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.☀️

🤗Fun event alert!! 🤗 I will be at Sholom, a beaut 🤗Fun event alert!! 🤗

I will be at Sholom, a beautiful senior living community in St. Paul tomorrow afternoon, and the event is open to the public! I’ll share a presentation about me, my passion for heirloom recipes, how my book came to be, and we’ll open the floor for some real-time dish and telling with the residents and attendees! It’s always so fun to hear about others’ family-favorite recipes and food memories handed down through the generations, and I can’t think of a more perfect setting to have this type of conversation. 💕
 
Hope you will join us! I will have books for sale and will be happy to sign them!😘

A few snapshots from my weekend ❤️ pretty flowers, happy hour with my mom, cuddles with Dolly, beautiful Lake Superior views, Sammy’s Pizza, and an incredible Oreo strawberry dessert made by Mary Lou and Kara to cap off the weekend!

Not pictured: an amazing brunch with Duluth’s Best Bread pasties (thanks, Jered!), a delicious dinner prepared by Kara and Charlie, FaceTimes with Lucy in NYC, and quality time with Charlie — all reminding me how lucky I am to be a mom. 💕
Happy Minnesota fishing opener and good luck to al Happy Minnesota fishing opener and good luck to all the fishing folks today! Here are some of my favorite pictures of my Grandma Les, who played a big role in inspiring our family of fishers.💕
 
Also, if you are lucky enough to land some walleye this weekend, you can find our family-favorite recipe for pan-fried walleye in “Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart.” All you need is a sleeve of saltines, some oil, eggs, and of course…walleye!😉
Thanks to everyone who came to my book event at Ma Thanks to everyone who came to my book event at Magers & Quinn this week! It was truly a bucket-list stop on my book launch journey.🤗
 
It was as fun to be among family and friends (old and new!) and talk about the role that mothers, grandmothers, and family matriarchs play in passing down cherished family recipes and our most treasured food traditions. ❤️
 
I also shared the recipe that started it all: my mom’s shortbread chocolate chip cookies. And yes… I signed LOTS of books that I hope will be headed into kitchens and homes and I spire others to dish and tell with their loved ones!
