Did you know hash browns don’t have to come out of a bag? Not that I’m looking down my nose at bagged hash browns. Right now I have approximately five bags of varying quantities hogging precious space in my freezer, half of them congealed into an unusable, impenetrable solid mass thanks to freezer burn. Thanks (for absolutely nothing,) freezer burn! Hash browns are like yogurt, frozen corn, petite diced tomatoes, and wine, if we’re being honest, in that I unnecessarily stock up on them every time I go to the grocery store even though I’ve already got plenty on hand at home....

Ahem! Sorry, but, AHHHH!!! Ok, let me back up for a sec! As I mentioned, this Friday my Mom and I drove to Davenport to attend a luncheon to benefit Gilda’s Club, a national cancer support organization, featuring a cooking demonstration and Q&A session with hunky Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone. My friend John works for Panera, who partners with Gilda’s Club, and had tickets to the luncheon. Knowing that I wouldn’t want to miss the chance to see Curtis in person, he invited me and my Mom to join him....

Happy new year — I hope you had a fabulous end to the holiday season! Ours felt fuller then ever before — in slightly stressful ways (does crying in your car prior to a media event count as being stressed out?!) but also in truly wonderful ways. We took Gwen and my niece to the Nutcracker ballet, my Mom and I took in a Christmas Eve-Eve Mannheim Steamroller concert, Ben and I hosted our first holiday party, and I played so much Amy Grant that Gwen memorized the lyrics to Tender Tennessee Christmas, bahaha....

Raise your hand if you’re guilty of buying ground beef at the grocery store each week with no real idea of how you’re going to use it? As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been doing a much better job at meal planning since Gwen was born, but prior to, a pound of ground beef always made it into my cart each time I shopped whether I had a recipe in mind to use it in or not....

My family is heading out west for summer vacation next month and my brother, who lives in Colorado, has already reminded me several times to not forget his delivery of local Iowa sweet corn. I told him only if he has a bushel of Colorado peaches waiting for us to devour. ;) Iowa summers are synonymous with sweet corn season. We’re the largest producer of corn in the US, and you won’t find corn that’s sweeter, snappier, nor more delicious anywhere else on the planet....

The only thing shorter than summer is cherry season (and the jean shorts teenagers are wearing these days. Holy buckets, bring back the Bermuda shorts of yesteryear!)

A few weeks ago I mentioned my family’s tradition of eating Cajun Shrimp on Christmas Eve, which several people asked about, so I thought I’d share the recipe just in time for the holiday. Easy Cajun Shrimp Eating Cajun Shrimp was actually a part-time tradition for many years because every other year growing up my family and I would travel to Ohio, where our extended family lived, for Christmas. My Grandpa was Slovak and his family’s tradition was to serve only white food on Christmas Eve followed by a bright and colorful feast on Christmas day....
