Rachael Ray Roundup

Well, last weekend's little dinner party went very well! The Salmon en Croute was just outstanding, although it almost landed in the Beyond My Skill Level category due to the difficulties of dealing with puff pastry for a rookie. I have quite a backlog of recipes going, but I plan on posting all the Top 10 recipes I have tried all in a row. I still have to try Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce Over Chive Egg Noodles and The Ultimate Spaghetti and Meatballs Supper. For the most part, the recipes have not disappointed so far!

Don't forget to watch the premiere of the second season of Rachael's talk show! It starts on Monday.

Here are the Rachael Ray posts from around the blogosphere this week. If you see a post that you think would be good for the Roundup, or you write one yourself, e-mail me so I can be sure to include it.
