Welcome to Food, Fun & Faraway Places! I’m so glad you found your way here! If you ended up here surprised, it may be because something you clicked on has been redirected. Things change quickly in the world of the internet, and sometimes links no longer work. I hope you’ll stick around and find something else you’d like to read!

Let’s pretend we’re sitting at a cafe in France, or maybe Italy, or maybe…in your neighborhood! Grab your coffee or tea and let me take a minute to introduce myself and tell you a little about this site and how to find your away around.

My name is Kelly Stilwell and I’m the writer and photographer behind Food, Fun & Faraway Places.

 

This blog was born from my passion for writing. When my kids were little, I wrote for print magazines. It was my outlet, and a way to share the joys and frustrations of parenting. To learn more about me, visit my About page.

Eventually, an editor told me to start a blog. I wish I could remember which editor it was so I could thank them! This little blog has turned into my full-time business where I write about a few of my other passions:

 Food

Whether it’s a new dish I’m making at home, a tasting at a restaurant in Indonesia, rolling along the Canadian Rockies while having a gourmet lunch on a train, or fine dining on a River Cruise in France, I LOVE FOOD! All the recipes here are things I love to eat.

Want to know where you can find the best food in Walt Disney World parks? This post is for you!

And because I love to eat, I will occasionally go back on Weight Watchers. The program helped me lose baby weight and works every time I work at it. I have never worked with Weight Watchers. I just love the recipes, so you will find some here.

Some of my favorite recipes:

Watermelon Jicama Salsa from Carnival Cruise Lines

Fresh Peach and Cucumber Salsa

Decadent Roasted Marshmallow Cocktail

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream

Who could resist Pumpkin Bread Pudding with freshly made Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream? 'Tis the season for pumpkin, though I love it all year long!

Italian Weight Watchers Recipes

Apple Spice Scones

20 Delicious Indonesian Desserts

Crunchy Apple Crisp

You are going to love this Crunchy Apple Crisp! When you're eating cooked apples, you have to have some crunch to go with the softness of the fruit, right?

Fun

I love movies, and I still have to pinch myself that I have interviewed so many celebrities and even walked the red carpet at premieres in Hollywood. If you love movies, too, check out some of the interviews:

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Truth be told, I freaked out a little when I heard I would be interviewing Lin-Manuel Miranda. My kids have been listening to the soundtrack from Hamilton for about a year now.

Dwayne (the Rock) Johnson

Chris Evans

Kurt Russell

Chris Pratt

Zoe Saldana

Dave Bautista

On the Set with Guardians of the Galaxy

I am so glad Nebula played by Karen Gillan is back for more in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. We sat down with her in between filming.

Travel

In the past 7-8 years, I’ve discovered an insatiable passion for travel. I want to see the world! I travel with my family as well as on press trips where I learn about new destinations and share it with you here.

Some places are near:

What to Expect on a VIP Tour in Disney World

Why We Love Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside

Some are all about the journey:

Why you Want to See the Canadian Rockies on Rocky Mountaineer

If you're thinking about taking a trip to see the Canadian Rockies on Rocky Mountaineer, don't think any further, just book it. Now that I have experienced it for myself, I can honestly say it is the trip of a lifetime. And there's no better time than during Canada's 150th anniversary!

Choosing Excursions on Carnival Cruise Lines

Disney Magic Cruise Ship

Some took a while to arrive:

3 days in Raja Ampat Indonesia

There’s nothing quite like Raja Ampat if you love beautiful beaches, turquoise water, white sand, and some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. What's not to love about that?

Why You Need to See Cueva Ventana

My Top Excursions on Viking River Cruise

And finally, some of my favorite trips where I’ve also had amazing food!
