IF YOU CAN READ, YOU CAN COOK
It’s totally true! I love to cook, especially for my family and friends. I tell everyone the same thing, “I swear I’m not doing anything special.” Ok, that may not be entirely true, but the things I do are things anyone can do. I often start with a recipe and modify it to my taste or what I think my family will like. The results aren’t always great, but many times a new favorite is born. And to prove it, (this website was my husband’s idea) we have created this site to share what I do, why I do it and how you can do it too. Enjoy!
The latest recipe
Prep time / Cook time - too damn long! My husband sends me links to all sorts of recipes he wants me to make. Mostly I ignore them, or put them in the back of my mind, soon to be forgotten or replaced by something else. I finally decided to make one and start adding them to the site. My hope is to keep track of what was good and what looked great but didn't match in terms of taste. This one comes from Poppy O'Toole, you can see the video here- Didn't love this!

My favorite foods are always associated with a time or person in my life. In this case, Chicken Rollatini was a favorite of my Aunt Gerri, who was really a "great aunt" but was just Aunt Gerri to me. She made this from time to time and I've added it to my repertoire of favorite dinners to make. Prep time - 20 minutes / Cook time - 55 minutes 2 lbs. chicken cutlets sliced thin 2 beaten eggs 2 cups Italian flavored bread crumbs salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste Sliced mozzarella (enough slices for each cutlet) grated Italian cheese 1/2 lb.

Tinkering In The Kitchen
THIS IS A SECTION FOR THINGS WE LIKE TO MAKE, BUT aren’t necessarily an original recipe. EITHER WE’RE TRYING SOMETHING NEW, OR A NEW PERSON IS doing the making! IF I DECIDE TO MODIFY IT ENOUGH AND LIKE THE RESULT, I WILL ADD IT TO THE SITE WITH A RECIPE. IN THE MEANTIME, WE’RE JUST “TINKERING”!
Nothing spectacular or revolutionary here, just a reminder that when you have some ham, a few eggs and some random vegetables you like, you have everything you need for breakfast!
