Welcome to Tonja’s Table. I have been inspired by many friends and family to share my recipes and love for cooking.
These are hands down my favorite chicken satays–so many layers of flavor and the peanut sauce is out-of-this world. You can MOGO (Make One meal, Get One meal) with the leftover chicken and sauce to make sandwich wraps the next day for lunch. Hooray! Here’s how easy it is— Spread some peanut sauce on your…
Every component of this dish complements the other. The crispy charred broccolini, combined with creamy fresh burrata cheese, bright acidic lemon juice, and toasted pine nuts create a beautiful winter side dish without skimping on flavor. I’m so used to pairing burrata with tomatoes and now I’ve found an equally good combo. Make this in…
It’s January, and like clockwork, we are all back to healthy eating. One of my favorite combinations is beets and goat cheese. The sweetness of the beets and the slightly acidic, pithy taste of the goat cheese create a perfect flavor balance. Add the slight crunch of toasted walnuts, and now we’re really talking. Not…
The 3LonettiSisters may have just made the best meatball mix ever. I’m so excited to introduce them and share my meatball and marinara recipe with you. It’s an Italian Sunday dinner to be sure. We are big fans and hope you will check them out. When I find products to rave about, I love to…
These mini luscious whipped chocolatey bites are the best way to ring in the New Year! Make ahead and pull out of the fridge for your New Year’s celebration. Extra buttery crust and creamy whipped french silk filling make it impossible to have only one. Wishing you a Happy New Year and the Best 2020!!

This has been an incredibly exciting year, as we added Grazing Tables to our menu, showcased recipes on Twin Cities Live, and hosted some amazing cooking classes. We can’t wait to see what…
If you are looking for a beautiful healthy, flavorful addition to your Holiday meal, this Winter Panzanella Salad is calling your name. I’ve roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts and then combined toasted french bread croutons with blue cheese, spinach, cranberries and a red wine dijon and maple vinaigrette. All the ingredients compliment each other…
This is mind-blowing bacon. MIND-BLOWING. I initially thought of this as a great starter for a holiday brunch menu at a cooking class I’m conducting. But, after taste-testing it for friends at a dinner party we hosted, I decided this would be delicious for any part of your holiday menu. I even think these would…
My obsession with Everything Bagel Seasoning has yet to subside. It’s one of those ingredients that adds so much flavor with little effort. During the holiday season quick and easy appetizers make everyone jolly–and I hope this cheese ball does just that. Confession–I’ve never made a cheese ball. But we loved it–ate all of it. …

Whether your kids are home from school or you’re having family and friends over, hosting brunch is a sure-fire way to please all tastebuds and appetites. This year, to help you put together a holiday brunch…
