Ladies! I hope everyone is doing well around here!
I'm loving being home and having time to try new recipes. And I'm also enjoying watching "The Chew"!

My three sons!

Sunday - fend for yourself
Monday - boneless, baked and stuffed chicken (stuffed with bacon, cheese and onion), side of brussel sprouts
