School starts in two weeks from today. Jacob is so ready to go back to school and is it bad if I say that I am really ready for him to go back to school? Kelly will be in school all day (last year it was just half day Kindergarten) and I’m really not ready…

The Prepared Mama (Recipe – Turkey Black Bean Burgers)
The other day, I was sitting in a room full of moms, when a lady came in with a screaming toddler. He had cut his big toe something awful and needed a band-aid. In that room full of moms, I was able to open my purse and pull out a first aid kit with band-aids….
Sequence of Events (Recipe: Paula Deen’s Cookies & Cream Cupcakes)
Paula Deen and I appear to have something in common. We both believe that if you are going to make dessert, you might as well just go all out. Bring out the butter, pour on the sugar… none of this Splenda and light this and that business. Everyday cooking, you need to lighten up, but…
Babies, BlogHer and Banana Bars (Recipe: Frosted Banana Bars)
Leah Meets Paula Deen BlogHer 2009 from Kristen Doyle on Vimeo. The video above is of Paula Deen chatting with Leah during her appearance at BlogHer.

Boredom (Recipe: Southwest Black Bean and Corn Dip)
Boredom… one of the many things that kids complain about during the summer months. When I was growing up, I said the words “Mom, this is boring” so often that my mom threatened to ground me for life if I said it again. Being the clever kid I was, I got out the Thesaurus and…

Valentine’s Day – Mommy Style (Strawberry Shortcake Trifle)
Dr Laura Schlessinger wrote something in her book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands that really made me step back and think about the pressure I was putting on my husband to really do something outstanding this one day a year. She said that a lot of the phone calls into her show were…
Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip is a different spin on a traditional recipe thanks to Monterey Jack Cheese. I have always been one of those people who blends in pretty easily. I don’t stand out in a crowd with my looks or personality. In high school, I wasn’t one of the most popular people, but…
Blogging Friends – A Giveaway for You!
I started the Dine & Dish blog in November 2006. Back in my beginning blogging days, I was a very eager, typical new blogger. I cooked and posted on my blog almost every single day. I spent hours reading through blogs and learning the ropes, so to speak. I spent a lot of time networking…
