Been trying to decide what to make with these and was wondering if you have a very favorite recipe you would like to share.  I’ve been looking through mine trying to decide, which I seem to do every year!  Thank you for any posts!  Have a happy day!

A new month already!  This challenges us to dig into those recipes and cookbooks that have been lying around forever in our 'going to try someday' pile.  If we try at least one a month, at least we will get some use out of them and be able to share with others too!  Personally, I have a ton that fit into that category.  I made this one last night, and it is a keeper!Chicken in Basil Cream(From Read more [...]
