Dealing with One of Those Days
Over the weekend, I had one of those days. You know the kind where things just don’t work out. I love cooking and lined up a few meals to cook for the family. Breakfast was good. The family enjoyed the eggs, fresh hash browns, sausage and toast. Afterwards, I started peeling apples for some fresh… Read More
