]]> It’s been a long weekend. Remodeling bathrooms leading to numerous trips to the hardware store, planning a trip in the near future, weather finally working out to leave windows open. Instead of having something nice and light for a summer afternoon meal, I have a chicken roasting in the oven. Can’t wait for some great old-fashioned comfort food. The house smells wonderful already.

I “summered up” this roast chicken by using thyme, rosemary, and oregano from my garden. I also threw in a few peppers from the garden with my celery, carrots, and onion bed the chicken is sitting on. Yum!

]]> Tonight is the first weeknight after daylight savings time began.  It was nice coming home to the sun beating into the house.  It reminded me that I don’t have to work from dusk to dawn all year long!  For dinner, I pulled out the other half of a homemade dinner I made several weeks ago.  Today, it’s very easy to buy frozen ravioli from the store.  Our company produces it’s own brand of ravioli…offering cheese filled and meat filled versions.  Why not make your own?  Have you made homemade pasta?  If so, why not make pasta, fill the pasta, and freeze it for future use?  I made 20 2inx2in ravioli squares.  5 will feed someone quite well.  That left us with two meals.

Great weeknight meal made from scratch.
