There's a website called www.cheesecake.com that's hosted by Kraft that has
a bunch of cool recipes [and not just cheesecake].  I found a recipe that's
pretty similar to the one my mom used to make and another one for a seasoned
parmeasan chicken.  I haven't really browsed through a lot of them yet but
I  plan to soon!

Mary, what was the name of that blog that you've mentioned before? I know I've
looked at it before but haven't checked it out in awhile.

I go to foodtv.com a fair bit.  Even if I have a cookbook, it's nice 
to just download a recipe and tape it to a cupboard while I'm working 
and if it gets trashed, be able to get it again.

Oops, that recipe similar to what my Mom used to make is cherry cheesecake.

I follow 13 food blogs but only a few of them offer practical recipes for 
home cooking.  My favorite cooking blog is Simply Recipes, at:

http://www.elise.com/recipes/

I have a binder of keeper recipes, things I make on a regular basis.  
From Simply Recipes I see I've now added:

Beef Goulash
Ratatouille & Sausages
Zucchini with Thyme
Beef, Barley and Vegetable Soup

Now, these are all pretty much war-horse fixin's.  But Elise tends
to season things just right, for my taste.  So I tend to try her
version of a dish and, more often than not, find her's to be better.

Here is a link to a caterer's blog that I find fascinating:

Mary, I'll have to check these out. And what is the blog of the person here
in AA? She talks about restaurants, food, etc., but I forget what the site
acutally is called.

I think that Denise was originally asking about Lisa's site
www.kitchenchick.com

Yep, that's it! Thanks, Glenda.

The other day, I went back to the cheesecake.com website that I had visited
earlier, but instead of finding the Kraft stuff, I found a site that looked
like one of those places that you could order cheesecakes from and it wasn[t
the kraft site at all. So I'm wondering how I got the kraft site from there
earlier AND Kraft did use the cheesecake.com on one of their commercials on
tv, or so I thought. So I did a goole search and did find the recipe I wanted
for my cheesecake that I wanted from Kraft, but don't recall what it was. I'll
have to doublecheck it and repost it here.

I just came across the website: bulkfoods.com  -- a site where you can
order small to  large amounts of lots of different food items,
seasonings, etc.  They list the retail on each  thing and then it lists
its wholesale price.  So--if you don't have access to or want to go to 
the food co-op, this could work for you.

Denise, if you ever want me to pick you up some spices (I can get them 
in bulk incredibly cheap), let me know.

Thanks, Edina; I'll let you know. Somewhere along the line, I do want to
check out the  local food co-ops, though. I've never been to one.
