Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #27

Lolli — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 11:00:33 +0000

Welcome to the New and Improved Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!

We took a short break last week to make a few changes, and now we’re back and better than ever! I’m excited to introduce a few brand new hosts that are joining the party this week.

Delicious Dishes is a weekly link party where bloggers can share their most delicious recipes all while checking out the amazing recipes that other bloggers are sharing. Each week we will be featuring our favorite recipes from the week before and pinning them to our Delicious Dishes Pinterest board. We hope you’ll have fun with our party…we know we will!

Since we don’t have any featured recipes this week (since we took a break last week), I’ve got a featured recipe of my own for Easy Thai Peanut Curry Chicken, in case you haven’t seen it already. You are going to LOVE this one-skillet dinner that takes about 30 minutes to make. My family loved it! Click the image below for the recipe!

Delicious Dishes – Summer Recipe Special Edition

Lolli — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 11:00:15 +0000

Hi guys!

Last night’s fireworks were cancelled because of weather (sad!) but we’re making up for the lack of holiday excitement today and spending the next two days at Hersheypark. But before I head out for a quick family vacation, I wanted to share a quick announcement and a few amazing summer recipes that caught my eye from last week’s Delicious Dishes Recipe Party.

Special announcement: There will not be a link up this week, as we take a break for the holiday and as we prepare for some fun and exciting changes next week! Starting July 12, we’ll be welcoming a few new hosts to our weekly party! The party will be the same great recipe content that you love each Tuesday morning, just with a mixture of old and new faces….and a few new graphics to go with them! I hope to see you back here next week to check out everything that’s new and exciting at the Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #25

Lolli — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 11:00:24 +0000

Yesterday was not only the official start of summer, but the official start of OUR summer vacation! It felt like it would never get here!

Summer means lots of late afternoons and evenings at the pool and hurried dinners. I wish we could eat cold salads from our home-grown garden veggies and sip flavored lemonades all summer. Instead, I’ll drool over the latest recipes linked up to our Delicious Dishes recipe party.

And now, it’s time for this week’s Delicious Dishes link up!

Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #24

Lolli — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:00:23 +0000

I’m blaming my utter exhaustion on the kids’ last week of school. Do you feel worn out by the end of the school year like I do? We keep a pretty busy schedule during the summer, but regardless of how much we have going on, one thing is significantly different about the summer….I have a couple of months where I don’t have to wake up before 6am!

It’s the little things…

And now, it’s time for this week’s Delicious Dishes recipe party!

Each week we will be featuring our favorite recipes from the week before and pinning them to our Delicious Dishes Pinterest board.

We hope you’ll have fun with our party…we know we will!

My Sister’s Wedding #PSF

Lolli — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 02:14:52 +0000

This past weekend, I met my parents and all 4 of my siblings in Chicago for my sister’s wedding.

It was a busy weekend, but one that I will remember and treasure for years. It has been too long since all 5 of the siblings were together at the same time (we usually meet up in smaller groups) and there’s something special about getting the “original 5” together. As much as we love ALL of the in-laws (all of us are married now), there’s a special bond that the 5 of us share.

My “little” sister, Amanda, was 9 when I got married. It’s incredible to see her all grown up. She may have grown a little since way back when before I was married, but that smile she has when she is happy…that’s the same smile and the same Amanda that I have always known and loved.

We adore her new wife, too. Stephanie is a wonderful (and gorgeous!!) addition to the family.

I took most of these photos on my cell phone, and I never did catch a group picture of the family together at the wedding, but I did capture this priceless, never-happened-before shot of all of us dancing together. I even caught some video…but that one’s staying private.

What have you been up to this week? Now it’s time for YOU to show me your best shots from this past week. Link up below and have a fantastic weekend!

Polaroids and Baby Cheeks #PSF

Lolli — Fri, 19 Jun 2015 03:51:44 +0000

2005.

That’s the last time all 5 of my siblings were together at the same time.

And now we’re adding another sister. We kinda love her.

More details to come (with touristy fun in Chicago and lots of wedding photos!).

Sorry for the short post! I’m holding a cute, chubby baby boy right now (my nephew) and desperately need to get some sleep before my job as a tourist starts bright and early tomorrow.

It’s time for you to show off your favorite photos from this past week. What have you been up to?

Snow…And More Snow! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Lolli — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 05:01:09 +0000

I have a confession. I got home from my youngest son’s Blue and Gold banquet about 2 1/2 hours ago, and the goal was to come straight up to my computer to get this post ready. But I have become completely distracted by a photo of a dress that most of you have probably seen by now. My daughter showed me the dress tonight at the Blue and Gold Banquet. She asked me what colors I saw.

Blue and faded black, I said.

She ran away, with a crazy look on her face and no explanation for me. She proceeded to ask EVERYONE what colors they saw. White and Gold. I kept hearing it. I was convinced that all of these people were trying to trick me, that there was some weird conspiracy to get those of us not in on the joke to change our minds about what we saw.

I could not be convinced, and I still can’t be convinced. As many times as I’ve seen the photo, and as many times as I’ve tried to squint and cross my eyes to see a different effect, the result is the same for me.

The dress is unmistakably blue and black. (By the way, the real dress IS, in fact, blue and black, in case anyone is wondering). I don’t understand it. I don’t know why this has caused such a controversy on and offline tonight. But it’s time to move on, don’t you think?

This week brought us LOTS of snow. And more snow. My youngest, AJ, was thrilled for our big storm on Saturday and used the opportunity to build an amazing snow cave behind our house. His big brother, T, built a mountain of snow just a short distance away. They were cold, wet….and happy. I stayed inside and baked and made soaps and lotions.

All photos were taken with my Nokia Lumia 830 Windows Phone, which I am currently reviewing (the pics are not edited!). I got the phone for free, and each week I’m doing different challenges on Twitter. Follow the hashtag #LumiaSwitch to see the conversation.

24 Scrumptious Pumpkin Recipes for Fall Baking

Lolli — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 02:48:23 +0000

One of the best things about the Fall is PUMPKINS. I love cooking with pumpkin, and there literally is not enough time to bake all of the pumpkin recipes that I would like to try (and try again). I figured that the next best thing to making all of the recipes I’ve found was to round them all up in a post. Here are 24 of the pumpkin treats that I found online.

For even more, check out my Pumpkin Pinterest board, and then link up to your favorite Pumpkin recipes (from your site, Pinterest, or friends’).

Happy baking!
