Hello everyone, I hope this week finds you all in good health and happy spirits. Here on the home front all is going well, or as well as it can be. As I always say why gripe about it, nobody can do anything about it but myself, so I always just put on a smile and go about my business and do the best I can with what I have in me. I enjoy finding old recipes that my mother, grandmother, and aunts have passed on to me. I love to cook and sometimes when I am typing these recipes up, I find myself sad because I just don’t have the time to cook like I used to. I thought as we got older, we were supposed to have more time than when we were younger. But honestly, I had more time when my youngest two children were home and I was a stay at home mom. I fixed a nice breakfast, lunch and a very nice dinner every night.
