Where do I begin?

I've been a bit quite the last month or two, my excuse...I've been busy.  Had a couple of lovely visits from family first Maureen then my parents.  With my facebook addiction I put the blogging on hold for a little bit just till I could regain a sense of calm.  But I'm going to keep this fairly limited to food comments.  Not too many new recipes of late mostly redoing some old favorites to keep cooking times down to a minimum, however there have been some standouts.  There was the turkey meatloaf sliders...all I can say is wow, and my parents want to make them sometime for Jo.  Another must try is the apple-fennel stuffed pork tenderloin, oh wow it was good and relatively inexpensive to make and fed easily 4 adults, 1 teenager, 1 preteen and 2 toddlers, and there were no complaints from any quarter.  Oh and here is another neat recipe, chicken porcini shepperd's pie I had to skip the cheese that this called for due to my hubby's sensitive stomach :) but again a hit with everyone.  Of course had a couple of things that didn't work as well as intended but overall great.

Oh and fair warning when you think the spinach as been in the fridge too long don't use it really don't use it.  I managed to give us food poisoning while Maureen was here and it was the only item that Isabel didn't eat and she was the only one that didn't get sick.  I'm now ultra paranoid about veggies that have been in the fridge too long but none the less keep on trying lesson learned and it's the first time I've ever made anyone sick and hopefully the last.

I hope this gives a few ideas, of course with lots coming in on a weekly basis as the show is on to a new season.  Ah too many recipes too little time.  I shall just keep up with the ideas :)
