Gwyneth Paltrow “My Father’s Daughter” Cookbook Review
I borrowed a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook “My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness” from the library.

Meatless Dinners
It’s funny. Growing up in a Catholic family, we used to have meatless Fridays, and not just during Lent either.
