I know it won’t last long pretty soon the hummingbirds will be stopping by for breakfast and we have a couple of squirrels who for some reason seem to peck at each other ALL … Continue reading quick chicken parm
We should eat more fish – I think this a lot but yet we really don’t eat it very often and that makes me sad. We live in New England and although our coastline is pretty small; not that that matters; we still have one and we all love eating most kinds of fish; my daughter is the only one in the family that likes … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa

Just a few ideas of how to show a little kindness in our area can go a long way! And it seems our country is in dire need of some kindness. Her only hesitation was sending it after … Continue reading Chicken and Pasta bake

Not sure about your area in this crazy world but flower delivery is not considered an essential business, not that I ever got flower’s for mothers day delivered.
