I don’t want you to think that I have forgotten my goal to tell you what I am having for dinner each night, but I am going to have to tease you a little tonight since Dinner is a Secret! 

Right now dinner for my family is all about research and development.  That means I am testing recipes for the Spring Kitchen Connection Magazine using products that are not for sale right now but will be available in March.  Thus….the secret!  I really wish I could tell you what was on the table…but I can tell you some comments heard from hubby, 2 of my sons and 2 of their teenage friends:

Friend: “I really like this one…and I don’t usually eat tomatoes”

Son: “that chicken is great…can I have another one?”

Other friend: “this potato salad is good…what is in it?”

Hubby:  “I feel like I am in Tuscany!”

By the way…I must send out a special kudo to my sweet hubby.  You see, it is raining / sleeting and blowing a cold 30 degree wind here today…but I am testing recipes for a summer magazine ~ so….  Dear Hubby fired up the grill and stood in the cold weather all for the sake of research and development.  What a guy!!! 

I did get 11 pounds of ground beef steamed and 15 pounds of chicken breasts steamed and diced and then bagged them all in 1 pound portions for the freezer. I talked to Nanci Smith in St. Louis today and she got her ground beef steamed and in the freezer too! What about you…what’s in your freezer?   

I’m in the office tomorrow, which means no time in the kitchen for R&D, so tomorrow will be something in the slow cooker.  I’ll let you know when I decide what it will be.  There are so many quick and easy choices…not sure where I will start! 

God Bless and Keep You,

Tami
