Pizza Casserole for Remarkably Bright Creatures and the Weekly Menu

 
Back in 2023, I read the novel Remarkably Bright Creatures.  I enjoyed the novel so much that I suggested it for our Lit Happens Book Club and was inspired to make a Chicken with Mushrooms recipe that I shared along with my Book Review.

RV Life-2026 Edition-Holland State Park

Day 1- We left Sunday morning after Mass for our first RV adventure of the season.  We headed west to Holland, on the shores of Lake Michigan, where we set up camp at the Holland State Park.  As soon as we were set up, we headed back an hour to Kalamazoo to see our friend Sister MaryAnn.  We picked up pizza on the way and had a short but lovely visit.  We got back in time for the sunset.

The Quail and Olive Citrus Beet Salad, A Book Review, and the Weekly Menu

 I took the Angel Face to California in March.  We had a great time visiting with my brother and his family, going to the beaches, and traveling the Pacific Coast Highway.  On our way back to the San Francisco Airport, we stopped in Monterey for a night to visit with my friend, Camilla.

People in store

We met at The Quail and Olive, owned by Cam's friend, Analeise.  It is a lovely store, and I excitedly picked out some products to ship home.
