Garlic Lovin’ Salmon
Everywhere I go these days, it seems like I run into people who are trying to find balance in their lives. I am among those searching for the perfect balance between home/work/family/fun. I have to say, I’m not doing such a great job of it lately. Work seems to be taking on a life of…
I Swear
Pie Crusts… some cooks swear that lard is the secret key ingredient. Others swear that the secret ingredient that makes their pie crust outstanding is Vodka. Me? I just swear… not just a little swearing. A big bunch of drunken sailor swear words come out of my mouth each and every time I make…
Spring Teaser
One of the most annoying/challenging/predictable parts of living in the state of Kansas is the weather. People always say “If you don’t like the weather in Kansas… just wait!” It is so predictably unpredictable. One day this week we had temperatures in the 70’s. It was so lovely. Our entire neighborhood was out playing,…
Spinach Artichoke-Stuffed Mushrooms

Colorado Chocolate Pieces
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…
The Ultimate Steak Sandwich
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…
Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
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…
