Norwegian Cinnamon Knots (Kanel snurrer)

These fancy looking cinnamon knots are apparently all the rage in Norway at the moment. They show up all over the foodie blogusphere. 

Irish Shepherd's Pie

This is as Irish as it got around here on this fine Saint Patrick's day.

Norwegian Meatballs In Brown Gravy With Pea Puree

This is one of the most traditional Norwegian recipes that I grew up with and which has become a staple in my own family's dinner rotation.

Thai Coconut Chicken Curry Soup

This was the perfect soup for this chilly day. Woke up to 10 below zero F (-23 Celsius). That's crazy cold even for the hardiest of Minnesotans.

Mu Shu Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I love lettuce wraps and I should make them more often than I actually do.

Zucchini Frittata With Warm Potato Spinach Salad

I saw Lidia Bastianich on PBS the other night making this Frittata.

Hamburger Buns

I did a lot of cooking over the week end. And I think I am back in the game after a period of feeling unmotivated and uninspired in the kitchen.
