Half Cup of Nuts

Since we are all a half cup of nuts at least some time during the week, and for me especially when it is time to figure out what to make for dinner, I figured the name would suite us well (and Sara helped in the narrowing down!)

So, the idea is to post recipes that you have made and like. They can be old family favorites or new ones that liven up the dull everyday dishes. You can either post the whole recipe or copy a link to one you have found and don't want to take the time to write out. If you have made adjustments, then PLEASE list what those adjustments or recommendations are. Also, feel free to give suggestions or "my family does such and such" comments about recipes posted.

I think that it would also be great to post about any helpful techniques or cooking tools stumbled across. Like how to get the most out of slicing a tomato without all of its inside being lost on the cutting board (you get my idea, I know that you are all very smart ladies!).

No pressure to post - this is just all for fun and hopefully a bountiful resource for those of us trying to cook the world's greatest meal for our exhausted husbands and children who seem to loose half of it on their laps! (... Isn't it always an exhibition of high manners at your house during meal time? I know we all wear white and eat with out pinkies extended!)

By the way, before I close ... love you ladies! (and, you should all know, I am a master of run-on sentences - so take a deep breath before you read what I write!)
