    I love bananas. Where I use to work people would bring me their bananas that were very ripe. I love them when they get that way. So very sweet... Some days I would have as many as 5. I am so happy for you. Nice haul and congratulations on your gifts. How nice. Take care .💞

    The chicken I probably eat for more than one meal and perhaps add vegetables or some other spices the second time to not make it taste all the same. You can also serve it with rice one time or pasta another or something like that.

    • @makingendsmeet
      @makingendsmeet  Год назад +1

      Hey my friend! Hope you and your family are well. Thanks for the great suggestions, that's a good idea to add some other veggies or spices to change up the taste... it's quite a large bag, so definitely enough chicken I think to stretch it out for 2-3 meals. Hope you have a good week😊💕

    Very nice haul and wonderful gifts today. The chicken with pomodora sauce can be served with pasta, rice and even risotto. Pomodoro is basically just tomato sauce with herbs added. My mother in law made this a lot. I’ve never had it with chicken, but I bet it’s amazing. You’ll have to let us know how you used it and how it tastes. Was lots of fun watching the taste test. I said right away Chips Ahoy are my favorite.
    Thanks so much for sharing with us, my sweet friend. Have a great day. 🥰
