Wishes and Dishes

Did everyone have a great weekend?  I had a really nice one.  Friday I got a job of baby-sitting for my 16-month-old adopted “niece”, Elliana, all day and night while my friends/her parents went to Niagara Falls for a special dinner with their relatives.  I absolutely adore (translation= borderline obsessed with) her so, needless to [...]

I hope everyone had a great Easter!  What did you do? Ours was really nice.  We had brunch at my in-laws house which included amazing homemade Belgium waffles with fruit topping, baked french toast, and basically every other breakfast or lunch food you could possibly imagine.  It was quite the feast.  We had an Easter [...]

I hope everyone had a good week.  Here in Rochester, we are back to the snow, snow, and more snow…. and the cold.  We had a short span of weather in the 40′s, so that was nice.  I always get really anxious for Spring about this time during the winter.  On the plus side, the [...]

Bust out the crock pot people! I’m off gallivanting in beautiful, sunny southern Florida with Mr. Wishes this week because he is here for work and I’m writing this blog post just to rub it in all your faces.  No, I’m nicer than that.  I have actually cooked up some goodies in the Wishes and Dishes kitchen last week to keep you [...]

Slow cooking, lovely smelling, super tender, sandwich goodness. I love my crock pot and find it absolutely irresistible.  There is nothing I love more than dumping a few  ingredients into the pot, turning it on and coming home a few hours  later with dinner waiting for me. I’m becoming quite the fan of pulled pork [...]

Well, it’s a new year and it’s my first post of the year because I have been somewhat of a slacker.  I don’t even have an excuse as to why. Raise your hand if you are pretty sure you have gone up a solid dress  size over the holidays but are too scared to get [...]
