At the very same tailgate feast, Sarah and Jim provided delicious BBQ Sauce made by a friend. Can you share the info on that good stuff? And let them know it’s made it into the eatprayread blogosphere!

Ivanka makes a delicious, healthy rice salad that went so beautifully with the pig roast tailgate party at the NU game. 
Ivanka, can you find time to type it out here – as a Comment? I will paste it into it’s own Post and we can all share and enjoy!
Thanks.

Janet and Linda both contribute to eatprayread – sometimes by just sharing a delicious recipe, or telling me about what they are reading.
Linda told me she keeps the original emailed list of books we shared in her purse! I used to do that too!
Janet gave so many of the “pray” inspirational titles from one of my first posts.
Thank you friends!
Pleasantly surprised that downtown Skokie has added a very fresh new cuisine offering.
