Bless me readers, for I have gone awol, it’s been 4 months since my last blog. I don’t have any legitimate excuses other than laziness and well, laziness.

Lentil “Meat” 3 Ways, #1 Italian Style Neatballs

What’s for Dinner Doc? A Weekly Menu
I can’t believe that December is upon us. I’m watching snow videos sent from Nevada while enjoying mild temperatures in Baja. I do miss a good blizzard but only if I don’t have to go anywhere. I hope my menu gives you a few ideas to try this week. Planning is everything when you’re committed…
