I made this tonight. Next time, I think I'll let the girls help by cutting up the biscuits for me. The fun thing is that the 'pizza' pulls apart in little bite-size pieces. Yum!

Made this today, and it was good! I know lots of people are always looking for good crock pot recipes. This one has balsamic vinaigrette in it, and it gives the stew a nice flavor.

Okay, so this is nowhere even close to healthy. This is one of those meals that you have a small portion of then fill up the rest of your plate with veggies to balance it out. But it's SO easy, SO good, and SO cheap. I served this to some friends who came over for dinner this weekend, and they each had seconds then requested the recipe ( Read more... )

I am co-throwing a golf-themed bachelorette party this Saturday for one of my good friends. All I'm in charge of is the food for the first "hole" at her apartment. We'll be going to several bars, restaurants, people's houses, etc. throughout the night, so I don't want to overdo it either food- or beverage-wise (even club sandwiches might be too ( Read more... )
