I want to try something a little different today and I need your help!
I am looking for new recipes to try out. Not only will it give us new meal choices, but maybe I'll get better at cooking (I can hear my husband laughing now).
Now where, you may be asking, do you come in? It's easy. Post a recipe on your blog and post the link in the form below. Not only will you be helping me find new recipes, but you'll be helping yourself as well. The links will appear and you can check out other readers' blogs for ideas, too.
Here's a recipe I posted back in June. I hope that y'all post some tasty recipes so that I can try one out and feature it on next week's Tasty Tuesday blog!

First question: have you checked out Kelly's Korner blog lately? She did a recipe thingy a few weeks ago and lots of yummy things showed up there.
ReplyDeleteSecond question: are you and the hubs still on WW?
And lastly, I'll have to come back to this one and play later. Playing at work right now.
I love this idea! I put up a link for a dinner dish, but I also have an amazing one for oatmeal cookies that is my grandma's recipe.
ReplyDeleteI did a dessert since you did!! Mine is not very WW friendly and I did not even try to do points on this--heavy cream being the main ingredient--but it is worth it!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to do this every week? We could take turns if you want...
I thought I would just give you a recipe as I usually post about fashion. Here is my UBER easy. Lemon chiffon cake...
ReplyDelete1 small box lemon pudding
1 yellow cake mix
1 large container of cool whip light
1 lemon
Make lemon pudding and cake according to the boxes.
Split cake mix between two round pans.
After the cake is baked and cooled, put half of the pudding on top of one of the cake halves.
Pu the other cake half on top of that.
Put the rest of the pudding on top.
Cover the whole cake with the cool whip.
Slice very thin lemon slices. Cut a slit in and twist. Put a few on top for garnish.
