Infographic: A Cheat Sheet For Grilling Out

cheesy baked artichoke dip
in college i was a waitress and bartender at The Loring Bar & Cafe in Minneapolis. it is where i met alex, so it will always hold a very special place in my heart. it was a really great place to work - cool co-workers, great customers and excellent food. the one thing that we were known for was artichoke dip. i can't tell you how many times i ate that for dinner. it was incredible but since The Loring closed no other artichoke dip has even came close to replacing it. i have tried several recipes for artichoke dip that really sucked. too dry - to heavy - not enough flavor - i have covered them all. but this recipe is the last artichoke dip recipe i will ever need. it is similar to the Loring recipe - dare i say - it might be even better.
Bake Your Heart In a Cake
Each slice of this loaf cake has a piece of your heart nestled inside.

First, mix up a box or batch of your favorite vanilla or white cake mix (my vanilla cake recipe is here). Once the batter is mixed, add pink or red food coloring to make it the desired shade.

Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites
Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites On Fridays, I teach cooking classes to two kids in our neighborhood. They are pretty knowledgeable-so my job is easy:) I think it is fantastic that they want to learn how to cook at such a young age-they are in the 3rd and 4th grade.
