What a week this has been.  It started last weekend with a Food Blogging Conference at Disney World.  My hubby and daughter got to come with me.  Oh what fun!  My daughter discovered a love of roller coasters and finally, fireworks.  She has been afraid of fireworks up til now.  I got to meet so many fantastic food bloggers and got some new ideas for the blog.  One of which was to start to make videos.  I’m going to try out this new skill right now.  Here goes: Continue reading →

Happy Thursdays Treasures!

Time is  flying by.  My daughter finished her last day of kindergarten today.  It is so hard to believe.  While I am excited about having her off for the summer and all the fun we can have, I’m trying to figure out how to get work done at the same time.  It’s going to be interesting.  Luckily in the summer, light and easy food prevails.  That is already what is going on with Food Done Light.  This week was Greek Layer Cheese Dip, Mango Guanabana Smoothies and Grilled Andouille Pizza with Arugula Salad.
