It was a perfect warm and heartly meal for these turning-to-cool, rainy,  gray days.  He also found the perfect soft mini sub rolls to go with it… nice [...]

Menu for the Week…

Easter Brunch Menu, a la Granny…

Ham (Delicious!)
Scrambled Egg and Ham Casserole
Veggie Casserole
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
Cinnamon Rolls (Delicious!)
Fruit Salad

It was all a lovely brunch… And sometimes there is something to other people cooking and baking and not having to do anything oneself.    We just had leftover ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner, and I find myself a bit stuffed [...]
