meet them and read their stories! Pre-order info linked in bio.😘

This Danish Puff (aka kringle, depending on which side of the Morrow family you ask) is more than a pastry—it’s a shared love story, passed down through generations, holiday mornings, and handwritten recipe cards.💕

Recipes and the sweet memories behind them are what you’ll find in my upcoming book. Pre-order details at the link in my bio.😘
I ❤️ Minnesota. If you need a sweet little pick-m I ❤️ Minnesota.

If you need a sweet little pick-me-up right now (for yourself or for friends and neighbors), here’s an easy, three-ingredient cookie recipe to make and share.

• 4 cups flour, sifted
Optional: colored sugars or sprinkles

Directions:
—Preheat oven to 275°F.

—Gradually add flour and mix until blended.
—Turn dough out onto a lightly floured counter, knead gently, and roll to about ½-inch thickness.
—Cut cookies and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Add sugar before baking if you like. If you use sprinkles, like the hearts in the picture, add after baking while cookies are still warm.
—Bake for 20 minutes, or until cookies are just lightly golden.

Baking cookies can’t solve the world’s problems, b Baking cookies can’t solve the world’s problems, but it also can’t hurt, right?

I shared the recipe for these beautiful bon bon cookies (from a vintage Betty Crocker cookbook) in October of 2019, when I wrote, “These colorful, little cookies turned out to be just the delightful, frivolous distraction I needed during a particularly drab week here in Minnesota. When the weather is crap, and the news is too much to stomach, there’s no place I’d rather be than in the comfort of my cozy kitchen baking up some sweet treats.”

I honestly don’t remember what was happening in the world that week that was so dismal, but the sentiment rings true right now. I guess I know what I will be baking this weekend! BTW, You can find this recipe on my website.😘
Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls may be the ultimate com Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls may be the ultimate comfort food—but these are not your ordinary cinnamon rolls.

These are Grandma Helen’s Cinnamon Coffee Cake Rolls from my upcoming cookbook “Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart” (just a few weeks away!).
I loved learning about this recipe from my friend Shannon and hearing how she visited her grandma a few years back so they could make the rolls together—capturing Grandma Helen’s special tips and tricks along the way.

Passed down through generations, so many cherished family recipes were never written down but learned through time spent in the kitchen together. I still think about Grandma Helen’s tip to “sugar” the counter instead of using flour—a small but magical detail that makes these rolls extra special.

This is exactly the kind of recipe you’ll find in Dish and Tell: tried-and-true dishes paired with the stories, memories, and people who made them unforgettable. 💕
