dinner
I have to wonder if this is a dying tradition, to eat dinner as a family at the table. TV off, home cooked meal, everyone talking, laughing, sharing tidbits about their day. Now I should admit, I did not do this growing up. Living with my mom who was on her own in the kid raising department and working long hours to support us, dinner was often me cooking or fend for ourselves. She and I ate in front of the TV. She still made time for catching up on my day and I don’t feel like I missed out...
I found another great recipe from my father’s collection! I was cleaning up the office and this one fell out from a book, like it was calling to me! I have to share that I have not personally made this recipe yet, but I remember it fondly! I’m planning on cooking this during the week and will post pics once I have. His recipes are always fun to decipher as he has them written on napkins, envelopes, old cardboard packages and other random things. This one was written on an envelope and paper clipped to an empty bean bag. He...

This was soooooo good! It’s rare I find a recipe that everyone likes. Both the older boys, the hubby and I really loved this. I piled all the mushrooms on DH’s plate as the rest of us are anti-fungi, but it was delish! I served with a side of steamed peas. I also used low sodium chicken stock to make this healthier. This only took about 30 min start to finish! Super quick!!
