Welcome to Tonja’s Table. I have been inspired by many friends and family to share my recipes and love for cooking.
When the holidays come to a close and January arrives, I go into hibernation mode—and I love hibernating with a soothing delicious big pot of soup. I have always loved the Tuscan Chicken Soup from our local Italian cafe & deli, D’Amico and Sons. Here is my version. It’s got loads of vegetables and all…
You all know by now that no matter what I’m consuming– indulgent or healthy, I can’t skimp on flavor. This heart-healthy 5 ingredient tomato and broccoli salad gets its zing from shallots and red-wine vinegar. The key is putting your broccoli into a water bath so the shallots and vinegar absorb into the little florets…
Every year after featuring different chefs from across Minnesota, Twin Cities Live picks one dish to be their favorite. We are beyond excited to say that for 2018, Elizabeth’s favorite dish was Fettucine with Peas and Prosciutto from Tonja’s Table! It has been an amazing year being featured on TCL.

I’m rounding out my holiday entertaining with a new favorite egg bake. There are chunks of ham and buttery croissants in every bite. Melty Gruyere, cheddar cheese, and extra seasonings give this casserole a definite upgrade. Can be made ahead and baked off while you lounge in your P.J.’s and sip your bloody mary–I mean…
This showstopping, crowd-pleasing, mouthwatering roast gives your holiday dinner an elegant fancy feel, yet is foolproof to make. I’ve amped up the red wine sauce with mushrooms and blue cheese so every bite is luscious and feels holiday worthy (and the sauce can be made-ahead!) The potatoes feel rich and elegant with the simple addition…
This might be the easiest most versatile recipe I have ever given you. Overnight oats, plus 4 ingredients and a grab-it-out-of-the-fridge situation meets all your “I’m in a hurry” needs. You can literally put whatever fruit or nuts you want to on top. Just keep the oats to milk ratio the same. Don’t drink milk? …
With all the entertaining we do over the holidays, my goal is to create incredibly flavorful but easy recipes for you—mission accomplished. I love the versatility of this recipe. It can be served formally on a big platter or made up into wonderful buffet-style sandwiches. Taking time to crush the fennel seeds and red pepper…
