Yummy chicken and cherry recipes
By Paula Dream (AKA Kale Haygood)
Hello to all of you with cabin fever! I hope you have escaped the virus. Despite having cabin fever, you are like me enjoying the lighter traffic on the freeways, Yes, I too have picked up the pounds!
Thankfully fall is here and the cooler weather. Hope you enjoy these recipes, especially the potato chowder. My mother would make this chowder particularly in the fall and winter, and there were never any leftovers.
Talking through this damn mask, I wish you all safety and good eats.
