Happy birthday to your husband! Stacy, that is exactly the spirit of Fearless Friday. You made a meal that took more effort than normal, not completely sure of the results.
For some people Fearless Friday would be using an appliance other than the microwave or coffee pot. We all have different boundaries we've used to define our experience. Pushing against those broadens our horizons.

Well, I don't know if it qualifies as "fearless," but I tried Heather's glazed chicken recipe from this week ON my husband's birthday. I totally messed it up in the first try, but started over and it was good. I'm not a big fan of sweet or glazed meats, sweet and sour, etc., but I liked this very much. I put more effort into this meal than into most others because each thing I made was newish for me. I made Heather's roasted vegetables, which I've made again since and like very much. I also made mashed potatoes. Okay, that doesn't sound too daring, but I've honestly only made them from scratch two or three times and a couple of those times weren't very good. These were good though. Also, I tried making a pizza cookie. There's a pizza place here in CA that has a dessert called a "Pizzooki" or something like that. It's cookie dough spread out onto a pizza pan made for a group to share. I made that with vanilla ice cream on the side for company. It was good.

I think it would have been delicious with a gooey hot fudge topping, but that would totally defeat the purpose of going dairy free in the first place. I will be giving a similar recipe a try sometime down the road, as I loved the texture.

I have to head to Whole Foods soon anyhow, so I will definitely be giving this recipe a try. Thank you!

Way to go! I haven't made lamb in so long. I was recently talking to a lady who reminded me of a cabbage and lamb soup I made once (it's Norwegian). I think I'm going to have to make it again.

There are a few places I don't go, brains, kidney, liver, and chitlins pretty much top the list.

My daughter's preschool had lots of children with allergies and I was able to find this awesome recipe for a nut-, dairy-, soy-, egg-free chocolate cake. You do need to buy special chocolate chips w/o dairy & soy in it (I found some at Whole Foods), but that's the only special ingredient http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Egg-Free-Dairy-Free-...

I was fearless on Friday, and for company! Lamb chops, which I love love love but haven't tried making before. Turns out you can broil them and it's not so bad.

Oh Heather, I must ask — Have you any easy recipes for brains?
