Sometimes as food bloggers, we try so hard to do something original or out of the ordinary with our recipes that the plain recipes… the classic recipes… get overlooked. As much as I love a touch of special, I also have to admit that some of the most basic and simple recipes are my favorite….

Salad Dressing Your Way (Recipe: Poppy Seed Salad Dressing)
We have salad almost every night with our dinner. Nothing fancy… I typically just put out the tub of organic mixed greens from Sam’s Club and the family dishes from that. My kids love salad, so if all else fails and they don’t want to eat whatever it is we are having for dinner, I…
Share Our Strength Progressive Dinner (Recipe: Potato Rolls)
It is frigid outside. The kind of frigid where you just want to curl up in your favorite fluffy slipper socks and PJ’s, the biggest blanket you can find and hibernate for the day, getting lost in a good book. Add to that putting on a pot of my favorite comfort food on the stove…
Recipe: Simple Weeknight Ground Beef Chili
A simple ground beef chili recipe that is full of wonderful tomato flavor! It is no newsflash to Dine & Dish readers that I’m a little perturbed that I still live in Kansas. I always thought I would be out of this state at some point, but 37 years later, I am still about…

The other day, my girlfriends and I were sitting around, comparing December calendars trying to figure out a good time we could celebrate the holidays together. As each of us dissected our individual calendars and started sharing dates we had available, it became very clear that December was a crazy busy month for all of…
Traditions? What Traditions? {Recipe: Baked Sweet Potato Fries}
Thanksgiving was really quiet at our house this year. We typically have a group of neighbors over who do not have family nearby and we all enjoy a loud, raucous, delicious Thanksgiving together. This year, however, everyone was heading out of town which left us to a house with, well… just us. I was a…
Happy Thanksgiving {Recipe: Peppermint Hot Chocolate}
I just wanted to take a moment today to wish you, my friends and family, a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

A Thankful Belly {Recipe: Mom’s Spaghetti and Meatballs}
