Foodie Friday -- August 8th

Welcome to Foodie Friday, where great food is always on the menu.

 My old white outdoor table fell apart, and while picking up the boards, I managed to step on yet another nail. But the news was good. I'd just had a Tetanus injection (so I didn't need to worry about that), and Mr. Mutz is repairing the table. 

Let's take a look at the most popular recipes at last week's Foodie Friday.

My Carolina Kitchen's  "Orzo Salad" was the most-viewed, with it's jewel-toned colors and rich textures. Sam says this recipe will feed a crowd. I'll be right over Sam!

The second most-viewed recipe was Message from Mimi's "Playing with my Dishes."  During the scorching days of August, the best way to cool off is to bring out sparkling green glassware. Just beautiful, Mimi!

Adorable cookies by Mimi's Kitchen  were the third most-viewed.Mimi provides the foundation recipe for sugar cookie dough--and tons of inspiration. Mimi, you're an artist!
