Summer still seems to be hanging on, so I know I am not ready yet to turn on that oven. This is the time for lighter meals such as soups, salads and fresh fruits.
We can continue to grill, or for make one-pot top of the stove meals such as a...
Cut the Take Out
A long hard day at work. You get home and need dinner. Nothing in the fridge, nothing in the cupboard. Take-out again. The wallet just won’t comply much longer. Re-wind . A long hard day at work (sorry can’t help with that one). You get home and...

The Inn At Kristofer's In Sister Bay Wisconsin Offers A Great Dining Experience
Door County, Wisconsin is a popular destination for tens of
thousands of travelers every year. Small villages with
populations of less than 500 people swell to large crowds during
the summer weekends as people head to Door County for some rest,
relaxation, time on the water, and good food.
The Inn at Kristofer's, located on Bay Shore Drive in Sister
Bay, Wisconsin, is a wonderful place to go for a special meal.
My husband and I treated ourselves to dinner there during our
latest trip to Door County and we were very glad we did. We had
a great meal.
The first thing we noticed after being seated was the beautiful
view of the water. The restaurant is directly across the street
from the Bay in Sister Bay and large picture windows along the
front wall of the restaurant showcase the water view.
Immediately after being seated our water glasses were filled and
a wedge of fresh lime was added. We were given menus and fresh,
warm, multi-grain rolls. The rolls were served with butter
rosettes flavored with fresh basil.
The entrée special that evening was grilled quail which my
husband ordered. I had the certified Angus filet mignon, and our
oldest son, who had joined us on our vacation, chose the Roast
Duck with Orange Grand Marnier sauce.
Because we wanted to save room for dessert we skipped
appetizers, soup, and salad although the featured soup for the
evening, maple butternut squash bisque topped with pecans,
sounded delicious.
All three entrees were excellent. The presentation of the plates
was pretty and the food tasted as good as it looked. The Angus
filet had a Cabernet sauce that was just the right touch with
the beef. Homemade garlic mashed potatoes and a garnish
of
haystack potatoes rounded out the entrée.
The duck was tender, moist, and very flavorful. It was
accompanied by fresh steamed vegetables that were cooked just
right, and wild rice that contained dried cranberries and nuts.
The grilled quail was, according to my husband, cooked to
perfection. He really enjoyed it. It was accompanied by the same
wild rice as the duck and a crepe filled with a cranberry sauce,
which he thought was delicious as well.
For dessert we split two selections; a pumpkin mousse torte and
the crème brulee. The pumpkin mousse torte had a very light
pumpkin flavor and was served with a caramel sauce and fresh
whipped cream. The crème brulee was flamed at the table with
Grand Marnier. The combination of creamy vanilla custard,
crunchy caramelized topping, and Grand Marnier was delicious.
Although the Inn at Kristofer's is not an inexpensive
restaurant, it is a wonderful place to go for a special meal
whether it's for someone's birthday, anniversary, or just to
treat yourself. I highly recommend trying it. The food is
excellent and so is the service. Although we didn't have
reservations when we dined there, you may want to call ahead and
make reservations, especially if you are heading to Door County
during the busy summer months (http://www.doorcountycountry.com/food/innatkristoferssisterba
