Hello lovely ladies (and any men that may be joining us!).  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I’m struggling with my mobility right now due to some old sciatica issues that are flaring up.  Sitting is the worst so this post is going to take me a long time to write as I will have to keep getting up to walk around.

Last week’s recipe highlight definitely goes to the Makeover Creamy Italian Sausage Pasta.  So delicious and definitely one that I’ll be adding to our Family Favorites Recipe Index!

Do you remember the Pork Chops Stuffed With Feta and Spinach recipe I was going to try last week?  So didn’t happen.  I couldn’t get past the first step of cutting a slit in the pork chop because apparently my pork chops were a little too thin.  Oh well, I slathered on some BBQ sauce and baked them in the oven instead :)

How many of you love to read food blogs?  I especially love looking at all the beautiful mouth watering food pictures.  If you were to recommend ONE food blog which one would it be?

I totally need pictures with recipes. It’s often the pictures that make me try new ones. Happy birthday to your daughter!

Sorry to read about your sciatica. I’ve been suffering for 9 years with various pain issues.
You’re definitely not alone.
You have a Happy Easter!

I LOVE food blogs. They are so much fun to visit and try recipes from. I actually visit several frequently, some of which have been mentioned here. A couple I recommend are: foodgawker.com, macaroniandcheesecake.blogspot.com, amberskitchen.blogspot.com, annieseats.wordpress.com and divine-domesticity.blogspot.com. I’d love to see a complete list of everyone’s suggestions if you want to share it. Thanks.

We made the Hearty Hashbrown Dinner and my husband loved it and I did too. I make it by baking it in the oven and use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken. Turned out wonderfully! Thanks for posting the recipe. This is going to be a new family favorite and I love it because it’s so easy.

I know you’re way past this post, but I have one more food blog for you. Don’t look at it hungry. Don’t look at it full either, ’cause then you’ll be hungry. Well, maybe just don’t look at it. :)
