In case you're new to the food blog, each week instead of doing a week in review, I have created a shopping list and listed the interesting food related items that I blogged on. This way, you can catch up on your reading, as well as print the blog and use it as a shopping list for your favorite recipes. I admit that I'm experimenting with formats and so any feedback is appreciated!

Last week, I was so heavy on the tidbits, and low on the recipes that this week I decided to do lots of recipes. The food news is so overshadowed by issues in our food supply (which I'm avoiding blogging about) that there weren't any good tidbits to share. With that said. . .
