Ella Jumping on the Bed

I had the grandest of plans for blogging the first week of the year. I had ideas running through my head, cool things to implement and fun stuff up my sleeve. You know what happened though? Life… yep. Good old life. For the first time in ages, I’ve actually felt like a stay at home mom this week and I kind of surprised myself by loving it. I didn’t work. I didn’t blog. I didn’t do any of my freelance work. Instead? We had playdates and shopping fun and art projects and cooking. We vegged out and watched movies, we read books, we truly soaked each other up and enjoyed the days as they unfolded… each new and totally unplanned before us.

I’m not going to feel a bit guilty about it either.

So, instead of a grandious post today, I’m going to share a few things with you that I’ve fallen in love with over the past few weeks.

Photo Journey Screen Shot

First of all, have I introduced you to my new personal photography site, A Photo Journey with Dine & Dish? I am loving this beautiful site, designed by the abundantly talented, Debbie Tortorigi of Lagniappe Marketing. She took this, “I want a place to store my photos for Project 365” and turned it into this incredible site that I absolutely adore. It feeds my passion like nothing else ever has. I hope you’ll become a regular visitor and get a glimpse into my daily life outside of food blogging. You can subscribe to the RSS Feed here or catch regular updates on my Facebook Page, Flickr and Twitter.


Next, I have a newish friend I want to introduce you to. I have a guest post up today over at the blog Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. If you like pee your pants, laugh out loud funny, head on over to read some of Kristan’s posts. She’ll have you spitting your morning coffee out all over your screen. On her site I shared a delicious White Wedding Cake recipe. At the end of this post, you can check out the White Wedding Cake Buttercream Frosting that goes perfectly with it!

Last couple of things… this week I officially began my Happiness Project. Next week, a group of friends and I will get together for our first monthly Happiness Project get together. I can’t wait because reading this book has completely changed the way I look at everyday life. Most of my friends and I have all made the same comment… “I feel like the author has written everything that is in my mind. I could have written this book.” Check out the book and start your own Happiness Project!

If you are looking for a completely inspiring, fun, gorgeous blog to read (non-food), my new favorite is Enjoying the Small Things by Kelle Hampton. She’s been blogging for awhile, has beautiful photography and her outtake on life is inspiring. Hope you’ll hop over and take a look.

Finally, I’ve been admiring the photography of Sadie Olive for such a long time now (and I noticed she took Marla’s family pictures, which turned out gorgeous.) Little did I know that Sadie has an Etsy store with incredible vintage finds. Looking for some food photography props? I bet you’ll have a hard time not finding something you love in her Etsy shop!

Well, that’s it for me. Totally random post, I know, but that’s just how I’m feeling today! Enjoy… oh and thank you for your support of my “nakedness” the other day. It truly is wonderful to have you all cheering me on and some of you are even joining me along the way! Happy day!

    I have really wanted to read The Happiness Project for a while now — she writes for NYT, right? You’ve officially inspired me to put it on my to-read list. Thanks!

    I can totally relate, Kristen. I didn’t blog at all for the last two weeks of December. We just did family stuff and it was actually really nice. I’m surprised that I didn’t miss blogging, but I’m happy to get started again now that the kids are back in school. I guess it’s all about balance and sometimes it is great to take a break from your job, even if it is a job you love.

    Your child must be thankful that you get to have a bonding with her/him. I haven’t experience that since I was young. If I got to have a child one day..I must have time for them. Enjoy each moment and maybe try to make something like this.

    How long is this buttercream good for? And can it be stored in the fridge or should it be left out? Please tell me putting it in the fridge is ok because I put mine in there and then read on a different blog to leave a very similar recipe in an airtight container at room temp!

    Ps – very tasty recipe thanks

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Hi, friend! I Thought I’d just say “hey” and check in and add some pretty flowers to your feed.

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

You know I’m a huge fan of @librofm , the absolute best audiobook alternative that gives money back to the independent bookstore of your choice with your audiobook purchases. Well, to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, they are giving YOU a free audiobook! Here’s what you need to do…

Spend $15 or more at your bookstore between April 24th and 26th. Submit your receipt at libro.fm/ibd and Libro.fm will email you a link to your free audiobook by April 28th! Easy peasy, right?

Wait! There’s more! 🌟 I’d love to give one Dine & Dish follower the chance to win a 3 month @Librofm audiobook membership. To enter, simply tag your favorite independent bookstore here and tell me what you love the most about it! That’s it! Winner will be chosen at random on April 27th. Yay, books!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
