Darlene Wilson, today’s Guest-clacker, grew up as a very picky eater (and she hopes her mom forgives her for that!). She started developing an interest in cooking after working at several top NYC restaurants. As a mom, she loves introducing her children to new foods and flavors, but she is not above nuking frozen chicken […]
This little ol’ recipe I found ages ago on Recipezaar has become one of my all-time favorites… with a few quick changes, of course.

Jeff’s back again, sharing another original recipe after his three quick dinners….

Pia’s back Guest-clacking for us again, after sharing her recipe for Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce last time…. My comfort food of choice is, without question, pasta.
