Tiny Kitchen Cooking
Welcome back to QCK! Today’s recipe is one of my summer favorites made into pie. I have a serious love for S’mores, as you most likely know from my S’moregasbored post. I’ve pretty much had one every night since quarantine started. My favorite way to enjoy a s’more is with a Reeces’ Peanut Butter Cup […]
Welcome back to QCK! This week has been a combination of insanely hot and random thunderstorms, which means I’ve mostly been inside. I’m fine with it, but no A/C has turned cooking/baking into what feels like a full on cardio session. Lots of sweat. There has been some relief from the occasional thunderstorm bringing in […]
Welcome back to QCK! Today’s recipe is a super tasty side dish that requires almost no work. These crispy roasted potatoes are one of my favorite comfort foods and they go so well with Cane’s Sauce. If you’re not familiar with Cane’s Sauce, it’s the mayonnaise/ketchup based sauce from Raising Cane’s. It’s super easy to […]
Welcome back to QCK! I’m pretty much an adult child. In the sense that if I didn’t run this blog and if I had a better metabolism, I would gladly survive on chicken strips, Mac and cheese, and French fries. Okay, that’s not entirely true. The point is I would eat junk food dipped in […]
Welcome back to QCK! Chrissy Teigen recently posted that she was sending out care packages to all her friends with the ingredients to make what she calls “the perfect bite”. That inspired me to share the recipe for my perfect bite with you all. I used to work at a tapas restaurant in Minneapolis where […]
Welcome back to QCK! I’ve been talking a lot about shellfish lately, but it’s just that time of year and it’s so good. Today’s recipe is one of my favorites that I’ve made this summer. Arlo and I devoured the whole thing and still could have gone for more. I started thinking I should make […]
Welcome back to QCK! It’s July 4th. If you’re not feeling super patriotic this year, or haven’t in the past years, you’re not alone. The country built on immigrants has spent most of it’s modern day history working against them, families are being separated at the borders, kids are being held in cages, the ICE […]
Welcome back to QCK! July is here, summer is in full swing, and that means in a couple weeks, gardens will be harvestable and everyone will be up to their ears in zucchini, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. While I have a variety of ways that I love using garden fresh produce, or my commonly for […]
Welcome back to QCK! Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite pie recipes, raspberry pretzel pie. If you’ve ever been to Osseo, Wisconsin, you might know about Norske Nook, a Scandinavian cafe best known for their pies. As kids, we used to take a family camping trip to Osseo every summer and each trip ended […]
Welcome back to QCK! Today’s recipe is pretty basic, but I’m sharing it because of you don’t have a go to recipe for zucchini bread, this is it. If you like banana bread, this is even better. If you don’t like banana bread, zucchini is a perfect alternative because you get the soft, cakey texture, […]
Welcome back to QCK! One of my favorite things about summer is chilled shellfish on hot days. I’m not alone in this, there’s a reason Stella’s Fish Cafe is so popular here in MN, rooftop patio and tons of options from sushi to peel and eat shrimp and of course, oysters. What’s not to love? […]
Welcome back to QCK! Today’s recipe is one for the soul. Perfect for stormy summer nights when you just want to stay inside and watch movies or when you just need something comforting and warm. We had this soup the other night for dinner with BLT’s, it was nothing short of perfection. This chowder is […]
Welcome back to QCK! Yesterday was my 23rd birthday! Arlo and I celebrated by going out to eat for the first time since Covid, it was pretty different than what eating out used to be, but it was still really nice. The food was great. In honor of my birthday, I wanted to share this […]
Welcome back to QCK! Summer’s in full swing and I’m sharing my favorite recipes for chilled shellfish, today’s is Peel & Eat Shrimp. This is kind of a copy cat recipe. If you’ve ever been to Stella’s Fish Cafe in Minneapolis, MN, you probably know their peel and eat shrimp. It’s delicious and I learned […]
Welcome back to QCK! This week has been full of wild ups and downs. Some new opportunities that I’m really excited to announce, but can’t quite yet! Some downs that I won’t get into, because honestly, I don’t feel like it. I just want to talk about food today. Is there anything better than gnocchi? […]
Welcome back to QCK! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably heard about Bakers Against Racism. If you don’t know, BAR is a virtual bake sale participated in by bakers all over the world who sold baked goods and donated all proceeds to an organization of their choice supporting the current Black Lives Matter […]
Welcome back to QCK! Last week I talked a little about my relationship with food and this blog, mostly about my need to eat healthier, mostly plant based foods. So today I wanted to share a really easy vegan recipe. I made this stir fry in an attempt to mimic beef and broccoli that you […]
Welcome back to QCK! We all know the best part of summer is S’mores around the fire, or literally just over the stove. The classic Jet Puffed, Hershey’s & Honey Maid combo is something beyond perfecting. It’s like pure joy entering your mouth. Could a classic S’more get any better? Well… yeah, it can. With […]
Welcome back to QCK! Toady I’m sharing a super yummy grill recipe that also happens to be perfect for Father’s Day! I don’t know why or how, but somewhere along the road, Father’s Day kind of turned into a holiday all about grilling and steaks, which is great if you’re into steaks. But if you’re […]
Welcome back to QCK! Last week the community area and grills at Arlo’s apartment opened back up and we were really lucky to take a night off and have a really delicious grilled dinner. It ended up being one of the first “real” meals we’ve had in a couple weeks. By real I mean we […]
Welcome back to QCK! First, I said I was going to use this page as a place to share my stories and experiences, so I’m going to. This week has been long and tiring. I’ve fallen behind on this blog for sure. I’m still trying to find balance between running things here, getting to protests, […]
Welcome back to QCK! I’m gonna get kind of real for a second. In an effort to eat healthier lately, I’ve pretty much cut out meat, most dairy, lots of sugar, and have significantly cut back on carbs. In some ways this sounds ridiculous, I am a food blogger after all. But that’s exactly the […]
Welcome back to QCK! I’m sharing a recipe today that was meant to be shared last week. While I was really excited to post this last week, it actually ended up making more sense for today. Black bean & sweet potato burgers, we all know them and love them. They’re the OG vegan burger. Last […]
