As a follow up to my "Life is Short… Have Fun" post, I had to post pictures of us having fun! This is Kelly, thouroughly enjoying eating her cake with no hands. I hope everyone is remembering to have fun!
Life is Short – Have Fun!
One of the most popular recipes on my site is a recipe I posted "way back when". Back when I was a newbie blogger, I posted a recipe for Oooey Gooey Monkey Bread. In that post, I encouraged people to get messy with their kids. Allow them to use their hands to eat and [...]
The Art of Procrastination
I am not a procrastinator on all things, but there are some things that I procrastinate with until the last minute. Writing my freelance articles is one. It seems like my best written articles come to me when I have waited until the very last minute to write them. I do my best work [...]
Dine and Whine
You all are probably starting to think that I should change my blog name to Dine and Whine instead of Dine and Dish, aren’t you? Have I been crabby the past couple of posts or what? Sorry to bring you all down, but thank you for pulling me back up. The comments on my [...]
Circumstances
I am a person bounded to my life by circumstances. I was born and raised in a small Kansas town. Altamont, KS was a town of 1,000 people and it really was a great place to grow up. It is the kind of place where, as a kid, we could walk the streets past [...]
Rachael Ray 365 No Repeats
Have you ever purchased a cookbook that you absolutely had to have right that very minute? Nothing at all could sway you from not buying it. I do that with cooking magazines all the time, but rarely is it that a cookbook catches my attention so much that I buy it immediately without running home [...]
I Forgot to Make the Doughnuts!
Dates sneak up on me these days. Is it because time is just flying by too fast or is it that I have really become that unorganized? Either way, I think I’ll lean towards the first excuse. Life is zooming by at lightening speed! Two of my favorite food bloggers, Peabody and Tartlette are [...]
A Chocolate Dipping Adventure
I was contacted by Hotel Chocolat a couple of weeks ago asking if I would be interested in reviewing one of their chocolate products. (Again, new bloggers…one more reason to have a place for your readers to contact you on your blog!) You may have remembered a post last week telling you how one of [...]
The Fertilizer of Life
Vote for me in the Death by Chocolate contest I had the opportunity to go to a half day retreat at our church this past weekend. Sister Charlotte White was the retreat leader and the retreat was entitled "Stardust and Pig Wallows." This retreat came at such a good time for me. I [...]
A Cup of Comfort
Don’t forget to head over to Hotel Chocolat to enter to win a selection of chocolate from their luxury collection. One of my readers is guaranteed to win! Enter to win by going HERE. The other day, I made no secret of the fact that winter depresses me. I have never understood how people in [...]
