bring on fall
As Minnesotans, we share a universal drive to squeeze as much fun, flavor, and magic from each season as possible because we know all too well how fleeting a season can be. But fall, in all her maroon and gold glory, hits especially hard. There are apple orchards and pumpkin patches to visit, hometown football teams to cheer on, and 10,000 reasons to return to the kitchen.

Halloween No-Brainer

Between school pickup and trick-or-treating plans, there’s hardly time to think, let alone squeeze in a meal. Unless you have a Lotzza Motzza frozen pizza stashed in the freezer!

To make, carve out two football-shaped slices on either side of the pie forming a skull shape. Then, create the skeleton’s facial features using two rows of mozzarella pearls for the mouth, two black olives for the nose, and stacked pepperoni and olives for the eyes. Then all that’s left to do is serve up your creepy, cheesy masterpiece to the sound of delighted screams!

Best-Ever Breakfast Sandwich

There are two non-negotiables: start with the very best protein (that would be Hormel) and build it on the freshest bread (ahem, Cub bakery). All other riffs, twists, and add-ons are welcome.

Upgrade Your Egg

Fried eggs can be spurty and scrambled eggs aren’t cohesive, but this method is just right, delivering creamy, cheesy, egg in every bite.

Whisk 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons cottage cheese, and a pinch each salt and pepper until combined. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1⁄2 tablespoon butter and cook until sizzling. Pour in the egg mixture and quickly rotate the pan so the egg covers the bottom in a thin layer. It will start to set immediately. Add a slice of cheese and when the egg is set, fold all the sides into the center so that the cheese is all wrapped up in a tidy little square.

Pan Sauce 101

When meat, poultry, or fish meet a sizzling hot skillet and create fond, aka, crusty bits, you’re already well on your way to a pan sauce. Those browned bits are hiding an incredible amount of flavor and all you need to do to unleash their full deliciousness is deglaze using whatever liquid you like. Broth, vinegar, beer, wine and cider are all solid options. Adding aromatics like garlic or herbs take things a step further in terms of yum, and tossing in a nob of butter at the end make for a glossy finish. Follow our steps and add your own riffs. As long as you’re not using a non-stick pan, there’s almost no wrong way to make a pan sauce.
