I don’t know, perhaps it’s a new trend. I serve all my homemade meals with a one-plate concept, but I keep the ingredients separate.

I didn’t. The chef did.

So true, but it worked very well with chicken too.

Thank you. 🌷🌷🌷

Our car now has summer tires and hubby and I drove to the mall for dinner. Hubby wanted to try something new, (that’s why he looks a bit worried). We chose grilled chicken breast with Béarnaise sauce, mash and sautéed vegetables and a fresh side salad. The verdict: a decent meal! 🍜

Today is the time to get rid of the winter tires… the weather forecast calls for sleet and cold for the weekend! 🤷‍♀️ The spring weather is always so fickle!
