    I have a very special treat for you today. The lovely and talented Sandra from Sandra's Easy Cooking is guest posting today. If you have not read her blog I highly recommend you head over and do so.

    She is an amazing cook, recently she has taken on a more healthful approach to cooking. Sandra takes the most phenomenal photos, they are always so bright and gorgeous. Every single recipe makes me drool.

    Even the seafood recipes make me hungry, and I can't even eat seafood. You know she's doing something right when she can get this gal craving some shellfish. I wish I could sample every single recipe.

    She has made a lovely recipe to share with us today and I am ever grateful to her for agreeing to guest today. Without further ado, here is Sandra. Please make her feel welcome.

    Hello Everybody,
     
    I am Sandra, author of Sandra's Easy Cooking food blog where you can find pretty easy and simple recipes. I started this blogging adventure in middle of 2010 and just fell in love not only with blogging itself but with kindness of people that are very supportive around our food web.
     
    I see Kim as a kind, supportive, and funny person. Power of her posts would lift anybodies spirit and you leave her blog with huge smile on your face..am I right or what???
     
    I really adore and respect her as a blogger and a friend! As soon as I see that cannoli in a foodbuzz inbox I have to check it out!:)) Now let me share a recipe with mushrooms..yes, Kim don't like Mushrooms so here is one recipe that contain that exact ingredient..

    Okay so maybe I need to rethink my stance on mushrooms! This looks so good. I love how colorful and inviting Sandra's food is. She nails it every single time. I am so lucky to have met this beautiful soul through Foodbuzz. She is always kind and warm, always a cheerful word for you. I consider her a friend and know one day we will meet in person and never stop gabbing. She is just the kind of gal you feel you've known forever. A true friend and an amazing cook.

    While you are stopping by her blog, Sandra's Easy Cooking make sure you check out her right sidebar. Sandra has her own cookbook for sale. Also make sure you follow her on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook. You will want to hug me for introducing you to her. Just remember, Lunie doesn't do hugs. Germs remember. Ick! Thank me from a safe distance.

    Toodles and smoochies! xx

      Lol, I'll hand you the shrooms and the tomatoes. But that means if there's cupcakes for dessert I get half of yours. *smiles innocently*

      You are welcome. I love the accessibility of her recipes too. Food does not always need to require 25 steps and two days of prep.

      I tend to get sappy with my guests. Cannot help myself. If and when I get to meet people in person it's going to be embarrassing how wired I will be.

      I know right. I think they are so pretty and love looking at them. But put one on my plate and I'm like a little kid. It's weird too cuz we have a mushroom factory near us. Most of my friends worked summers there. I was like um, no. I adore Sandra and am so glad she gave everyone a recipe with something I don't usually use. Great for all you shroom fans.

      Boys....ew gross as "13 going on 30" movies says. Lol. Hubs does that with my tomatoes. He loves them. But I have to hand them over cuz if someone touches my plate they are getting a fork in their hand. Kim doesn't do germs or sharing food. I love that friends episode where "Joey doesn't share food". So funny.
