Rachael Ray Roundup

Well, my return to the working world was pretty uneventful. Luckily, my boss had enough to keep me busy so I was nice and distracted from thinking about missing Darcy! It was so nice to come home and see her, though. I don't think I'd even be mad if she woke me up all night. Did I mention she usually sleeps 12-14 hours? How lucky am I? She knows Mommy needs energy to cook and post recipe reviews on her blog....

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.
