To all my fellow blogging friends, I invite you to share a recipe that your family food critics give 2 thumbs up to. I have learned to appreciate the culinary arts (sure I'm still a novice, but that's not important) and am always looking for new ways to grow and try new fun family recipes. With a cupboard overflowing with recipes and cookbooks, I still struggle with what to make for dinner....before having a child I could dive into several courses to prepare for my loving husband, but with a 2 year old in the kitchen with me now, I still try to keep the dishes interesting, but a little simpler, and tantalizing to my toddler's palate.
Here's my contribution of a new recipe. Last night's dinner was a success around my family table. If you would like to join in, feel free to post a recipe on your blog or in my comments section!
