RECIPE OF THE MONTH!

In an effort to post more, I've decided to share a favorite recipe of ours on a monthly basis. I hope that this will also help me sort through the bazillion cookbooks/magazines that I have. If anyone is interested in back issues of Taste of Home's Quick Cooking, speak up now. I'll be hauling them to the laundromat {where I dispose of all magazines (can you just picture the Amish mom flipping through Canoe & Kayak while she's waiting for her sheets to dry? haha : ) }

So here goes:
