Country Fried Steak

Country Fried Steak is one of my favorite comfort foods of all times. It reminds me of my childhood. My Granny used to make it all the time for us on Sunday after church and for family dinners. Being raised in the South there was nothing better than a good home cooked meal. Not only is Country Fried Steak an easy meal it is also affordable.

Trust me when I say this is going to become a family favorite. I hadn’t made this since I became gluten...

Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner Lately

I think I’ve squeezed all my emotion out in the last two days in this space! I’m feeling lighter today, so no long monologue coming at you; though thanks for all your encouragement. I shouldn’t need it but sometimes it’s really nice to get some feed back to keep you going, you know? *hug* Switching gears, let’s chat about food.
