We are finishing up our cooking week with a homey kind of dish that you might expect your mom or grandmother would make. This is especially true if you come from a very bland, non-ethnic background like I do. Growing up in our house, pasta was about as exotic as we would get. My mother would serve a plate of spaghetti with stewed tomatoes on top. I think my older sister still cooks mainly like our mother used to although she has reported cooking chili with grape jelly. Zounds!

I have to admit though, chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, and broccoli makes me happy.🙂
