Easy Summer Party Bruschetta

June 8, 2016 / Updated July 1, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Easy, summery colors and mouthwateringly DELICIOUS! That is MY kind of recipe! (Sarah reporting here). I hope we are all headed out to a pool somewhere near - very soon - cause, guess what ya’ll? It is getting HOT out there! I tried this dish out on my  mom’s book club a few weeks ago and EVERYONE loved it - or at least they said they did! (Maybe they were just being nice). Nice or not - you … [Read more...]

Have you ever made something so delicious that you just wanted to smear it on everything? Ummm….. Well, yeah…. That is this. I made a delicious - truly, even if I say so myself, Artichoke Dip for my book club meeting. I smeared it on bread for that meeting and ended up having some … [Read more...]

Crockpot Stroganoff

April 26, 2016 / Updated July 1, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Crockpot Stroganoff @www.loavesanddishes.net

Sometimes you just want a little taste of home. Where is that exactly? For me, it is more of a time than a place. Home is back in the 1970’s where my days always ended having accomplished at least a few of the following:  a scraped knee, a scraped elbow, a bicycle ride, the sweaty grass smell only kids can get, dirt stains on my clothes and playing with a neighboring dog or cat. These would … [Read more...]

How to clean the microwave without chemicals

April 19, 2016 / Updated May 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

How to Clean the Microwave Without Chemicals

I would never want anyone here to mistake me for a clean freak simply because I am sharing how to clean the microwave without chemicals, because, you would be WRONG. I do, occasionally, (clears throat) have mood swings (hello intermittent OCD) where everything in my house looks terribly dirty  and I feel the need to CLEAN IT ALL! … [Read more...]

We have a lot to do and we don’t have time to be hanging out in the kitchen all day! It IS spring after all - even though some of us saw some OF THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE NAMED this weekend. When Sweet hubby, Mr. Loaves and Dishes saw the solid form rain, he said, “Hey … [Read more...]

Pork Pepper Kabobs

Pork Pepper Kabobs @www.loavesanddishes.net

This is a sponsored post by Collective Bias for Smithfield Pork. I'm going to admit it, right here, right now. Lately, I’ve been TIRED! I have been working hard and not feeling like cooking dinner. Yet, when I roll in the door, I really would like to have something tasty for dinner! I have a feeling that you might know exactly what I am talking about! It’s probably verging on too much … [Read more...]
