I know my last post was about hot chocolate, too, but in times like these, we could all use a little more hot chocolate I think! Also, this just happens to be a topic I'm very passionate about! Here in Minnesota it is finally warming up enough to make outdoor activities a little more palatable after a few weeks of bitterly cold temps, but now Southern states are getting walloped by cold and snow! ...
A Hot Chocolate Revue
'Tis the season! At long last, today I'm doing a post on one of my favorite topics: Hot Chocolate! I may be a born-and-raised Minnesotan, but I freeze all winter! I happily drink tea and warm beverages all year round, but especially starting around November, I drink hot chocolate nearly every day (this used to be a slight exaggeration... this year it's simply the truth). Now, I am a creature ...
How many delicious things can you put in a bagel?
Bagels are probably one of the few baked goods I really missed while in Germany. Europe has us beat on croissants, baguettes, bread - in general - and a host of other things, but bagels are rather hard to find.

After noting a number of tasty-looking dessert recipes, I was intrigued to see a recipe for a peach pizza. I love a good sweet-and-savory combo, so I added it to my list of things to try! After testing out a variety ...
An Abrupt Farewell: Returning to MN
As many of you probably already know, I am now back in Minnesota, having returned to the U.S. at the end of March. Returning home from Germany earlier than planned has been one of the hardest things I have ever done - one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make. But like so many of us right now, COVID-19 has completely changed the landscape of my plans! Things had been fairly ...
Karneval!
When I told my family's former exchange student, Isi, that I was applying to spend my year as a Fulbright student in Bonn, Germany, one of the first things she said was: "That's one of the best places to celebrate Karneval!" My experience concurs! For those of you that may be unfamiliar, Karneval is pre-Lenten celebration that takes place in several different areas of Germany and the ...
