The Best of the Web for some Seasonal Weekend Inspiration

It's the end of the week! TGIF! We don't know about you, but for us that means we'll be cooking up a feast. And that's not even a metaphor - a number of our friends helped us out with petsitting while we were on vacation, and so this weekend we're thanking them by literally making a feast. While we were going through the web trying to find some great recipes to cook, some really stood out, so we thought we'd make it easy for you to decide what to make by sharing those recipes here.

All of these are great for this time of year, and while they may take a little bit more time than the traditional weeknight dinner, the extra effort sure seems to be worth it based on these pictures.

So give some of these a look and see what strikes your fancy - and if you make any this weekend let us know how it turned out!
