NOTES:
1. pretty good!  Had to make it in the oven cause our grill was out of propane... I think it would be better on the grill though!





I'm BACK! :)



Sorry I was away for a few weeks there... I went to Utah to see my sister Melani's production of Taming of the Shrew (she teaches junior high drama... though you'd never know that her kids were that young with the AMAZING job they do!)... and then I was in Arizona for 2 weeks with my sister Marian cause she has a new baby (number 6!  YAY!). 

Anyways... I have a few recipes to post that I made BEFORE I left that I never got the chance to put up because I ran out of time (who knew packing could take so long!).  And I'm starting back in today with a new recipe (tweaked a bit because I just got home and haven't had a chance to go grocery shopping... so it's just what I had here!)

Hope everyone is doing well!!!!  It's almost Thanksgiving! 

Discliamer... I am NOT cooking Thanksgiving dinner.  Cooking a turkey scares me to DEATH, and we had a friend invite us over so it's not up to me... YIPPEE!!  (maybe I'll do a pie or something... )
