Classic chicken dinner. 4/16/26
Meatloaf was on the menu tonight but since I had pigged out on the spaghetti and cabbage last night I decided to forego the red meat tonight. Chicken dinner is always a winner here!
Pasta and cabbage. 4/15/26

It is always enjoyable to eat one of John’s perfectly grilled hamburgers with my favorite fixings, mayo, ketchup, and onion! I helped out by making a salad. It feels like summer is almost here!

Pork chops, mashed potatoes, broccoli. 4/3/26
We don’t have pork often because “the other white meat” is so devoid of fat that it is almost impossible to cook it without drying it out. I was really feeling like trying pork again so John reluctantly went to … Continue reading
