Hearty Czech Meal

My Granny was a Czech Mama!

She had many wonderful gifts.

One of her greatest gifts

she shared was her cooking

and baking!

She was a fabulous cook!

She always kept all who

were blessed to enter her home

full with love and food!

A simple Czech meal!

Potatoes mixed with sauteed onions,

sausage and homemade bread!

Of course not pictured on the side

are peaches, pickles and a simple salad.

Simple

Yes

Good

Yes Yes Yes

And for those of you asking......

YES

I did bake the bread!

Ain't it Purty!

I Miss You Granny!
