Sunday Menu

I finally sat down this week and began to write out my recipes.  I have been tracking how much I spend on food this year, and consistently, I am at under $12 a day.  This includes three meals a day and a random sweet treat.  As I put this together my mind explodes with ideas …

I got this

I have said my whole life that while I am eating one meal, I am thinking about the next.  I just love food!  But in the past year, I have had my best relationship ever, with it. In September of last year I found myself in hospital with sixth nerve palsy.  I was away in …
