My son Charles favorite meal is chicken strips with Mac n cheese fed is most important  my purpose with this blog is to share basic quick &easy recipes to make for your family  I’ve personally eaten each and personally made each  This is not the art of French cooking; this is the art of feeding a family! Here’s how to do that with regular food found at the local market   Before my stroke put me into early retirement I worked full time in B2B software sales in a jobwhich required a lot of travel so
