I’ve been in the blogging world for a long time. My little corner of the internet is 6 years old now, believe it or not. I’ve met a lot of amazing people in the last few years, but there are a few that are kind of super stars in my mind. Their beautiful photos, amazing story-telling, and successful businesses are shining examples of what you can do when you really go after pursuing your passions.

Our community is such a fantastic one. A bunch of super supportive women, holding each other up and helping each other out. You meet people sometimes, and just know. Yes. They are just as strange as you, and OH MY GOSH you have a bunch of things in common because we’re all on this crazy ride together. Instant friends, sometimes, in a way that I’ve never really found in other areas of my life.

Kristen, of Dine and Dish, is one of those. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to, and so so kind. You’d never know upon meeting her that she has a giant blog empire and a zillion readers. Beyond her amazing photography, I’m pretty sure her approachability and the rapport and care she has for people is a big reason WHY she has all of those loyal followers!

I was fortunate enough to share a meal in Kansas with her at the fabulous Rye, (along with equally awesome Julie from The Little Kitchen, and Melissa from My Whole Food Life) where this recipe originated, as well as spend some time hanging out at Chopped. It was one of the best experiences ever.

And Rye. You guys. Oh.my.gosh. I strongly recommend checking this place out if you are in the Kansas City area.

Not only did they have delicious cocktails, but they also introduced me to a newfound love of whipped goat cheese, cottage fries, and ham gravy.

Rye KC Goat Cheese and Cottage Fries

Okay so the cottage fries and ham gravy were pretty easy sells. I’m down with any kind of fries and gravy, really. That’s kind of my thing, you know. My favorite unhealthy, inexpensive teenage snack was going down to the local diner and getting a side of fries covered with beef gravy.

Actually it was Kristen who really introduced me to my love of goat cheese. Prior to this trip, it was one of the new foods that was pretty firmly on my “NOPE” list. It isn’t a very long list. It includes insects, anything that’s still alive, rodents, and until recently – goat cheese. It just wasn’t my favorite thing.

Then I tried this. Ohhhhh yeah.

Kristen mentioned while I was taking way more than my fair share of this that she had the recipe on her site too, and I knew pretty much immediately that I’d be making this. Her Whipped Goat Cheese and Honey recipe comes right from the Rye cookbook, and you must check it out.
