Saw several recipes we’d love to make. Is just two of us (besides 2 furry kidz and 5 chickens) so would need to make 1/2 of recipe and still have some good leftovers. Since hubs is chief cook and I’m bottle washer he’ll decide what we’ll have and when. I was practically drooling looking at all the delicious food. Thanks so much for getting all these great recipes rounded up for us all. Happy weekend
