Recipe of the week

I love Sunday! I think it is one of my favorite days of the week. Especially here in Mississippi, every second Sunday is potluck! The ENTIRE ward brings a dish and we all sit and eat our afternoon meal together at the church. Some of the items are less than desirable, but I must say that I have learned exactly which dish contains the mystery meat (could be squirrel, rabbit, possum, who knows). Also the crock pot with the ding in the side that I am positive will have the best soup ever. I just love to sit and talk over a good meal, I think it really brings people together.

This weeks recipes are great for a potluck or any summer dinner.

Well, it looks like the recipe for the Thai noodles was veto'd. Keith informed me that it would be too spicy for most kids and adults and that he thought it was a waste of good pasta. So if you want me to repost the recipe I will, but I think I will try to put up something else.

Here is a free-bee. This is what I took to potluck today. Totally sinful!
