Spoiler Alert!

I was in such of state of shock after watching this week’s episode of The Good Wife, entitled “Dramatics, Your Honor.” Dramatic, indeed. I was truly blown away.

I’m very impressed by all their recipes, especially since many of them contain foods that seem intimidating to prepare (at least for me). Quinoa, tofu, beans – yikes. I think I want to skip all the work and just go to their houses to eat. Amy went to a lot of effort and preparation. I’m in awe. Poor thing did have a mess to clean up – that alone would have me eating raw vegetables and grilling the next day. Check out the good, the bad and the ugly below. Also be sure to visit Amy’s blog, Hot Breakfast. Amy is another multidimensional blogger, writing about such varied topics such as love & marriage, pop culture, fitness, food & drink, shopping, and travel. Great stuff!
