living our sweet midwest life

From “too much social talking” to podcast host.

Welcome to Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens podcast, a show for people who embrace the warm and cozy spirit of everyday living in the Midwest. Whether you cook, bake, or have food delivery on speed dial, everyone has a comforting recipe or story to share. We bake cookies for our kids’ hockey teams and bring cheesy hash browns to funerals. Lefse and krumkake are in our DNA. Candy bars and apples make a salad. We’ll ditch work for a lake day, drive an hour for an old-fashioned bakery, and don wool mittens at -20°F and shorts once it’s 50°F. 

Dish & Tell: Recipes from the Heart with Sarah Peterson Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens

Recipes, links, and photos from this episode are on https://randomsweets.com/dish-tell-recipes-from-the-heart-with-sarah-peterson/.There’s something special about a cookbook that doesn’t just show you how to make a recipe—but tells you where the dish came from and why it matters. That’s exactly what you’ll find in Sarah Peterson's new book, "Dish & Tell: Recipes from the Heart." The Minnesota writer behind Vintage Dish and Tell blog is back with us today to celebrate the launch of her first cookbook—a collection of 75 recipes and stories from the heart of her family and 40 others.We talk about her journey from blog to book, the stories behind the recipes, and the people who become “recipe keepers” in our lives. If you like handed-down, handwritten recipes with meaning and heart, you’ll feel right at home in this episode. Guest Sarah PetersonBlog: Vintage Dish & Tell https://vintagedishandtell.comInstagram: @vintagedishandtellSubstack: https://vintagedishandtell.substack.comContact: https://vintagedishandtell.com/contact/Facebook: Vintage Dish and TellHost and Producer, Staci Mergenthal⁠RandomSweets.com⁠Website ⁠randomsweets.com⁠Instagram ⁠@potatoesandmittens⁠Instagram ⁠@randomsweets⁠Facebook: ⁠Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens⁠Facebook ⁠Random Sweets⁠Pinterest ⁠@staciperry⁠Email: ⁠staci@randomsweets.com⁠#ourSweetMidwestLife
