Apparently, going to Ikea for Swedish Meatballs is a thing. I didn’t know it was a thing until I went to Ikea this week. I mean, I’ve been to Ikea before, but I’ve never dined in their food court until now. You should’ve seen the line up of people waiting to order their Swedish meatballs.… Continue reading Swedish Meatballs
Summer means lots of salads to me. Pasta salads, potato salads, broccoli salads. Anything quick and easy that can go with grilled meat. It’s been super hot here in Seattle the last few summers and I am a grump about heat. Nobody here has air conditioning! Do you know how miserable it is to sit… Continue reading Best Broccoli Salad.

Green eyes do not count, ya’ll! I know! I have… Continue reading Traditional Irish Soda Bread

This soup is cozy. I got this recipe from my Aunt, so I’m not sure what magazine or cook book it came… Continue reading Winter White Root Vegetable Soup
