Sharing Our Favorite Things – Our Favorite Recipes

We’re all familiar with the classic film, The Sound of Music and this line from the famous song, “When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don’t feel so bad…”  (You might even get a chuckle from this parody of the song!)

Since we’re all in this together, we thought it would be fun to share a few of our favorite things to bring a smile to your face and help you pass the time!

Our inaugural list includes some of the BOWA Team’s favorite recipes that were included in the cookbook we put together a few years ago honor of BOWA’s 30th anniversary – A Culinary Celebration.  Hope you find a few recipes to try out yourself! Bon Appétit!
