Today I want to talk food, mainly comfort food. We all have our faves that we want when we are sick or down, or just to enjoy with family and friends. What's your favorite comfort food? Recently I have had the chance to taste a couple of dishes that were so amazingly delicious that I want to share the recipes and spread the love. The first dish to talk about is one that my sister made while she was visiting, and my family finished it off in no time. The second dish was prepared for my family by a special friend who wanted to bring over a meal to help out. Thank you Cindy, it was so tasty, and leftovers were non-existent. I'm going to add a recipe page to this site, so that I can add recipes whenever I feel the need to pass them along. You can find it in the Menu bar at the top of page. Enjoy!
