Barbacoa Beef Brisket for Pressure Cooker
In recent months, I have been unfaithful to my first love at Chipotle. After sampling my daughter’s barbacoa bowl, I turned my back on a long-term relationship with chicken, and have had a fling with barbacoa.
Bangers & Mash
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and people around the world claim Irish heritage. I love Irish food, but it’s even better when combined with Swedish food. What would that be called? “Sw-Irish”?

Every restaurant seems to have a signature dish. Grandma’s restaurant in Duluth, MN is famous for their wild rice soup.
Krumkake – Rullrån
Oh Yeah! This is totally happening right now! Christmas treats hold a special place in our hearts, and during the season of Advent we lean towards traditions in a heavier, more beautiful way than during the other 11 months of the year.
