Hi all! Just a little housekeeping post this morning. I recently found out that with some recent blog changes, I accidentally messed up my RSS subscriber feed and unintentionally dropped most of my subscribers. This means, if you subscribe to Dine & Dish via RSS feed like Google Reader, it’s possible you haven’t been getting…

Saying Goodbye to a Favorite
I’m sitting here in tears that won’t stop this morning, grieving the loss of a friend I never met. Meet Louise… a long time Dine & Dish blog reader and commenter. I found out this morning through a Google search that Louise recently passed away in her home, at the sprite age of 90. Louise…

Stop and Snap the Roses
Tuesday morning was hectic. I had 6 kids here (4 mine and 2 a friends) to get out the door to school on time. I had the Green Mountain Coffee virtual coffee tasting early in the morning as the kids were getting ready. I needed to drop my 2 year old at a friends house…
Happy November – Looking Back and Looking Ahead

Strut Your Stuff – July Favorites – Blog Posts, Photos & More!
The months have been flying by and it seems to be leaving me with less and less time to do one of the things I love… which is to look through the blogs and photos of others and check out all of the awesome work out there. I usually do this on my Facebook page,…
Why You Shouldn’t Schedule Your Blog Post Tweets
Picture the scene… it is late in the night on May 1st, 2011. You and a group of friends are sitting around, watching groundbreaking news unfold. Osama Bin Laden has been killed. It is a historic moment, most likely not to be forgotten during your lifetime. Deep in conversation, you are all expressing your…
Seeing Clearly (Recipe: Cast Iron Skillet Potatoes)
Last night, I returned from a long weekend in San Francisco where I had attended the BlogHer 2010 Food Conference. I was overly exhausted, but perked up the second I saw my husband and four kids peeking through the airport gate, waving enthusiastically at me. I walked closer and when I was close enough I…
Mythical Balance (Recipe: Just Like Lambert’s Thrown Rolls)
If it hasn’t been clear by my lack of posts lately, I seem to be having a very difficult time with balance. People say “don’t worry about it, Kristen… you’ll find your “me” time again”. Or, “why worry about blogging?” is something I often get from non-bloggers…people who don’t understand the therapeutic nature of getting…
