Cooking adventures

Our family LOVES to cook! The kids almost always have a cookbook checked out from the library. Lately they have been wanting to make ethnic foods, so we have been letting them each choose a theme and make a meal once a month....



Seth made us a Chinese meal. It was so yummy! White rice, Chinese style cabbage, and egg drop soup. Seth was proud because he did it pretty much all on his own!


Sarah made us a Brazilian meal. Our friend is from Brazil and she had Sarah and I come help prepare the food for her daughter's birthday party.....after helping, Sarah was convinced she was a Brazilian Chef and wanted to make a traditional meal for us. She was so cute, she asked the librarian for "Brazil Cookbooks" and looked through all of them before making her choice.
She made us traditional Brazilian candy, Pork with a yummy citrus marinade, and cilantro-lime rice. It was super tasty!


Whenever Jimmy has a spare Saturday morning he likes to make the kids a special breakfast. The kids love helping him and he always so patient with them. This week he taught Sarah and Luke how to make biscuits from scratch and let them do most of it! They so excited to help daddy!
