I

Hi everyone! I realize that it has been a very long time since I posted on my page. Since October 18, 2017, to be exact. Where have I been you ask? Well, in November of 2017, I started making one of my lifetime dreams come true. I rented a restaurant space. It took me until February of 2018 to get it cleaned up and ready to open. I opened April’s Kitchen on February 22, 2018, and have been going non-stop. Then mid-March, I made the decision to close temporarily due to the virus. I thought it would be a couple of weeks. While many restaurants remain open for carry-out or delivery, I didn’t want to take chances. I plan on reopening on the first of May, God willing!

Cooking Comfort Food

I have gotten some much-needed rest and am being creative in the kitchen so I don’t have to make any trip to the grocery that is not absolutely necessary. One dish I made recently was Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs with Green Beans and New Potatoes. It was delicious! It was also great because it was a one-pan dish.

Even though the dish had potatoes in it, I had a craving for some good ol’ Potato Salad so I made that too.
