Life doesn't get much easier than meals where you open packages, shred leftover chicken and dump them all into a casserole. In this case it doesn't get much more delicious either!!
I didn't post a Weekly Menu for the last couple of weeks. Life got swamped and it got away from me. As a result we have been eating a lot of carryout, fast food and sometimes even a bowl of cereal for dinner. Life is starting to calm down a bit now but will remain pretty busy throughout the Lenten Season.
This means it is even more important to plan my meals or I just find myself resorting to the above measures. I found this photo in Google images and it just cracked me up......

When we talk about the wines of Provence, we immediately think of Rose. After all, Rosé from Provence is some of the best in the world. It was a wine from Provence that taught me just how wonderful Rosé can be.Prior to that, being from Michigan, USA, I thought Rosé equalled the sweet pink wine we refer to as White Zinfandel.

My husband is very predictable. Whenever I am making him a special dinner he asks for either Filet Mignon with Zip Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots or Chicken Marsala, Fettuccine Alfredo and Glazed Carrots. Every. Single. Time. for the past 30 years.
When you think of John Legend you may think of his music, which is amazingly beautiful. You may think of his role on The Voice where he playfully and charmingly banters with Blake Shelton. You might think about his marriage to actress, Chrissy Tiegen, or maybe you remember that he was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the most influential people in 2017.
But do you think of wine when you think of John Legend?

This slow simmered ragu starts with pork stew that braises in red wine and pureed tomatoes on the stove top until the pork starts shredding when stirred. I served it over orechiette so that those "little ears" caught every bit of the ragu. Paired with a lovely bottle of Nero d'Avola it made for a perfect Sunday Supper.
We were blessed to have our second daughter, Nicole, over for lunch on Tuesday to celebrate her birthday.

We were pleased that she spent her only day off with us this past week.
