Corn

November 21, 2019Sarah

Growing up, one of the side dishes I enjoyed the most at our family’s Sunday dinners and holiday gatherings was Scalloped Corn. A layer of…

Last week, I got to take the Dish & Tell event wag

Last week, I got to take the Dish & Tell event wagon to the Lyon County Museum in Marshall, Minnesota—and what fun it was! Thanks to everyone who came out, especially those who shared their own food memories and cherished family recipes, from sour cream raisin pie to krumkake to homemade ice cream and banana split ice cream birthday cake (which I WILL be making very soon!).🎂

The museum itself was the perfect setting for this event, with interactive exhibits that share the history of the region, including some very fun areas that showed what a 1940s home would have been like. My favorite room was obviously the head-to-toe PINK kitchen where I took a few minutes to “play house,” straightening up and opening drawers and cupboards that revealed charming vignettes filled with vintage utensils, community cookbooks, and even old Schwan’s milk bottles. It felt like stepping right into the pages of the stories I love to share.💕

Swipe through for a peek at the event, some familiar faces, and one of the most charming museum kitchens I’ve ever seen. ❤️

P.S. The local paper even shared a story recapping the event! I’ll drop a link to the article in my Stories.

Do you remember Finger Jell-O aka Jell-O Jigglers?

Do you remember Finger Jell-O aka Jell-O Jigglers?

My childhood neighbor-mom-next-door, Sharon, introduced our family to this delicacy in the 80s. ❤️ As kids it felt so wild to eat Jell-O this way!

When I came across her handwritten recipe the other day, I knew I would be making this nostalgic treat! However, I also couldn’t help but wonder would happen if I used my @nordicwareusa Bundt tea cake pan….

What do you think?!

Mini Jell-O Bundts Recipe:

4 envelopes Knox gelatin
3 (3 oz.) boxes Jell-O
4 cups boiling water

—Prep pan by spraying a thin layer of Pam or non-stick cooking spray

—Bring water to boil

—Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix together the gelatin and Jell-O before dissolving in the boiling water.

—Pour into the tea cake pan. (I first poured the mixture into my liquid measuring cup to make easier to portion/pour in the molds)

—Cool and put in fridge to set for at least 4 hours.

—To unmold, gently loosen edges with a toothpick, knife or small spatula and lift out of pan.

As the Julia Child exhibit at the @minnesotahistor

As the Julia Child exhibit at the @minnesotahistorycenter comes to a close, I felt compelled to go one more time and bid adieu to one of my favorite culinary icons of all time!❤️

Have you been to it yet?! I especially loved all the photos from Julia’s life, the interactive components that made you feel like you were cooking alongside Julia in her kitchen and how the exhibit included areas devoted to Minnesota’s own food community—the community cookbooks, the nods to the region’s food manufacturers and the very special wall that celebrates local cooks and cookbook authors.❤️

What an honor to see my book sit alongside so many amazing Minnesota cookbooks and be a part of this extraordinary exhibit! Thank you to the @mnhspress for including me and thanks to @minnesotahistorycenter for bringing Julia to Minnesota!❤️

Here is a fun ‘80s throwback for National Burger D

Here is a fun ‘80s throwback for National Burger Day: a recipe for Crunch Burgers straight from my mom’s recipe box!

Some seasoned salt, a splash of Worcestershire sauce, and crispy fried onions (yes, the same ones from the famous green bean casserole) mixed in…what’s not to like here?!

These burgers were a regular on our family table, often served with a healthy side of Ore-Ida Crisper fries and frozen ahead in my mom’s Tupperware Hamburger Keepers — the very same vintage containers pictured here that I recently tracked down for my own kitchen. Some recipes just taste like home. ❤️

I’ll share a link to the story I shared on my blog a while back (and the complete recipe) in my stories!😘

No cookies on the home front this week as they are

No cookies on the home front this week as they are all packed up and headed with me to book events! But doesn’t this little dessert stand look pretty with these dried flowers leftover from past events?!😍

Let’s play a campfire game my family loves called,

Let’s play a campfire game my family loves called, “I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing…”

We start with A and go through the alphabet — each person adds a food AND repeats all the ones before it.

I’ll start: I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing Apple Bars. 🍎

Your turn! Comment with a B food (or whatever is next in the alphabet) and repeat mine.

For example:

I am going on a picnic and I’m bringing:
Apple Bars
Brownies
Then C… and so on.

Let’s see how far we get! Maybe you will get some inspiration for your Memorial Day menu!!🧺

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.❤️

❤️ Vintage recipe card love ❤️

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!🤗🤗
