As the days turn colder, the family craves meat. This Sunday morning, I awoke to a quiet house. The children were asleep in their beds, our Golden, Stella was knocking on the door because my husband had put her out when he left for work. I showered and dressed. I sipped my morning coffee and plotted the week's meal plan.
