    Looove the basil rubbed chicken a la Erika! Hey, just puttin it out there, but when you get a spare moment, could you section off the recipes by cook time, 5 ingredients or less, n00b-proof, etc.? I know its bold as all-get-out to come at you like this but several times have I looked through your recipes, salivated at the pics, and clicked the one that made me go Niagara down my shirtfront, only to realize that it requires some strange type of cookware that Ive never heard of before (yes, Im talking about a dutch oven- dont laugh, moms fanciest cookware piece was the casserole dish). @_@….*_*…. x_x … yea. So, um just an idea. Oh, and I will be purchasing all of your meal plans just as soon as I recover from purchasing fall semester textbooks- why is a used textbook $90?! Burns my muffins…

      Money saving tip on textbooks check the college library…. if your is like mine they don’t charge late fees so you can check the book out all semester. Sometimes the editions are different so if you have to answer questions from the book you may want to ask a classmate to work with you

      I’ll be trying out the recipes on the site the honey mustard rice looks delish!!!!

A few rules for posting, friends:

  • If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
  • Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I protect our community. Everyone appreciates this until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail to complain. I already know you're mad.)
