Gardening

In my recent spare time, I've been getting geared up to do some gardening.... Dorese style!

No bending over, back-breaking for me.  I've got a plan and so far it's working out wonderfully.

NEW BLOG!

In case you've missed the transition, go check out my new and improved (and actually posted to) blog: Dorese's Pieces!

Thank you, thank you. I know, I know. I came up with the name (nearly) all by myself.
Hey Mom and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Thanks for your help with the name!

I exported this blog and had it redirecting to DP, but I haven't yet figured out how to forward the feeds, so I opened The Cornelisons back up again as its own blog . When my friend Erin changed her blog name and url, it was seamless and my feed to her blog changed right along with it. I don't know how to change mine though!

Do you have any ideas for how to do it? Thanks in advance for your help!

And for those of you who hadn't noticed the change in things with my blog, go check out Dorese's Pieces and let me know what you think!

Let's play a game: day 3

Today, let's meet Melanie, Amy, Brittany, Erin, and Mindy - five ordinary women who happen to be sisters, otherwise known as the Sisters Cafe.

I discovered this treat of a blog last year when a friend posted a recipe linking back to them. I spent subsequent days clicking "older posts" at the bottom of every page until I had viewed most of their posted recipes and printed off so many of them that they now have their own binder on my cookbook shelf. I love the recipes they choose to share, the pictures they take, the format their recipes are posted in. I love their devotion to each other and their families, and especially to their mother. And I love every recipe I've tried. Here are just a few to get your mouth watering!


Barbeque Chicken Pizza :

Homemade Chicken Stock:

And a personal favorite: their grandmother's cinnamon rolls. Let me just say that I've tried MANY cinnamon roll recipes and not really loved any of them. Then I had an assignment to take a pan of them to a function, so I did what any desparate woman would do: tried a brand new recipe and prayed they would turn out. And they were DELICIOUS! The best cinnamon rolls I've ever tasted! Try them out this weekend and tell me what you think!

"Perfectly Wonderful" Cinnamon Rolls:

Go take a look at this little gem of a blog and report back! Do you like the looks of things over there? Do the recipes fit your style and the needs of your family?

Issue

I've been contacted by a few people who have tried to leave comments over the last few days and haven't had any luck. I noticed something in my settings which I hope has fixed this issue, but I can't be sure. Will you please try it out? If it works, I'll see that it has, and if not, please email me at dorese {at} gmail {dot} com.

Thanks!
