I ran across this post close to a year ago when I first started following this site. I cannot tell you how many times I have made this recipe. It is beyond easy and is always a HUGE hit with everyone! Make Life Delicious outdid herself with this one!

This one from The Wednesday Chef: http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2008/09/bruschetta-di-p.html Not only a gorgeous recipe, but the description is brimming with enthusiasm and love for the food and people. Also shows what can be done with the simplest of ingredients.

I have to second this nomination. A shocking, hilarious, and refreshing reminder that not every recipe goes according to plan. Nice use of video, music and text elements, as well:

The post title for A Veggie Venture was supposed to say “Never BUY Salad Dressing Again.” LOL, do you think that was a Freudian slip on my part. I need to read the post again!
