My kids can eat breaded chicken and chicken nuggets or fingers on any given day, all day, everyday. But me? After 2 weekends in a row I kind of get tired of frying chicken. Not that I don’t like it, because I do, but sometimes it just seems too boring. Same flavor, same texture, same […]
This last Friday we ate out. I know I know, what’s the big deal right? Well, if you’ve been reading my blog you know how I love having family dinners on Friday evening. I always cook and bake and set a nice table. But this Friday we took a turn on our way home; and […]
