DINNER IS SERVED

As I was making up my last two week menu, Silas asked if he could make dinner one night. Our kids often help in the kitchen and he's cooked or baked on his own several times, but he's never made an entire meal. Until last night, that is.

The menu consisted of enchiladas (he created the recipe), peas & corn (bags from the freezer), and a lemon pie (a recipe we found). It was all delicious!! I'll get the new recipes posted at some point this week at FOR THE LOVE OF GRUB, but for now I'll show you some pics of the chef and baker in action. Please excuse the horrible lighting.

Silas and the meal he prepared.


Silas' comment after seeing all the food, which happened to have a green and yellow color them, together on the table was "I think this is a meal the Ducks would like". Funny guy.

You can read his version of the evening right here.

Great job, Silas!!!! It all looks really yummy! Every young man should know how to cook :)

My girls started out in the kitchen really young, too, and both are terrific cooks now.

It's great that he's getting cooking skills at a young age. The days I spent baking with my mom are some of the best memories I have.

P.S. - Indeed we Ducks would like the green and yellow meal theme:)
