Along with the swift fall breeze, falling leaves and an imminent chill in the air, there’s nothing more comforting than to hear the words, “soup’s on.” One of my personal favorites is also a regional gem. Knoephla soup is a German Russian tradition. “Knoeph” translates to buttons or knobs and is a whimsical reference to the stiff dumplings--which are the centerpiece of the soup. It’s cream-based and is relatively quick, cheap, and easy to make.

Dusk at Probstfield Farm in North Moorhead brings forth a timeless feeling of a slower life, one that accompanies the rhythms of family and hard work. Imagine the bustling farm, chickens in the yard, the kitchen garden close to the house, and peonies lining the driveway. When Randolph and Catherine Probstfield settled in North Moorhead and built their log cabin in 1868, they were one of the first European farming families in the Red River Valley.
At the…

With overfishing decimating seafood supplies around the world, the hottest new trend to hit our shores is tinned seafood. This is nothing new to the Europeans but it is taking hold here in the U.S. as fisheries find new ways to market their products in a manner that is as fresh as the first catch.
So what is the difference between tinned and canned? About five dollars and a whole lot of quality and flavor. This is not your run-of-the-mill ninety-nine cent can of tuna that went in little…

The first time you meet Jay “Hollywood” Halvorson, the owner of the Texas Q barbeque food truck, you would think he was born and raised in Texas. He has an accent that has stuck with him from the two years that he lived in Houston in his late 20s, and his meat is seriously on point.
Surprisingly, he was born in Fargo and has spent most of his life here, except for some of his teenage years out in Washington. But between his accent,…

Sanborn North Dakota is a small farming community a little over an hour from Fargo on the I-94, just past Valley City. It has a population of a little less than 200 people, and may be best known for their Bull-o-rama in mid-July, and Fourth of July events which include a parade and a demolition derby that has become somewhat legendary in the surrounding communities.
The J&L Bar and Grill is the local social hub serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and libations. Breakfast is served from 8…

Ugly food, which is cosmetically imperfect food, has been receiving increased attention on a national basis. End Food Waste, nationally, and Ugly Food of the North, locally, are asking sellers and consumers to take another look at produce and to realize that while that carrot may be a little crooked, it is still just as tasty and nutritious.
According to ReFEDToday, the United States spends $218 billion a year growing, processing, transporting, and disposing of food that is never…

Robinson, North Dakota, is about two and a half hours northwest of Fargo, it can easily be found on I-94, but the route via highway 36 is a sight to behold with its gently rolling hills, pothole sloughs filled with multiple varieties of waterfowl and a handful of small towns with plenty of character dotting the highway.
Robinson has a population of close to 40 and is home to a bank, post office, and Hanson’s Bar. Hanson’s has been a staple on Highway 36 since its inception in 1936…
