Recently I visited my niece in Upstate N.Y. and she invited me to lunch.
I couldn't believe it when I got there and she had made something so similar I posted a while back it was mind-boggling how much we cook alike, her peppers and spinach dish was fantastic!
We never knew that each other made this type of dish before. Since I live in Florida and her in New York, we see each other maybe once a year.
I want to repost and dedicate this blog post to her, as she is battling breast cancer.

Anyone out there going through the same thing we are all praying for a cure for breast cancer for everyone.
Her courage and strength is an inspiration to all woman who battles this disease to stay strong, eat right and keep fighting and most of all keep loving life and enjoying family that's her main focus, to believe and encourage others.
