The last two years I've been stuck in a rut because frankly, I hated that cooking and baking because such a chore because I had to cook all the time. I tried getting the kids involved but it just turned to chaos and I threw up my hands and gave up.
Well, no more. I'm going to do this and do this and make it fun. Kale has been a much bigger help recently in the kitchen besides just putting dishes away. He's really wanting to get in there and learn and this just may be the learning adventure we are both looking for. He's started baking, well doing the mixing part. He's a pro at making his own lunch or salad to go with our dinner. It's getting quite fabulous, so I can say that he's inspiring me to get back to my cooking roots!
We tried some new cookies for Valentine's Day, H and I don't really celebrate a day of love since we love each other everyday. But the kids like it and think it's special, so we do things with them like makes cards and bake cookies.
We used The Best-Ever Sugar Cookies from Taste of Home and they were so good. They weren't too sweet and they weren't the usual dried out sugar cookies we usually end up making. They were soft and fluffy and had the perfect taste. I'm thinking of making them again.
