Now don't let me fool you... I haven't cooked a thing since Katie has joined the clan (it's been lots of peanut butter, bananas, and granola for me) BUT I  have a ton of recipes that haven't made it to the blog yet, so I figured I would dip into my "recipes not posted" file until I get back  into the kitchen!
