LoveBombing Homemade Blueberry Pies

By Kristin on February 25, 2013 2 Comments

Recently we were given pints and pints of blueberries. There were so many blueberries! We gave many boxes away but even then, were left with many more boxes. Teapot wanted to help me make blueberry pie. A few months ago I had picked up small, disposable pie tins. I said, "Let's make mini pies and LoveBomb* our neighbors!" She was all over it! She got out the aprons, put one on Little Man and we all got to work. We made a mess, but we had so much fun! *LoveBombing is an act of preparing and serving a meal or a … [Read more...]

Smashed Grilled Potato Recipe & a LoveBomb

By Kristin on June 27, 2012 5 Comments

No, that's not a typo. It's meant to say Smashed not Mashed. There are some meals where the culinary stars line up and ingredients meld together to deliver a feast that's a gift to the giver as well as the recipient. This past weekend, Devon cooked up a meal that was too good to keep to ourselves. I haven't LoveBombed in a while. Life has been too crazy. But, this weekend, I was reminded how important it is to take time out to share a meal and a moment with someone. Devon cooked up amazing Espresso Romano Filet … [Read more...]

Operation #LoveBomb

By Kristin on August 25, 2011 3 Comments

Yesterday I mentioned that I was LoveBombed by Wendi of Bon Appetit Hon. Well, it turns out, I was the first of many. Last week on facebook and twitter there were messages popping up all over from people who had received a LoveBomb from Wendi. We invited Wendi to our table today to share the inspiration behind her Operation #LoveBomb. Operation Love Bomb would never have happened if it weren’t for Kristin and Chris Ann. The Love Feast ladies introduced me to the concept of LoveBombs with their posts about reaching … [Read more...]

I Got LoveBombed

By Kristin on August 24, 2011 8 Comments

LoveBomb: The act of preparing, serving and sharing a meal or morsel with someone. We've been intentionally LoveBombing people for three years now. It started with a bunch of skaters at a self made skate park called Ridge. A group of us would show up with a grill, burgers and mountain dew and make them food. As they ate, we'd listen to them, ask about skating, their lives...listen some more. Then we'd go home. It was nothing more than a LoveBomb, an act of kindness, no strings attached, no agenda, other than to spend … [Read more...]

Tablescaping for a Skater Brother

By Kristin on March 23, 2011 9 Comments

Last fall we took a him in. He's a good kid who had too many curve balls thrown his way. He needed a break. We hoped our home would be the break he needed. Our kids quickly opened up their hearts and rooms to him and let him in. Little Man calls him his brother. Drama Boy calls him, "His brother from another mother." Recently he turned 18. We helped throw a party for him. Wanting to honor his passions without belittling him with youthful decorations, I came up with this. Throughout last year, when … [Read more...]

31 Days to Savor~LoveBomb with Apples

By Kristin on October 18, 2010 4 Comments

LoveBomb=The act of preparing, serving and sharing a meal or a morsel with someone you normally wouldn't. This is an act that takes you outside of yourself...usually involves a little bit of courage...and rewards you in ways that are hard to express. We have LoveBomb-ed with burgers, cupcakes and even breakfast. But, because apples are plentiful this time of year...how about making an apple pie, galette or bread! Think of a neighbor or a teacher...the librarian or guy at your local coffee shop who serves you your … [Read more...]

LoveBomb Gets Dropped on Facebook

By Kristin on July 15, 2010 8 Comments

We are on a mission to start a LoveBomb-ing revolution! What is a LoveBomb? It is the act of preparing, serving and sharing a meal or a morsel with someone you normally wouldn't. It could be a cookie to a local librarian, or a five course meal for teen age boys! It could be bacon cheeseburgers for a bunch of skaters or muffins with moms who are trying to get back on their feet. LoveBomb-ing is about stepping out of your comfort zone and coming to the Table to listen to others stories. It doesn't matter how old you … [Read more...]

LoveBomb-ing Boys @Ridge

By Kristin on June 8, 2010 22 Comments

We headed back to Ridge. We head up there once a month, fire up our grill, bring cases of Mountain Dew and feed the boys! They know when we're coming now. They expect us. They've even accepted us. It's wild because the first time we LoveBomb-ed, they weren't sure if they could trust us. We were constantly asked, "Why are you here? Why would you feed us? What's your angle? What's the catch?" We answered back, "To feed you. We thought you'd be hungry. No angle. No catch." We decided consistency was best. Some … [Read more...]
