A Vegetarian Delight
“stay close to people who feel like sunshine” Today I feel like vegetables for dinner, my grandmother used to make this delicious summer vegetable dish; of course there isn’t a recipe to follow. I looked through my recipes and found a ratatouille recipes that I made in the past, so I did a mixture of…
Chicken Sausage over Polenta
“just another magic monday” Yes, another polenta and sausage recipe, Ronnie and Anthony told me that they could eat polenta everyday; I think they are very serious! I, on the other hand, would like something different, but it is easy, tasty and healthy, so why bother if they are happy. This time I switched it…
Another Beautiful Sunday

A Quiet Saturday Night
“whatever is good for the soul – do that” Ronnie and I are very rarely alone on the weekends, which we don’t mind. Our granddaughters slept over on Friday night; we did dinner and ice cream with them. It is always hectic when the 3 of them sleep over, but it’s well worth every special…
Everyone’s Favorite Chicken Cutlets
“recipes don’t work unless you use your heart” – Dylan Jones Ronnie and I are always arguing about who makes the best chicken cutlets. He insists his are better because he makes them really thin. I, on the other hand, believe my cutlets are better. We prepare our recipes very differently; he uses flour, I…
