It’s almost time for the outdoor Farmers Market season in Minnesota and I can’t wait! I love browsing markets, especially the Minneapolis Farmers Markets on weekends when the place is bustling with everything imaginable from produce to breads and meats (and the BEST bratwurst and lemonade!).
I was excited to recently hear about and review a new cookbook available called the Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook: A Guide to Selecting and Preparing the Best Local Produce by Tricia Cornell. It’s not only a cookbook but a comprehensive guide to choosing, using, and preserving the food found at farmers markets. [Read more…]

(This is a guest post by Gianna from FamilyFunTwinCities.com. They’re celebrating their 1st birthday. Visit their website for fun things to do in the Twin Cities!)
My name is Gianna Kordatzky, and I am part of a team of moms who has created a website called Family Fun Twin Cities. Every week, we talk about what is happening around the metro: activities that are a must, events that were trying, local businesses that are too fun to ignore. We keep a calendar of happenings, both free and not so free. We aren’t endorsing these events as much as letting you know they are there. If you have feedback on outings you have taken with your family, we would love to hear about it!
I met Lisa technically through a group on Facebook, but apparently, we have brushed elbows being that we have a mutual friend. Lisa is a very talented lady and lots of fun. I am excited to get to know her readers! [Read more…]
