They are fluffy and flavorful and taste just as good as your ...
Spa Day…Yaaaay!
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3) My last post described how stressed and run down I was feeling. What a difference a few days make!

Corned beef sales increase as Saint Patrick's Day approaches, but it's a wonderful main dish to serve at any time of the year.
