I admit it. I'm addicted to the Food Channel. ("Hello, my name is Nancy. I'm a Food Channel Addict." | "Hello, Nancy!") I'm particularly interested lately in 30-Minute Meals with Rachel Ray, mostly because with my schedule of book production, 30 minutes is the most anybody's going to get out of me for food preparation. If that.

Trixie (aka PandaBear) sent me these recipes today from the Food Network's website. Start with the quick chicken and noodle soup, then be sure to click on the links to the right, which include a decadent-looking mixed grill (these ain't your momma's grilled cheese sandwiches) and chocolate cafe au lait.

I think I'm going to go make the soup for tonight. My tooth still hurts from the mega-filling I had done late last week (including "cementing" a cracked tooth together).
