The Wishful Dish is always on Mondays at 5pm, so if it's frozen, it will get there by Friday (and that means Father's Day!).
My Friday Night Meal also makes a great Father's Day gift. Who doesn't like steakburgers from Kansas City Steak Company?

I think the number one food for the grill has to be the burger. But how do we take a burger from average to amazing?
First, we skip the hamburger, and go right the steakburger. Kansas City Steak Company makes the tastiest burgers in the biz and because they are made from steak trimmings, they are more juicy and flavorful than you can imagine. So, by themselves, they are delicious, but if you really want to kick it up a notch, add a condiment. Now I don't mean ketchup or mustard, but a...

You get 5 pounds of rib racks, and 2 full pounds of pulled pork. That's a lot of barbecue!

One of them is from Graham and Rollins. A family business that has been around for decades, providing incredibly fresh crab cakes to the masses.

In one of my recent blogs, I mentioned a white chocolate bread pudding that I make for Christmas Day. Some of you asked me to share it, so here it is. The crowning touch is the white chocolate sauce, which adds to the decadence (I use Ghirardelli chocolate). I bake and serve the pudding in either a Temp-tations® two-quart square baker or Rachael Ray’s Bubble & Brown Ramekins.
I prepare both the pudding and sauce earlier in the day. Then, when the turkey comes out of the oven, I pop the pudding in to warm it up and I reheat the sauce on the stove. You can ...

You can never have too many cookbooks, and believe me, I have a lot.
Everything from vintage 1940s and 1950s to Rachael Ray’s latest My Year in Meals (F11004). That’s why I was so excited about David Venable’s new cookbook In the Kitchen with David: Comfort Foods That Take You Home (F09693), inspired by his love of comfort foods.

Inspired by David Venable’s love of comfort foods and his new cook book In the Kitchen with David: Comfort Foods That Take You Home, I decided to share one of my favorite comfort foods with you: spaghetti and meatballs.
I make this year round, but when I prepare it in the fall and winter, it reminds me of when I was young and my mother made it. The closed kitchen windows would steam up as she boiled the pasta, and I would draw pictures in the condensation. Then, while the sauce was simmering on the stove and Mom wasn’t looking, I’d snitch a piece of sandwich bread...

The swappable solution? Spaghetti Squash! This vegetable has just 42 calories per cup and 10 carbohydrates. It’s good on the lips and hips!

His idea of pot pie and mine are not the same. He grew up in central Pennsylvania, where pot pie is more like a stew/soup. No top pastry, no creamy sauce inside…instead the recipe calls for square noodles (which are called pot pie) chicken and for some reason a hardboiled egg.

My friend Valerie Parr Hill has a good suggestion for decorating (which she shared in the November InsideQ): “Spread it over a few weeks; that way it’s less daunting and you have more time to enjoy your decorations before they have to come down again.” This is a great idea for taking the decorations down as well.
