Merab made an avacado, mozzarella and tomato salad with fresh basil, black olives and a homemade mustard vinegarette - looks DE-lish!

Caroline made Cake Pops (!!!) for Halloween. She says these are inspired by Bakerella, a famous blogger. Good work, Caroline!

Virginia made me Barefoot Contessa goodies for my birthday!!! And they are GOOD. Thanks, Virginia!

Ron and Mary made this "Harvest Dinner" - full of sausages, stewed grapes, chestnut-mashed potatoes, and asparagus - YUM! The idea came from a book entitled "A Thousand Days in Tuscany."

Anne and Greg (and Ron and Mary, too) made some pizzas the other night. Though we understand that some unique challenges arose during the course of cooking, we did get some glowing reviews from a newcomer to 2frugalfoodies. Greg says, "This was the easiest and best pizza I ever made!"

Ginny went to Acqua al 2 in Florence, Italy and we get to see these awesome pictures. We asked her if she would just make us a doggy bag of blueberry steak, but it might go bad in 3.5 months...Enjoy your time abroad, Ginny!

John, of the Mussels in White Wine Sauce fame, has stayed busy in the kitchen. He just sent us a great looking picture of dinner the other night.

Alex tried the Pacific Flounder recipe, but added shrimp, onions, and red peppers to the pan before baking - WOW! We are so happy to have such clever, gourmet readers.

So when are you gonna post the recipe for that amazing brie with the honey croissant-like shell that we had at Mary’s wedding? I want it. And if you post it, I’ll take a picture of me making it so you can put it on your site. And I’m not making fun…I think this is great. And you guys say really funny stuff. I love you. Move close so we can hang out all the time, ok? Great!!
