I am loving the Dinner Tonight blog on Martha Stewart, from the editors of Everyday Food magazine. The recipes mainly come from the magazine, but there have been a few new ones posted here and there.

I love a good sale, so when the local store had potatoes on sale for a good price, we bought a couple of 10-lb bags, knowing that they’ll most likely keep through the winter months. What to do with all those spuds? My first order of business was a nice batch of creamy potato soup. [...]
