Once a month I let each kid cook dinner for the family and I'm going to try to stick with Wednesday. So for now, I'm calling it "Whatever Wednesday" because I'm letting them pick whatever they want to cook - but still getting the mom seal of approval.
It was my son's turn tonight and he chose to cook his favorite meal for us - mushroom stuff and corn...and some angel hair pasta on my request....mmmmm! Mushroom stuff is just mushroom soup and ground beef. Who would have ever thought this would be a favorite of one of my kids, heck, all my kids love it. And Josh's was superb! I think it was a close even to mine, oh I'm so proud!!
And even though I want to keep this to Wednesdays, I'm giving in to my youngest and letting her cook for us tomorrow. She wants to fix chili dogs. How could I refuse? Dinner cooked for me two nights in a row - yea buddy! And, well, it's just awesome to watch my babies cook a home-cooked meal on their own and enjoy it! I feel good knowing that my kids will be able to leave our home someday and know how to cook for themselves and others.
It's moments like this that make me proud. It's moments like this that I treasure. It's moments like this that make me thank God for how blessed I am.
Oh, and you know what's even better? My husband will be supervising our 8-year-old tomorrow, yeehaw! Not that I don't want to, but you know when mom cooks almost every night of the week, it's good to get a break.
