in my family owned country style diner is what I have in mind for a career growing up. Every meal is personal and special as the recipes was passed on from generation to generation. We kept it to 5 branches within our hometown just to be able to monitor the quality of food that we serve.
Manning these diners together with my husband takes most of my time aside from raising 2 grown-up kids. But I make it a point to cook dinner for them thrice a week and on Sunday family dinners. I also see to it that I still get to attend school activities and PTA meetings.
Dinner at home is like a party for us as I usually prepare a feast with leftovers to be consumed the entire week. Talking about hitting multiple birds with one stone. So this dinner recipe that I will share happen to be a classic favorite.
