Besides snowflakes on your tongue, there are a multitude of things you can catch in Minnesota during the winter. The common cold, the flu, and norovirus (ugh and ew) can grab on tightly this time of year. You can catch hockey, football, or basketball fever with weekend tournaments, fantasy drafts, and of course, the Super Bowl and you can also fall victim to the widely prevalent winter blues, also known as cold-weather doldrums, seasonal funk, chilly malaise, and many others.

Some might call holiday décor gaudy or busy, we call it gleefully overindulgent and we’re here for it all. Not only is this season a little candy for the eyes but how about our appetites? You’re not really Christmas’ing until you’ve tried 5 different appetizers in one sitting along with a couple of rich and creamy holiday drinks. It [...]

If you’re from Minnesota, you get it. November is this sort of weird in-between time. Do the fall decorations stay up? After all, everything outside is still crunchy, orange, and dry, sort of the calling card of fall. Should you start holiday shopping? Already almost every commercial you see (yes, there are still commercials.
