My friend Margit brought these to me at an impromptu Halloween party in 1999 at my house. I thought they looked "interesting," but oh when I tasted them... They were great! Margit's family used to go to Sand Lake in Minnesota every summer and would bring these cookies, thus the name. They are almost like… Continue reading Sand Lake Cookies

Chili Egg Puff Breakfast Casserole
We would not steer you wrong. Egg casseroles are a dime a dozen, and this is a clear winner. I think it is from my friend Sandy in Portland, but it's been so long, who knows now. I follow the directions, except that sometimes I add some good diced ham for another all-in-one meal. If… Continue reading Chili Egg Puff Breakfast Casserole
Butternut Squash Lasagna
I'm crazy about butternut squash, especially when I find it already peeled and cubed. This recipe isn't exactly quick, but it makes 2 pretty big ones, so you have an extra for the freezer or for a friend. It's another Cooking Light recipe, with only 254 calories per portion. But don't hold this against it.… Continue reading Butternut Squash Lasagna

Gorgonzola, Pear & Almond Pizza
This pizza is so unique, you won't believe it. It is for serious pizza lovers and foodies only.

Classic Pizza Dough
Pizza is one of my favorite food, and I have enjoyed making homemade pizzas for years with this pizza dough. Nothing is more fun than inviting over a few couples, having them bring some toppings, then bellying up to the pizza-making bar. 1 cup lukewarm water 2 T. olive oil 1 packet dry yeast 3… Continue reading Classic Pizza Dough
