Today I am making a simple and quick dinner since my mom and I are sewing new covers for the cushions in the porch...there just isn't enough time to spend in the kitchen today. We will be haaving Chicken Tettrazini, Garlic Bread and Chocolate Pound Cake with Chocolate Glaze for dessert. The tettrazini seems like it would be hard but it's quick to make and sooo yummy, especially leftovers!!
