Next the hearts get lightly sautéed until tender with delicious ingredients like shallots, olive oil, bay leaf and thyme. One shortcut is to pick up fresh pasta from the market. Also, you could easily substitute other vegetables like broccoli, peas or even roasted butternut squash. The family members love the dish which is topped with a luscious butter and lemon sauce.

Adoption Ever After - Amelia, Hayden and Harriet - Home & Family

Adoption Ever After
Today, Larissa introduces a beautiful Dutch Shepherd named “Berlin” who is currently in Seattle at DogGone Seattle. He is 3 years old and takes cues well from other Alpha dogs, but would also be good as an only dog with an active family that enjoy outdoor activities.
Berlin is a bit hesitant around younger children but would do well with older kids.

Larissa shares some puppy love with three 8 week old puppies, Amelia, Hayden and Harriet who are a Shepherd and Great Dane mix. They are available for adoption from Paw Works in Los Angeles. These little ones have lots of energy and will require lots of TLC and training!

To get more information about the puppies, please visit Pawworks.org
