Hey there, DinnerCakes readers! It’s been about two months since our last theme week (Rainbow Week), and Chef Edwin and I thought it was time for another! I know people always say things like “I can’t believe it’s July already,” but seriously, I can’t believe we’re in the middle of summer! Because I was raised [...]
Hope you have a very happy and safe fourth of July full of cook-outs, cold ones and fireworks! Here are some photos of the last really great fireworks display I saw – two years ago at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom (Morgan and I were on our “Engagement Moon,” i.e. newly engaged). Enjoy your day, DC [...]
Today is an exciting day at DinnerCakes because we get to celebrate! Not only is it our last work day before the start of a long holiday weekend, it’s also our 200th post! (Insert blaring trumpets here!) A lot has changed around here since Edwin and I first started documenting our culinary adventures, making messes [...]
We hope you all enjoyed Rainbow Week! It was a lot of fun for us to do. If you have suggestions about other themes you’d like to see, please let us know! And now a confession – this is my new favorite dinner recipe. I can’t believe that there was actually was a time when [...]

But check out this awesome description from the label: “Pumking is an ode to Púca, a creature of Celtic folklore, who is [...]
While on my vacation, abandoning my flexitarian ways (when you’re eating meat every meal, that label doesn’t realy work), I had some stellar dining in Sedona. The ribs were great but the highlight was the cactus fries. It was definitely a new experience!
Hey gang! Thanks for all the great comments in our dog food discussion from Tuesday. Here are the collected links that were shared in case you missed it – a lot of good information was exchanged both here and on Facebook: Consumer Search – Best Dry Foods Dog Food Analysis How to Read a Dog [...]
It occured to be a few days after posting my last Kitchen Tips that chocolate would have been a great topic to go with the easter theme. Alas, hindsight. Today we’ll talk a little about chocolate and the ways to classify it. Below are some of the most common types of chocolate. Milk Chocolate is [...]
I started a new project at work this week and the change of pace has really been nice. In an attempt to hit the ground running and ramp up quickly I’ve been spending extra hours at the client site; which unfortunately leaves me a bit drained in the evenings. I’ve been without soup for lunch [...]
