Hello friends and readers of the Mountaineer Echo. I hope this week finds you all in good health and happy spirits. All is well on the home front with us. Nothing special going on, just working, and raising these boys and spending as much time with the granddaughters and family as possible. I am going to do some very easy recipes this week because I like good food, but I like good food that is east to prepare as well. These are some good quick and easy recipes, so maybe you can have a nice meal and enjoy more time with the family or doing something you been putting off for a while. Always Remember The Little Things in Life!
