Kristen — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 16:07:39 +0000

Mom’s Best Angel Food Cake recipe is what my mom has used for birthday cakes through the years. Nothing beats this light and fluffy angel food cake!

This story and the recipe was originally posted on March 23, 2012. Images and some text were updated on October 6, 2021. The delicious angel food cake recipe remains the same!

I know that bragging isn’t always flattering, but I’m throwing all of that out the window today and am going to spend this post bragging about my husband.

I married a really good guy and am very lucky. Sure there are times we don’t get along and when I can’t wait for him to leave on his next business trip, but for the most part, I am happily married to a great man….

Cake Mix Cookie Bars with Cream Cheese

Kristen — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 01:50:00 +0000

These Cake Mix Bar Cookies have a gooey layer of powdered sugar and cream cheese mixture, making this great recipe a delicious, easy dessert for any occasion!

I go in phases where I tend to bake the same thing over and over. Most recently, I was on a jello poke cake kick, resulting in the purchase of lots of box cake mixes and jello of different flavors. I really love poke cakes, but I had purchased a bunch of Betty Crocker white cake mix, yellow cake mix, and strawberry cake mix on sale and lost my interest in poke cake before I ran out of cake mix. Story of my life!

In addition to all the cake mix, I had a significant amount of jello on hand as well. I like having boxed ingredients like that on hand to make simple dessert recipes, but when I say I had bought a ton, I’m not exaggerating….

Chocolate Sheet Cake with Fluffy Chocolate Frosting

A delicious and easy chocolate sheet cake recipe with fluffy chocolate frosting!

Dear friends, I’ve been needing to write, wondering how you all are doing and holding up during this crazy time in history. We are currently at 1 month of “shelter in place” and my kids have been amazing. I, on the other hand, had my first meltdown about all of this a few days ago. Once I read where what we are all collectively going through is actually grief, it made a lot more sense. I’ve talked a lot on Dine & Dish about the grief of losing my brother and now I can totally recognize this time as being very similar. …

Caramel Cashew Fudge is an easy fudge recipe that’s rich, decadent and delicious! Made with butter, milk chocolate, marshmallow creme and evaporated milk, this homemade fudge recipe is one you’ll make year after year!

Yesterday, my friend Jenny invited me over for her huge annual fudge making day! Jenny has been doing this tradition with friends for the past 9 years and I was honored to take part in it. She had fudge making day planned out to perfection.

I’ve made a few simple fudge recipes before but not since I was a kid, so my part in all of this was to do whatever was asked of me and to take pictures! That’s definitely something I could easily do. …

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Kristen — Sat, 26 Oct 2019 02:12:08 +0000

This Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie can be put together and ready to dig into in less than 30 minutes. Warm from the oven and extra good topped with ice cream, this is one dessert recipe you’ll always want to have on hand!

For years, I’ve resisted making the ever so popular Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie. I really don’t know why I waited. Now I’m kicking myself that this simple dessert didn’t make it into my life sooner.

Thanks to The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook by Mary Yonkin, I am now a skillet cookie fan. I’ve made the recipe from her cookbook 4 times in the past month, each time changing up the flavor of chocolate chips based on what ingredients I have in my pantry. Everyone I’ve served this dessert to has raved and it’s been gobbled up in minutes. …

From Scratch Orange Juice Cake Recipe

Kristen — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 03:58:04 +0000

This Orange Juice Cake is bursting with citrus flavor in every bite! This quick and easy recipe can be prepared in 20 minutes. Then it’s baked for an hour in the oven, filling your home with a warm citrus aroma.

Every winter when the weather turns frigid, I start craving citrus. You would think these cravings would arrive in the summer months, but no. There’s something about cold weather that makes me crave what I call “sunshine food”. You know, those citrus foods that taste like bursts of sunshine in every bite? This Orange Juice Cake is the perfect “Sunshine Food” example. Made with orange juice and orange zest, the citrus flavor is perfectly intense….

Dear Friend, A Graduation Celebration

Kristen — Mon, 28 May 2018 22:08:37 +0000

Dear friend,

Hello and happy Memorial Day! We just returned home from spending the weekend in Iowa celebrating our niece Allison’s high school graduation. In Iowa, they do HUGE parties for high school graduation. It wasn’t that way in Southeast Kansas where I grew up and I don’t think it’s this way here in Kansas City, but in Iowa it’s a grand event.

My sister-in-law planned a wonderful party and it was the best way to kick off summer. There was lots of great food, fun outdoor lawn games, kitten cuddling, and catching up with friends and family. It was hotter than normal but it was a great event. …

Dear Friend, Leah Turned 9 (Sheet Pan Fruit Pizza)

Kristen — Thu, 24 May 2018 02:56:09 +0000

Dear friend,

We celebrated a birthday last week. Leah, our youngest, turned 9! Ella was just a few months old when I started Dine & Dish, but Leah wasn’t even born. Many of you were there when we found out I was pregnant with a girl, she was born and I made this cute video, and all the other milestones since then. It’s weird to think Dine & Dish is older than my youngest baby, and by quite a few years! It’s been such an honor to have you watch my little family grow up….
