The Cooking Light recipes sound wonderful too! Now for the snow - - whew, I saw the dome rip open on tv and just could not believe my eyes! My sister, husband and daughter had driven up to the Twin Cities from Des Moines in the midst of that blizzard to see the Vikes play the Giants and what a mess they found themselves in! Just glad it happened when no one was inside! Stay warm!

I hope you will all be safe and warm. <br /><br />I love the thought of those polenta sticks under a blanket of cheese! And that pasta with brocolli rabe and chickpeas! Don't like brocolli, but brocolli rabe is an entirely different and delicious beast!
