Ahh, young love. What better way to spend teenage adolescence than planning and cooking up a meal for some incredible men with your boyfriend under the scorning gaze of her fathers eye. It was Italian night at the Southside Health Center. Lasagna with warm buttered Italian Bread. Apple Pie and Homemade Chocolate Pie for desert with Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Whip Cream. Swifty wanted to include her boyfriend in the preparation and delivery. Conversation was minimal, mostly grunts and piercing looks if the young couple were within touching distance of each other. Overall, this was a great event and…

YHC picked up the February 22nd dinner duties for Breaking Bread. It was a simple affair – brauts and kielbasa, roasted potatoes, as well as roasted green beans. Also included a simple salad with dressing and everybody’s favorite, Costco cookies. Simple and delicious…the same words that my M uses to describe YHC. Ha! YHC was not able to stick around because the remaining 2.0 in the house had a basketball game. Thanks to @Oyster for keeping this volunteer activity going.
6 Breaking Bread regulars were met with excessive quantities of pasta, salad, rolls, and cookies. When Machismos family gets into it gets ugly. YHC and 2 2.0s led the delivery ops while the Machismos M did the meal prep. Mrs. M misread the cookie recipe that would have provided more than enough and she doubled it. Likewise when 1 tray of pasta and meatballs would have been plenty YHC brought two. 12 rolls would have been plenty but not for Machismo. He brought 24. You get the point. Upon opening the doors YHC was met with staff who politely led…
5 of the most wonderful people I know joined YHC to break bread with about 10 more amazing individuals. Warmarama: Pulled BBQ Chicken, ColeSlaw, Buns, Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Yams, Cookies, Tea and Lemonade. The Thang: With the unexpected warm weather, it was perfect timing for an old favorite. Hot off the Smoker – Pulled BBQ chicken, Mac & Cheese and a couple of other sides, dessert and drinks. It was the perfect comfort meal to share. Moleskin: One of my best friends from high school wanted to get the families together on Sunday. Well, I said, “I have…
Bottoms Up Pizza Friday night, The Craft Clan produced a wonderful grocery list for Breaking Bread. Knowing Flatline was working Saturday, the plan was laid out! After dinner, to the grocery store I went! Flatline’s M and 2.1 cooked the spaghetti and 2 pans made-Alfredo with broccoli and Marinara Sauce! Thank goodness for bagged Caesar’s salad x 3, 2 bags of cookies, Pepsi 2 Liter and 2L of Sweet Tea. All packed up and delivery at 1730. Willey provided delivery service and security for M. Providing for those that are less fortunate is a fantastic lesson for our children. For…
The Splinter abode planned and prepared a meal for Breaking Bread this past Sunday. After much discussion, chicken parmesan, green beans, biscuits, and cookie brownies were offered. After the aroma wafted through the car for the 17 minute drive to belt boulevard, we unloaded and served for this week’s guests. Moleskin Who knew there would be such passion towards football this Sunday? Prime Time appeared in his Eagles sweatshirt, prompting much discussion about the close games of the afternoon. Especially pleased was the gentleman wearing the Chiefs jacket, happy his team squeaked out yet another win. Oyster and Upchuck say…
My 16 yo 2.0 daughter helped me cook up a chicken BBQ feast with Mac n cheese and salad for the folks at The Daily Planet. She drove, we delivered. It was great to serve. If you haven’t done BB yet – sign up, tag team and do it.
For this evening’s meal, a family pasta classic was in order here. Cajun Chicken Polska Kielbasa Pasta in a cream sauce was the main dish. Had Salad, garlic bread as sides and Brownies for dessert. All homemade from scratch. This was an honor to prepare.

Saturday evening’s edition of Breaking Bread was a heaping helping of Mexican fare, with plenty of tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, seasoned ground beef and diced tomatoes and onions for all 12 being served. This was washed down w/ a few 2 liters of soda followed by a variety of cookies for dessert. Food was dropped off to a dimly-lit room, with a more-talkative-than-usual bunch, greeting & thanking us while checking out some college football. The M and I then headed out for a hot date. Side note: Apparently, you should date your M or someone else will. Perhaps the coolest…
