I am the child of yesterday
Looking for the warmth of the sun
Longing for the tenderness of the breeze
Listening for the footsteps
I am waiting patiently; waiting
Catherine

It sounds healthy and looks great but I don't think it's one I'll be trying...too many components in it that aren't liked by everyone in the household!! 🙁

Dear Catherine,
Love Caponata Salad, my dad and mom would make it home made years ago, but now they buy it in the jars or cans. It is not the same as making it homemade. I love your recipe and look forward to trying it. Also, the video is so beautiful showing all the flowers. They look so lovely as Spring will be here before you know it. Thanks you for sharing....
Blessings Dottie 🙂
