Rachael Ray Roundup

I had a great weekend last weekend! Darcy and I headed out to a party all by ourselves, which was a first. We were lucky enough to attend the second Sacramento Food Bloggers Potluck. As a result, I updated by blog roll to include all the new blogs I discovered while chatting with people at the event. (Actually, I pretty much stole Garrett's, since he is our Social Chair.) A highlight in my book was Garrett's Chipotle Flourless Chocolate Cake and you can find the recipe over on Simply Recipes.

Just like at our last potluck, there was a tremendous amount of outstanding food! Everyone gets more and more creative - I am always impressed by the talent shown by bloggers! I used Darcy as an excuse and brought Garlic and Herb Spread. If you haven't tried it yet, make it this weekend!

Here are some 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.
