I’ve decided to drop the “themed” and “organized” approach to the Recipe Swap for this week. Perhaps this shall be the new norm, and every now and then we’ll have a theme. Your thoughts?
I found a new recipe last week for chicken pot pie; it was my first attempt, and it went over […]

Rules for today:
Cannot use oven - stove-top/microwave/grill/sidewalk/hood-of-car all okay.
Extra points for a cool, refreshing dish.
My dish earns me no extra points for the cool/refreshing factor. But! It’s roast chicken! In a Crock Pot!
I’ve been cooking Tammy’s recipe for roast chicken for months now. Love it. It’s the easiest (no chopping […]

I hope you all are ready to astound me with your seafood recipes. Because I only have two. Tuna noodle casserole and this one. Crispy oven-fried fish. Pathetic selection, I know. And fish is supposed to be so healthy for you, too!

I’ve been comforting a sickly, teething baby all day, and this is the first chance I’ve had to type two-handed. So please forgive (and understand!) the tardiness of this post and please forget that just about every other post I try to have ready on a specific day is also usually late.

Oooh, I have so many good bread recipes. But there is one that rises to the top as the dominant alpha male and continues to assert his authority by snarling viciously at the lesser breads.
