Jazzie is cooking

Jasmine has decided to start cooking whole dinners. This is her second this week. Earlier this week she bought some potatoes and onions from the little farmer's market at our CSA pick-up. She's been selling basil from our garden and so had cash in hand. That evening, she made mashed potatoes, sauted onions, green beans, and a salad with tuna, feta cheese. and olives. It was delicious.

Today she is expanding her cooking skills dramatically. A couple of days ago I let her know we could watch You Tube cooking videos about anything she wanted to cook. She choose home-made macaroni and cheese and Challah. She had me write down the recipes and called Mari and Jewel and invited them to dinner, Wednesday (today) evening. Today she did it. She made Challah, homemade macaroni and cheese, green beans, a fruit salad, a Caesar salad, and a bowl of cherries. Isn't she just amazing! And just as I am so tired of cooking and was manifesting some help in this area.

Our company came and enjoyed the delicious dinner and then we all played 7 Days in Europe and had a wonderful time.

Thank you for your comment. I recently started blogging and I'm not sure if anyone's reading or not so it's great to hear that someone is.
