When all is ready, it’s time to build the Benedict. First, put the toasted English muffins on a plate..

It’s cold outside, snow most everywhere, and our nation is in mourning. A good time to be cozy in the house wearing a cuddly sweater, hair tied back, little if any make-up, and a good book. 
, pop the tomatoes with a spoon then add the cans of V8 Juice, about a cup of water and more garlic salt and parsley to taste.
heat for a few minutes and serve with a salad and crusty, buttered bread.
Enjoy while either sipping Cognac and, or Champagne.
Having fun yet? I sure did!
Okay! Let’s do both! First! Pour yourself a glass of bubbly or whatever it is that you enjoy that will assist you in getting into the ‘baking’ mood. 
most wonderful relish to be used on many things. And I put this delight in and on my ‘Cranberry Everything’ muffins and bread. Umm…. so actually, do the cranberry thingy at least, the night before ‘bake day’.
I use PAM SPRAY to make sure there’s no sticking. I Then put some in a muffin pan and some in a bread pan and I bake them together in a 325 degree oven. 
The bread will bake for about an hour in total.
…or ice cream. Great for breakfast, a snack, or for dessert…
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE AND ESPECIALLY TO WOMEN EXPLODE READERS!!!
I got into ‘occasionally’ having an ice cream treat, because it was so hot outside. An ice cream cone or a homemade ice cream sandwiche or even bites out of the carton was just what I needed on a hot afternoon. Then I needed it before I went to bed. Then instead of occasionally, I wanted one or even two treats a day.
To begin, put five slices of center cut bacon on a papertowel, then into the microwave for five minutes. I don’t use a microwave often, but for crispy bacon, it’s the best and the papertowels absorb the grease. Perfection!
saute all the vegetables in the Brummel and Brown yogurt butter, add the splash of lemon juice, along with about a glass of white wine, and garlic salt to taste and parsley. Simmer while you continue preparation, taking sips of wine and nibbling cheese and olives as you go. Prepare the frozen peas in microwave as directed on the package, then pour into bowl and mix with butter, add salt and pepper to taste. Now, that I think about it, I do use the microwave several times in preparation of this dish.
Boil water, add olive oil and salt then add spinach noodles. Boil three to five minutes, making sure not to over cook.
When noodles are al dente, drain. Then in a large bowl combine the noodles and vegetables including the peas. Add a bit more garlic salt, parsley, and also more wine and butter and a generous sprinkling of Parmesian Cheese. Toss then place pieces of Havarti cheese on top. Place the bowl in the microwave for a minute to a minute and a half, until the Havarti is melted. 
Crumble the crisp bacon strips then sprinkle on top. 
In my need for ‘comfort’ food, I decided to make a variation of my Mother’s Spaghetti sauce. I recall comi
ng home from school and smelling its fabulous aroma. Makes me hungry and full of warm feelings, just thinking about it.
Add a splash of lemon juice, about a cup of red wine and the cans of diced tomatos and tomato puree. Bring to a bubby simmer then cover and simmer on low for, at least, two hours. So, the spices get all intermingled. I have simmered it as long as all afternoon… the longer the better.
Then bring to a boil then back to simmer, then simmer 30 to 45 minutes longer or until the vegetables are soft. There are many varitions, sometimes, I add black olives or artickoke hearts.
That’s Italia!
