Thanks again for hosting! I think it's been as much fun for me putting the posts together as it is to explore other people's best recipes!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much bookmarked these across the board. Especially all the pasta!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying linking up to your party! You apparently cook a lot more than I do these days! You have so many wonderful offerings! I'm loving how you sneak a lot of veggies into your food. I need to do that more.
ReplyDeleteI've found SO many wonderful recipes through this feature. Can't wait to start trying them all!
ReplyDeleteSnoWhite, I think I finally got linked up correctly today!! Thanks for being patient with me, and thanks for the super party!
ReplyDeleteOh Yummy! All these main dish recipes are such a menu planning inspiration...I'll definitely be checking back in to see what recipes will make our must-try list.
ReplyDeleteZucchini burgers...wow I've never seen anything like this before. I wonder if I could use leftover chicken, pulsed a few times in the blender instead of canned chicken.
ReplyDeleteEverything is so tempting! And very unique and creative. You are a girl after my own heart with all these veggie infused dishes!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting. I am having so much fun with this. Your Parmesan Chicken, Tater Tot Casserole and Pizza Pockets are definitely going on my "to make" list. I must try your homemade tater tots. They seem a little easier than other recipes I have seen. Oh, and I want to do the bacon wrapped turkey next time I roast one. Now off to see other's posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, SnoWhite, for hosting this series. I love it!
