I’m going to switch up the regularly scheduled programming here to host a Carnival of Recipes.  This weekly event is kindly organized by Shawn Lea over at Everything and Nothing.  Since I’ve submitted my fair share of recipes in the past, I thought it was time to pitch in with hosting one myself.  My chosen theme was “Restaurant Recreations” since my favorite recipe I’ll be posting this week will be a recreation of a dessert I saw in a local bakery.  In anticipation of that post (going up tomorrow so come back to get a bellyful of the perfect edible treat for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day), here are several other bloggers’ recreations of some well-known and not-so-well-known restaurant offerings.
