Barefoot! Croque Monsieur

**not gluten free**

Barefoot! Asian Chicken Salad

**not gluten free**

First of all, I want to thank McKenzie, of Kenzie’s Kitchen for choosing this recipe.  Occasionally I get stuck in a rut with my recipes.  I find a particular flavor combination that I like and I don’t want to try anything else knowing I’ll be disappointed.

Barefoot! Tomato & Mozzarella Tart

**not gluten free**

It’s Barefoot time again!  This week’s pick is from the lovely Anne of Anne Strawberry.

The Husband actually likes goat cheese but like a mean wife, I deny him the opportunity to eat it in our house.  I’m not really being mean… I’m being safe.  For some reason I have an insane allergy to [...]

Was it just me and my crazy Sunday that had problems with these meringues?  I’ve made meringues before… several times but  I’ve never quite experienced the problems I had with these.  I’m sure the other Barefooters faired well.

A big thanks is in order for Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake who chose this week’s Barefoot recipe.  What is the thanks for?  The excuse to try out another recipe for spaghetti and meatballs?  Sure.  The crazy antics that she’s always coming up with that make me laugh so hard I have stitches?  Absolutely.  The extra kiss [...]

Roasted Potato & Leek Soup

For Christmas, The Mother-In-Law gave me the new Barefoot Contessa book.  My normal mode of operation when getting a new cookbook is to pour over it with a pad of posties next to me marking pages of things I really want to make.  The new book was so marked with orange posties I could hardly [...]

Barefoot! Easy Sticky Buns

You know that crazy girl in home-ec class that was constantly struggling with a project?  That girl that was trying really hard to make her dish look like everyone else’s but also make it edible?  That’s me.

Barefoot! Banana Sour Cream Pancakes

**not gluten free**

Karen of Something Sweet by Karen chose Ina Garten’s Banana Sour Cream Pancakes as the very first recipe of 2009.  My palms were sweaty as the realization hit.  I have to make pancakes!  Oh, it’s going to be a disaster!  After all, we’ve been down this road before.
