In the Kitchen with Crackerberries

Braciole


Breakfast and then some served right up hot
Join me in cooking; we'll chat and whatnot.

Sausage gravy on top of a biscuit,
Smooth without lumps, I always whisk it.

A side of grits with shredded cheddar;
Poached eggs on toast is even better.

Fresh squeezed orange juice with a plate full of fruit;
piping hot coffee in a bottomless mug, to boot.

Come into my kitchen and pull up a chair,
Tell me your story and let down your hair.

I’ll cook you a meal that's sure to satisfy,
when lunch rolls around the chicken I’ll fry.

Oven hot cornbread and fresh garden greens,
Macaroni and cheese and Boston baked beans

Sweet tea or lemonade in a tall glass
Some Vodka spritzer garnished with sassafras?

Come into my kitchen and sit right down,
I’ll fix up some lunch, get rid of that frown.

Italian Braciole and a plate of Spaghetti
Fresh garlic bread, with red wine ... do we need confetti?

Maybe you’d prefer something less filling,
Look, in the fridge, “Oh my!” its pie, chilling.

A lemon meringue or maybe key lime;
and strawberry shortcake if you have time.

A hot cup of tea with crisp sugar cookies
A little bit of everything, there’s all kinds of goodies.

Everyone is welcome in my kitchen you see,
Any kind of food  will be prepared by me.


Look for more cookbooks to come in the future.
