3. Mamma Viv's

Got this recipe years ago from the mother of friend. It's exceptionally satisfying on a cold, snowy winter day. (presently 4 degrees and snowing since I got up this morning)

Cook a 3-4 lb. chicken in a big pot with coarsely chopped carrots, celery, onions, and some whole black peppercorns. When chicken is done drain and save stock and pick the chicken. Put chicken back in pot with stock. Put on the stove on lowest heat, cover, and let be.

Sauté 3-4 finely diced carrots, a diced rib of celery, 3-4 minced garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons butter until soft. Then add to the chicken and stock.

Either use 2 jars of your favorite marinara sauce or use 2 28oz cans of crushed tomatoes and make your own sauce. Add marinara sauce to the chicken pot.

Grate @3/4 cup of parmesan and add to the pot.

Add 1 cup of uncooked white or brown rice to the pot and simmer until the rice is cooked.

Top with additional parmesan and enjoy.

5. Tuna salad sandwich

on whole wheat
a warmed up corn on the cob

there will be more leftovers later, but don't know what yet

TJ has gone to her hotel and then to work so it is just me and the Duckster waiting for the storm.

6. Snow day here in Nashville, followed by ice.

We may all be stuck at home for the next few days, so I took a 3-lb. boneless turkey breast out of the freezer and I'm cooking it in my crockpot on a bed of onions, sweet potato, little white turnips, and daikon. Added broth and will make gravy. Enough for the next few days but will probably freeze some for later. Strawberries for dessert.

7. Chicken breast tenders with honey mustard dip,

corn, and baked sweet potato that we grew in our garden last summer.

Snowing pretty heavy now. We got out of the casino when the snow started. I lost $2.95, and Loretta won $3.00. So together we won 5 cents, and got out of the house for four hours.
