I'M BACK!!!!! SO EAT THIS

After a few weeks of bitching and being pissed over the fact that the former advertisers on my blog refused to pay for the use of this blog.  I have decided to bring it back to life and start publishing recipes again.  So how about I start with a few side dishes, some real crowd pleasers to bring to the company potlucks, family reunions, and graduation open house party's.
