Rachael Ray Roundup

Oh my goodness, have I ever missed cooking.  Between the pregnancy-related modified bed rest and the complete bedrest I've been on for the last two months, I have not be able to cook at all!  We've been living on the generosity of family and friends who have brought meals by, food from the freezer, and things that my husband feels comfortable making (think tacos, things from boxes).  I hit 37 weeks today, which is 8.25 months, so the baby is now considered full term!  While I should be most happy about simply getting up and around, I think I am most excited about getting back in the kitchen.

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 at everythingrachaelray at gmail dot com.
