Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Toast

Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Toast / Bev Cooks

Favorite dinner alert! And I mean it. Give me anything with a melted mozzarella smothering-style blanket and I’m sold.

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I mean BRRRRRRRR. (<–sorry) Okay, when was the last time you thought about a rabbit’s foot?! Like, not attached to the rabbit, that is. A keychain rabbit’s foot. A LUCKY CHARM.

Frrrrrrrrrrrreederleedeeeee! Well we’re nine days into January. The new year. How are you all feeling? Motivated? Overwhelmed? Fresh? Anxious? A little giddy? A little rundown? Same. I don’t do resolutions. Never ever have. It’s too much pressure and they make me cranky. And I’m already perimenopausal so we’re simply having none of it. Don’t get […]
