Woke up to daughter being a rock star.
Every morning one of the first things I do is dishes. I also do them usually
once after dinner. Last night I didn’t so I had more to wash.
I love this. It’s in our kitchen and I’m reminded every day.
Played game with daughter.
The drive to my dad’s in the afternoon
My nieces. Puca is right behind me, can’t see her.
Niece being silly..
It looks very different here in the summer.
Had my step-moms meatballs and pasta for dinner. Yes, I had
pasta two days in a row.  It was yummy!
Opened gifts.
My brother with his nieces. <3
My father, StepMother, Nieces and Daughter.
We had minty ice cream treats.
Ended the night with “Love you”, Thank you, Hugs and Kisses
and drove home.
I miss them already. During a rough week it’s so nice to be with family.
Hope all is well for everyone!

Family Recipes = Breaded Portabella Mushrooms – Grandma L.

Posted on by Lisa C.

From my family recipe book with Grandma’s Card we made……

Yummy! It was a hit. We dipped them in pasta sauce. Good!

Grandmother wrote out this recipe card for us when my husband was vegetarian. He is no longer vegetarian and he does not like mushrooms so we never had the chance to make it. On christmas eve we decided to make them for my sister in law who is a vegetarian and they were a hit!  So good! We dipped them in pasta sauce. We will be making this again. We did add garlic and parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs.
