Chicken Parmesan the Way to Joe's Heart
This recipe is a "famous favorite" of the Giannetti family.
It's the perfect dish to serve for a quiet family dinner. Joe's family spends their Sunday's preparing for
family dinners. If they're lucky, there are left overs for some next-day chicken parm sandwiches.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin.
Salt black pepper
2 cups flour, season with salt and pepper
4 large eggs, beat, add 2 tablespoons water, salt and pepper

French Onion Soup
When you think about the changes of the season from summer to fall, everyone seems to go gaga over pumpkin spice and apples. For those of you with sweet tooth's, that's great but for some, we (and I mean me) are all about the soups, stews, and hearty, savory dishes. The sweaters get pulled out of the closets, the Dutch ovens and the crock pots get placed on the counter and the delightful dishes of the fall start making their way into dinner rotation.
One of my favorites is a good old French onion soup.

Nancy's famous french toast
NANCY'S FAMOUS BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Well at least in our family it's famous and it's to die for. Topped with your choice of or fresh blueberries or peach slices and/or home made maple syrup. (Um, I will confess that I will go for all of it, and do not feel any shame it it.) It's wonderful and delicious addition to a breakfast or brunch sit down. Everyone gets to sit down and enjoy at once since it's prepared the night before all that's left it to pop it into the oven then serve hot.
