Loved that collection of red, white, and blue goodness on last week’s URS! Thanks to everyone who linked up. Amy’s Caramel Pretzel Sparklers were particularly clever as she used caramel wrap instead of unwrapping all those little squares and melting them. Easy-peasy.
This Thursday come ready to share your chicken recipes. Henry IV of France reportedly wished every peasant to have a chicken to cook every Sunday. It was considered a sign of prosperity. And since chicken can be purchased as low as $0.59/pound, it’s an achievable goal for almost anyone. So, tell us how you get your chicken cooked!
Next week, Ultimate Recipe Swap will feature birthday cakes, so dig out those photos so we can see what great ideas you have.
