recipe of the week

I think it's best to wait and see how this goes. If this peaks a lot of interest then we'll consider a sticky Same for the Lunch thread

no worries Rouge thanks for the quick reply

Cashew Chicken Serves 4

1 onion
1 garlic clove or 1 tsp minced garlic

Just an idea too, in threads like this recipes can get lost very easily (which is why I often don't post recipes in the "whats for dinner" thread), which is why we have slow cooker recipe threads, pizza recipe threads, slice recipe threads and so fourth. It's a great idea but just keep in mind the recipes could get lost I don't know if you want to post the recipes elsewhere and then link back? I'm not sure.

i was thinking of every week starting a new thread so probably best not to sticky as it would get very cluttered i imagine and then the first post has a link back to week 1, week 2, week 3 ect ~ did that make sense?

There's a possibility though that threads like this get culled. I'm pretty sure the "What's for dinner" thread does.

ah i get you now, maybe members could copy and paste the recipes to word and set up a folder for BB recipes or just recipes or print them out and have a folder thats what i do

I prefer the recipes online myself Makes it easy to locate.
