We were lucky to celebrate a later Mother’s Day this past weekend with Glenn’s mom and the icing on the cake was a delicious dinner planned and cooked (mostly by the kids). The two misses decided on the menu, helped to pick out all of the elements and then had to put it all away; which was their least favourite part and who can blame them. What was on the menu? Maple plank salmon from the barbeque, mashed sweet potatoes, grilled asparagus, carrots and broccoli. Oh, they also figured out dessert – berries on sponge with cream. Originally they wanted to make the cake themselves but we had to say no because we don’t have a good GF sponge recipe.
Miss E was thrilled to get to chop the produce under Grammy’s supervision. Miss K is old hat at the chopping bit. This time though she tried something new. Glenn got her helping to cook the asparagus and fish on the barbeque. She was tickled pink. If I am honest, so was I. I can see in the future the potential to not have to cook every single dinner!!! Yippee!!
