New Year 2013

Hi all!!! Where the heck did 2012 go? Almost through the first month of the New Year. I have been home recuperating from surgery and had some more time to review and try new recipes. I posted quite a few to the blog.Crispy chicken, Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs chicken and oven taco's are all kid friendly and got great reviews. The golden parmesan potatoes, two-timing pasta bake and the Italian skillet bread got 2 thumbs up from family and friends. Be sure to check them out.  Still lots of cold weather ahead of us, can't help dreaming about sun, sand and beaches. Stay warm!!!
