This past weekend was my sister Emily's bridal shower! Her wedding is June 29th, so it will be here before we know it! :) It was a beautiful shower, put on by her future mother in-law & sister in law, who happen to have their own cake decorating business'...So get ready to witness some incredible desserts! ;)

It turned out to be one of the most beautiful days we've had in Michigan so far...(it has been in the 40's almost all of April!) But this past Saturday was 70 degrees and sunny...God sure...

So this may come as a surprise to most of you, but I just returned from a 5 day cruise this past week! I don't like to announce when I am leaving for a trip or out of town for obvious reasons, but I had an awesome time and thought I would share some photos and highlights from my trip now that i'm back home!

This cruise was actually a Christmas present from my amazing in-laws to my husband and I, (well, actually to the whole family...My husband and I, his 2 brothers, and my mother in law. My...

Good Morning Everyone!!! I actually receive a lot of emails about what my daily life is like after taking on Dashing Dish full time, so I thought what better way than to do a Daily Dish on my daily life!

Now, keep in mind, every day is a little bit different...For example, some days I go grocery shopping for DD, some days I spend almost entirely on meal plans, or recipe trials...Or even different 'projects' I'm working on for the future of DD! However, in this is what a typical day is like for...

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I personally made it a point to spend much needed time with family! I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments with all of you!

We kicked off the Christmas season doing one of my favorite things...Making Christmas cookies! We gathered in my mom's kitchen and made Dashing Dish Skinny Sugar Cookies!

They were just as much fun to make as they were to enjoy!

I hosted a gingerbread house party, and served these cookies and a festive veggie tray!...

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday! I personally spent a lot of time with my family which is always my favorite thing in the world! We started off the holiday festivities by decorating for Christmas, which began by decorating my mom and dad's 14 foot tree! :)

Then my sisters, mom and I got in the kitchen and started preparing the food while the guys watched the football game!

This was the first Thanksgiving we spent in my parents new home, which was truly a blessing!

My aunts and...

Hey everyone! I pray you are all doing well and enjoying the fall season so far!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE the fall! Michigan is just beautiful this time of year, with the trees all shades of reds, yellows, and orange! It is also a very busy time of year for me, as there are so many family birthdays and celebrations! But, it's certainly a good kind of busy as these... I'm convinced, are the highlights of life! :)

Here we are celebrating my sister's new fiance's birthday, (yes she just...

Hey everyone! I pray everyone is having a blessed week so far! I am finally feeling 'settled' in after our big move, so I thought I'd share some of the photos of our rental home, and tell you the crazy story behind this move!

I also want to share an awesome opportunity that God brought my way... So, here we go!

Here is a picture of our one bedroom apartment that we have lived in for the past three years! It was hard to say goodbye, as it was our very first place as a married couple, but I knew...

Good Morning! As some of you may already know, Sunday was my 27th birthday! It was a beautiful day...and truly a celebration of such a wonderful year...So I thought I'd share pictures from the weekend with all of you!

My husband, sister, and I started off the celebrations on Saturday by going to plum market where we found Zevia and Artic Zero! Zevia is a soda sweetened with stevia, and Arctic Zero is an amazing protein packed ice cream that has only 150 calories per pint! Both can only be...

Needless to say, I was THRILLED and blessed when I heard she was...

I hope everyone is having an amazing week so far! I just returned from sunny Newport Beach California, which was a sister's trip to celebrate my sister Sarah's 30th birthday! It was such a blessed time that we had together, and I can truly say that there is no greater friend than a sister!

We stayed at my sisters condo for the week, which is right in the heart of Newport California, and it just so happens to be a temporary 'home' for my sister and her husband as they moved out there short-term...
