Our 3rd Anniversary Time for a Friends Get Together
March is when we celebrate our 3rd anniversary of writing our blog, “Advice from Rose and Lyssa Marie.” We hope you have enjoyed reading the blog as we have had writing it. Thank you for sharing our journey with us.
This month we thought would be a good time for you to have a friends get together. Catch up and relax. Have them over for a movie night a nice comfort food dinner. An easy dinner would be Pasta, Beef, Tomatoes and Green Beans. If you are a vegetarian you can use a either Gardein Beefless Ground, Lighlife Smart Ground Original or Yves Veggie Original Veggie Ground Round instead of ground beef. This is so easy and quick to make. For dessert another easy dish would be a Homemade Pazooki or Cookie Sundae
The movie we thought would be good to watch with friends is the movie Beaches. Either the 1988 version with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey or the current 2017 Lifetime remake of Beaches with Idina Menzel and Nia Long. You can watch both and compare the two movies. Whichever one you want to watch or choose a movie of your own.
1988
2017
What ever you do we hope you have a good time.
