This is going to sound really ridiculous, but I just love toast. Anyway you slice it — bad pun intended — it's just delicious and fulfilling. To celebrate my love for toast I thought it would be fun to give one of you folks a brand new toaster! However I should mention, this toaster is not just any toaster. It's the new Breville Smart Toaster and includes several neat features including a smart one-touch lowering system, a "lift and look" feature" and a "just a bit more" button.

The chicken is served atop a bed of Spring greens making it a seasonal meal, perfect for a Sunday night dinner. To take a look at the recipe — it pairs perfectly with a buttery Chardonnay — read more
Yummy Link: Ginger Ice Cream
I haven't taken my ice cream maker out of winter hibernation. However, when I saw this recipe for homemade ginger ice cream, I knew it was time to dust it off, clean it out, and get churning. — The Kitchen Sink
