I've actually made this recipe a few times before, pre-blog. It's not that it's so incredibly good, although it is tasty, but it's just a good way to use up the seedless raspberry jam that I always have left after Christmas. It does have an odd appearance due to the pink sauce. If you don't like sweetness in your savory dishes, you won't like this. I actually ate the leftovers for breakfast this morning and it was very good reheated too.

I really enjoy the Cooking Light Annuals. They don't have a lot of pictures and they can be a bit difficult to deal with, since they're organized by month but they do come with several good indexes to help you find recipes.

Blast From The Past: Out-of-This-World Waffles from just last week. I made another batch for my husband yesterday and used a cup of whole wheat flour in place of one cup of the AP flour. I ran out of AP flour but I think they were even better with the whole wheat flour. They were more flavorful. Next time, I'll add the ww flour and cut back on the oil a bit.

Question of the Day: Do you ever eat leftovers for breakfast?
