Cooking & Baking

he's making Taco cups... that'll be interesting! But because he's honed in on one aspect of dinner (namely, the taco cups) I went to the store to get the makings for spanish rice and refried beans to make it a more balanced meal. Trying to teach this kid about food groupings, carbs vs proteins, and how colors, spices, and herbs can come into play when cooking. I'm even creating a cookbook just for him. Hea, it's the same method I used to teach his Grandpa to use a computer and specific software!

Tuesday, the temp here is suppose to be almost 90 degrees. Wow! So... I decided it was time to break out a deep summer dish. I'll pick up a rotisserie chicken, shred it, mix it with a lot of good salad fixings and mix all that together with rotini pasta. Add a good bread, and it'll be a satisfying meal with not a lot of heat in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, we've been going bonkers on baking cookies... chocolate chip and iced sugar cookies. So, we'll have plenty of those for desserts (I hope there'll be plenty left, anyway!)
