Four Pieces

Four pieces. That's right - someone in my family ate four big pieces of chicken. A kid in the family and it was not the 8 yro or the 5 yro. Thanks to Aunt N. because I know it was your recipe in the book. Little E. loved the cracker crumbled chicken. He loved everything about it. He helped prepare it, with some help from Ziploc again and he loved eating it. Loved might be actually be an understatement. Every time I turned around, he was helping himself to some more chicken from the serving dish! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I finally made the celery soup from last week and although I enjoyed it, no creative name could convince D. and A. to try it. Little E. found another dish he enjoyed. He actually tossed his spoon to the side so he could drink it straight from the bowl. I love how 2 yro will try almost anything.

Also did the Beef with Broccoli, which tasted very much like a dish I already make. I think I will combine my original recipe with this new one to make an even better one. In my first post I stated that I was not good at substituting ingredients but is it really substituting to use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

I have one more recipe cooking this week. It seems I have raised a family of carnivores. Chicken just doesn't do it for them. Except for R. - he loves chicken - just ask anyone who has hosted us for a meal. Maybe that is where little E. gets it from. The others -nope - they need meat, so I have done the Beef w/ Scallions. This one has a picture in the book. Lets see if mine will look as pretty.

Not too bad!


Next week the kids have school vacation. One activity that will be on our list- baking! Hamentashen anyone?
