Rescue for Little Bunny Foo-Foo

Chicken Piccata
Thought I would try a Domestic God post like my sister Rose. For Sunday dinner I made the family Chicken Piccata, Lemon Butter Noodles, and Steamed Broccoli. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken breast. It adds a lot of flavor. The saltiness of the capers and bitterness of the lemon juice […]

That day came. Time to leave our cabin hanging on the mountain. We had a great week in the Smoky Mountains, but we have to return home to make money to pay for it all. Why does everything cost money? We wake up early and start moving around the place. We packed the night before, […]
