<p>I think I&rsquo;ve mentioned before that my family is kind of picky when it comes to food.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s because of this that I very rarely make a recipe as it&rsquo;s lined out.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve been stalking Pinterest lately because there are all sorts of recipes that have been pinned on there, that I&rsquo;d never be able to find myself online.&nbsp; And maybe it&rsquo;s because a lot of them come from &lsquo;mom blogs&rsquo; and if I can&rsquo;t use the recipes as written at least they&rsquo;re fairly easy to modify to fit the tastes of my family.</p>]]></summary></entry><entry><title>Lady and the Tramp Blu-ray and Plush Set Give Away</title><category term="Blu-ray"/><category term="Diamond Collection"/><category term="Disney"/><category term="Giveaway"/><category term="Lady and the Tramp"/><category term="plushies"/><id>http://www.threedifferentdirections.com/blog/lady-and-the-tramp-blu-ray-and-plush-set-give-away.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.threedifferentdirections.com/blog/lady-and-the-tramp-blu-ray-and-plush-set-give-away.html"/><author><name>Tammy</name></author><published>2012-02-09T15:00:43Z</published><updated>2012-02-09T15:00:43Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 150px;" src="http://www.threedifferentdirections.com/storage/december-2011/lady-and-the-tramp.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328656042688" alt="" /></span></span>February 7th marked the day that Disney's classic animated feature "Lady and the Tramp" was released on Blu-ray for the first time ever.</p>
