This week I picked a few old favorites to compliment some brave new dishes. Corn Dogs are always a hit with Rob - I think he's eat them for breakfast. And I love Great Northern Bean Stew - it's really tasty and very cheap! Plus spaghetti is just comfort food all the way around.

Rob and I both love crab cakes and Caleb loves the name "Bob", so this new (but not unusual) crab cake recipe was an easy pick. I'm excited about the Oriental Round Steak - it'll perk along in the slow-cooker while I'm babysitting and I'll come home to a yummy smelling house (I hope!). And I look forward to trying Shrimp Fra Diavolo, which I watched Giada De Laurentiis prepare last week. I really like her recipes. Good Eats is still my favorite cooking show, but I have tried a lot of Giada's recipes and been very pleased. They always have fun names and are usually easy.
