New Traditions!

A few weeks ago Brent and I were sitting around on a Sunday (a little bored) and Brent came up with an idea that we would watch an episode of "Giada at Home" and no matter what she made we had to make that for dinner. The entire meal! So we sat down, took notes, made a trip to the store, then got into the kitchen to make our meal. We decided to make this a family event, including Brayden and Keely, doing what they could to help. We had SO much fun and the meal was SO good! We couldn't resist we had to go for it again the next week. So for the past few weeks we have been turning our Sunday's into a family cooking day. What a wonderful way to spend time together as a family and learn some new delicious recipes! It's a tradition we're trying instill for 2011, wish us luck! Here are a few that we've tried so far:

Episode: More for Less

Lemon Chicken Soup with Spaghetti

Pea Pesto Crostini

Lemon-Mint Cake with Lemon Syrup

Episode: Progressive Dinner Party

Roasted Pork with Smoky Red Pepper

Garlic and Cheese Popovers

Lemony White Bean and Arugula Salad

Chef Keely

Sugar and spice makes everything nice!
