One of the best presents that Shawn got for Christmas was this cookbook that his Mom gave him. At least I think so. Ever since Christmas, he's been trying out a bunch of recipes. I have definitely been a beneficiary!
He's been grocery shopping for the ingredients, writing out weekly meal plans, and obviously, coming home and cooking dinner. (Occasionally I will get started on something that he has planned if he's running a little late, but mostly it's been all Shawn.) Awesome for me, huh?
So far, everything that we've tried has been really good, too.
Sundays have really been big cooking days, because he whips up a batch or two of muesli to have for breakfast during the week, and also a pan of "rice cakes" or energy bars to also for the week. (I hate to use the term rice cakes because they are nothing like the dry, crunchy rice cakes at the grocery store, but that is what they are called in the book.)
Yep, that one recipe book has meant that all sorts of good things are coming out of my kitchen, and most of them have nothing to do with me.
Today, I guess Jonas got inspired by all of the Sunday cooking as well, so he whipped up a batch of muddy buddies to go along with the healthy stuff. (Too bad for me. Those muddy buddies are addictive!)
Before any of you get too jealous or anything, don't worry, this is all about to come to a screeching halt. See, the swim season wraps up this week, and that means it's time for water polo season to start. We are all excited about that at our house, but Shawn won't even be around for dinner for the next 3 months. It's been nice while it's lasted, but all good things must come to an end, right? And who knows, maybe he'll pick it back up a little after water polo is over?
