Hay Hay its Donna Day:  HHDD Event #27

I fell in love with Donna Hay a few years ago after spying her book, Modern Classics. I love the simplicity of your recipes, so fresh and so simple. When I started blogging a couple years ago, I stumbled about a lovely site, Winos and Foodies , I was delighted to learn that Barbara had a Hay Hay Donna Hay (HHDD) food blogging event. I participated whenever I could. Life becomes busy and we reach obstacles that unfortunately prevent us from doing the things we enjoy at times and in 2008, Barbara passed this event over to the talented Bron. Now, I am pleased to say, this batton has been passed down to Chez Us. We hope and strive to do an outstanding job just as Barbara and Bron did, by keeping it “Simple Made Simple”.
