Recipe Tag!

Here are the rules - if you're tagged then you need to post a favorite recipe. PREFERABLY one that you consider your own, a signature recipe, a family recipe, or a unique recipe. If you don't have anything like that, then just post one that you like to make and want to share. After you've posted your recipe, tag 2 people so that they can share too.

Be sure that when you are tagged you include a link back to the blogger that tagged you first. And then include a link to the two bloggers that you are tagging next. The key to the game is to be able follow the links all over blogdome and pick up a ton of great recipes along the way. Also, feel free to share more than one recipe!
