Wishes and Dishes

A cookie recipe two days in a row you ask?! Why yes I did, and it’s only because I love you all so much And also because I have hardly posted any desserts lately and I am trying to make up for lost time.  Oh, and I believe every day should involve cookies, don’t you […]

How was everyone’s weekend?  We had a wonderful weekend of hanging out with friends, visiting with my brother and sister-in-law who were here from Syracuse, seeing a minor league baseball game (hooray for my first baseball game of the summer!) and Mr. Wishes ran in his first Tough Mudder endurance race with some of his […]

 My fondness for sweets is well-documented on this blog, so I know a recipe that’s both sweet and adventurous is very much overdue.  After all, it’s been way too long since I’ve posted something sinful and I’m finally delivering!  Mr. Wishes is partipating in his first Tough Mudder race this coming Sunday and I have joined […]

Nothing says summertime quite like cherry cobbler. This is our first summer in our new house and we’ve been working a lot in our yard on the weekends.  About a month ago while we were out there, much to our surprise, Mr. Wishes and I learned that we had fruit trees right in our backyard.  […]

Did you all have a nice weekend?  We had a lot of fun kayaking with our friends Friday night and finished it off with a surprise birthday party for our friend, Cheryl.  Saturday was spent working in the yard from the moment we woke up until 8 o’clock at night before heading out to dinner […]
