Please note! I am thinking about tweaking the format of our party each week to feature a different Food-“e”-Friend each week so that we can get to know each other a bit better. Here’s how it would work. I would randomize a list of regular participants to create a “schedule” for what date each participant would be featured. I would let each friend know what their feature date will be and send a few questions that will help us get to know you better. Then each week, instead of me sharing a recipe at the party, I will share about the featured friend for that week. Please let me know your thoughts…. it’s your party, too!
I think these Monday parties are “therapeutic” for me… I’m actually starting to look forward to Mondays now. :) Welcome, everyone!
If you are a new visitor, please check out our Make a Food-“e”-Friend (MAFF) Monday page for more information on what this party is all about.
Now, on to our party! Instead of previewing the food I’m bringing this week, since I shared about the possible new format, I will just link it below. Just a few reminders before linking:
1) You can link a recipe or any type of food-related blog post (including giveaways or free food coupon offers). Make sure you use the URL for the actual post and not your blog (or those interested in what you are sharing may not be able to find it if it’s not your most recent post and will miss out on what you wanted to share!).
2) Don’t forget to link back to this potluck party, using either a text link or the button image. This is important to help spread the word about the party and so all the great recipes that people are sharing can be found and enjoyed. To make it easier:
This party’s URL for a text link:

OR
Button linking back to this week’s party (highlight, copy and paste into your post):
3) If this is your first visit for a Monday party and you would like or need more information about the party or how to link-up, please click here. I’m so glad you joined us and hope you will come again next week!
4) Most of all, have fun and be sure to check out any recipes that interest you that others have brought to the party. (How else will you make new Food-“e”-Friends?!) Some weeks I am not able to make it around to all of the recipes, but I so enjoy seeing the different things that are shared at these parties and always check back when looking for new recipe ideas.
