Kate goes on an adventure to a bomb shelter
I spent this past Saturday in the middle of nowhere, traipsing through knee high weeds in the wide open fields of Clyde, Idaho. I am not joking when I say Clyde is smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Here are shots of all four directions at the exact spot my GPS lady (with her sophisticated English accent) told me I was “arriving at destination”, Clyde, Idaho.. I thought it was so funny I just … Read entire article »

Kate’s Recipe of the week – Cake Ball Pops
This week’s recipe is one of my all-time favorites – Cake Ball Pops. They’re little balls of cake mixed with frosting and covered with chocolate and sprinkles. What’s not to love?! They’re kind of like cake, kind of like candy, and super decadent and delicious. Sure, making Cake Ball Pops will take a tad bit longer than the typical recipes I feature, but take my word for it, they are worth the extra effort! Ingredients: Cake mix Tub … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure to the Demolition Derby!
Well, I did it again! I got my white trash fix for the year at the annual county fair demolition derby this past weekend. Really, can you think of any single event that is more white-trashy than watching spray painted clunker cars smash each other to smithereens? Nope, I didn’t think you could. And before you get all up in arms here at my use of the term “white trash”, let me assure I mean … Read entire article »

Kate goes on an adventure –
Guy Fieri style (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives)
I confess to being a fan of the Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. Really, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned, high-fat, carb-laden meal from a hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon diner once in a while? A few months ago while on our family vacation, we took a day off from Disneyland to slow down with a relaxing trip to Ventura, California. When lunchtime came, much to my family’s chagrin I steered them past … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Quirky Observations
I’ve just returned home from a wonderful two weeks at Liz’s house. We did plenty of playing around, but also squeezed in some concentrated effort on a cookbook we are making, In the Kitchen with Liz and Kate: Practically Painless Recipes. (FYI…We’ll be taking pre-orders within a week or two, and they will be available for Christmas.) While there I couldn’t help but notice some quaint and quirky observations about the differences between my current state … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Not now! I’m burying a young girl.
I have survived yet another family vacation. My family (minus one kid, but plus 2 friends – for a grand total of 10 people) spent a glorious week in southern California. We had a blast spending 3 days at Disneyland, 2 days at the beach, and we even spent a day enlightening our minds at the Getty Museum. One of the highlights of every family vacation is adding to our family quote book. Perhaps this is … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – “On the news, a family dies”
“On the news, a family dies…” That is an actual quote from my then 7-year-old son during a vacation in Arizona. It’s one of my favorite quotes from my family’s vacation quote book. Yep, we actually collect random and ridiculous vacation quotes taken completely out of context, just because we say so many dumb things while traveling together. Reading through them helps us remember fun times and makes us laugh at ourselves. Here’s the story of … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Do you believe in the Vacation Fairy?
Okay guys (and by guys, I don’t mean people in general, I actually mean guys, as in the gender laden with testosterone) this post is basically meant for you.
