Happy Birthday Hot Cakes!

Happy Birthday Hot Cakes!...

I fancy myself as an unofficial cookie connoisseur. My love affair with the most perfect dessert started when I was 15 and got a job at Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar booth at the Minnesota State Fair. I worked until midnight for 10 days straight, making cookie dough until my hands froze from cracking cold eggs; enduring battle scars on my forearms from hot cookie sheets; and hawking thousands upon thousands of ooey-gooey...

The Brunch Bunch: Joule...

Note: This post originally ran on 11/27/12, so keep in mind that the lovely folks at Joule change up their brunch menu every month. But that just means you have more reasons for return visits.) It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with everything that comes out of the kitchen at sister restaurants Joule and Revel. And my fanaticism doesn’t exactly make me a culinary trailblazer- fancy restaurant critics...

Make It a U-District Weekend...

Make plans to venture over to the U-District this weekend and you’ll find a neighborhood bustling with activities that are easy on the pocketbook. But first, a little advice. If you decide to go, take public transit—‘cause it’s gonna be biz-eee! Second, if you like crowds A LOT, go Saturday. If you don’t mind crowds all that much, go Sunday. Third, if you eat you should go because there will be tasty food all up in...

Pierogi Fest 2013...

What’s the one thing that unites pretty much every culture across the globe? If you guessed religion or language or fashion sense, you’re wrong. Sorry about that. The answer is dumplings. You name me one cuisine that doesn’t feature some sort of starch-wrapped treat and I’ll… well, I’ll give you mad props. In the meantime though, how about we talk about this coming weekend’s star...

Meal Delivery Is Seriously The Best Invention, Ever

Meal Delivery Is Seriously The Best Invention, Eve...

What’s the best thing since canned beer? In my house, it’s meal delivery. I came upon Maven Meals’ brilliant business model when my friend was having her second baby and a group of us decided to get her a gift certificate to a meal delivery service. I wanted to try it out for my family (with two kids under 4 and under foot, I was tired of making din-din every night), and to our delight, our love affair with Maven Meals...

Free Scoop Day at Cupcake Royale

Free Scoop Day at Cupcake Royale...

Every once in a while, when May 1 rolls around, I see somebody with flowers on their doorstep and remember how my grandma would totally celebrate May Day and enlist me and my youthful feet to go leave flowers on our neighbors doorsteps. Then she would reward me for doing her bidding, usually with something sugary, since my parents were hippies who thought that apples were a fancy dessert. I still have no idea what May Day is...
