About Our Blog

We are a couple based in Minnesota who believe that great food and great company are the heart of a happy home. Our kitchen is where tradition meets spontaneity—we love the comforting, familiar flavors of the Midwest, but we are also driven to discover bold, new techniques and ingredients from around the world.

• The Homestyle Comfort: Expect cozy, tried-and-true recipes perfected over years of cooking together, often featuring local, seasonal ingredients.
• The Fusion Inspiration: We aren’t afraid to mix things up! We often take a classic Midwest dish and give it a global twist, or bring an unexpected flavor profile to your weeknight dinner table. We call it “Midwest Meets Global Plate.”

Beyond the Kitchen: Adventures Outdoors

For us, life isn’t just about what’s on the stove; it’s about what’s outside the door. When we aren’t in the kitchen, you can find us exploring the incredible Minnesota landscape—from the 10,000 lakes to the vast forests.

We believe the best recipes are often inspired by the places we visit. Whether it’s a campfire meal after a day of hiking or a perfect picnic for a scenic drive, we share our favorite outdoor adventures and the simple, delicious food that fuels them.
