Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces. ~Judith Viorst We enjoyed the beautiful fall week-end. Larry was off, and it was so nice just to have some time together, although we all had a bit of work to do. It was a fun and productive weekend! We had a few changes in our meal plan. Larry made "Larry Burgers" for us on Saturday. He made 8 burgers, so we're having the rest for supper tonight. We love chili burgers! So, my plans are to put together a pan of chili to make chili burgers tonight. Because Larry offered to cook burgers for us, I didn't make Emily's Creamy Beef Spaghetti Skillet, but my friend, Donna, said she did and got good reviews from her family. I'll have to try this recipe another week! For more great recipes, be sure to visit Emily's Marvelous Recipes . Lots of great recipes there! Donna also told me she had made a few batches of the Apple Muffi
