Recipes (post your favs)

I am looking for some new recipes to try out.  I just printed a bunch out, but would love to hear some of your stand by recipes.  Post your favorites here!

Re: Recipes (post your favs)

  • Here's one of my favs that was posted on the Nest alot last year...I made it last night since I wanted something not requiring lots of thought and it's so yummy.  I don't use the butter or salt though.
