    Wow that salad looked so good!

    Good recipes. All things I would eat, and not made with ridiculously expensive ingredients. If I had to get nit-picky, since you asked, the table setting was a little off for the food being eaten. It didn’t say “spring or summer food” to me, it said more “formal dinner party”. Also, I’d have to agree with Wikedd about the girl. She appears to be reading from a teleprompter, as if there isn’t a independent thought pattern there. Aside from those negligible short-comings, it was great. Thumbs up.

    Food looks great the only problem is iam now very hungry and it’s a little to late to eat.I love to cook for my wife she’s the best so that only means one thing i’ll have to try one of your dishes.

    This not only looks like a great meal for your family and/or guests, but the best part of this is that it’s so simple. Man, if my wife didn’t already take out the cornish hen to defrost, I would be making this tonight. Thanks for sharing.

    Homemade spaghetti and meatballs! One quarter pound veal, One pound beef and pork! Combine these 3 meats with 1 tsp garlic, half cup of Italian bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 1 tsp seasoned salt, one half teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, one medium chopped onion, form meatballs into golf ball size!
    In crockpot add 2 large cans tomato sauce and one large can puree! Fry meatballs in olive oill and once browned, pour into crock. Fresh tomatoes can be used!

  21. padude64 说道:

    You may also add Paul Masson red wine after each batch of meatballs are cooked! It is calles rue!!!!
    Crock pot spaghetti sauce is so delicious!

  22. padude64 说道:
