Chicken Lasagna Bundles
Just like many of you my life has been really busy for the past several days. Italy is just around the corner, so I've spent all of my spare time making sure that was taken care of. Naturally, I just HAD to make a weekend excursion to see the...
Corned Beef and Cabbage with Horseradish Sauce
It's March and we're all Irish. I'm Irish at heart. You can ask anyone who really knows me. When and why I became fascinated with anything having to do with St. Patrick's Day and Ireland I do not know. It seems that I always have...

Marilyn’s Wild Ducks with Blackberry Sauce
The wood ducks have been back for a few weeks now. They take up residence each year during mid to late winter in the small pond behind our house. It always surprises us when they appear - why I don't know. Maybe we just don't have enough faith...
