You know how they say the kitchen is the heart of the home? Yeah it's cliche, but I really felt it this week. Shelly's been into baking cookies lately. We go to the library, a booksale, she's looking for recipe books. She's baking. She found a chicken recipe and we gave it a shot, everyone liked it. Eli has taken up an interest in cookies and Archer found something online that he wanted to try. It all came together on Thursday night when I was cooking supper and the boys wanted to try their recipes and Shelly was putting together her lunch for the next day. There we were. Four of us happily crammed in together, working on our own things and lending a hand to each other as we went.
The result - Archer's gooey warm fried raviolis, Eli's rich chocolate cookies, Shelly's healthy delicious looking lunch. AND my beef stew which no one could eat because we were all too full from Archer's and Eli's treats to even consider eating the stew. Don't worry though, we warmed it up for dinner on Friday and everyone enjoyed it. So, that's a win-win-win-win! David got home from work in the middle of all of our cooking and I think he was a bit surprised to find all of us in the same room, usually everyone's off in their own corners of the house. But there we were, in the heart of our home, cozy and happy in our time together.
