I was busily balancing the checkbook this evening against our bank statement and didn't want to be interrupted in the middle of what I was doing, so I asked DS to cook dinner for us all. And he did! He made 'Spaghetti Aglio e Olio' (Spaghetti With Garlic and Oil) from a recipe he knows and has made before -- on the label of a bottle of an olive oil bottle we have in our pantry. All by himself I might add, and adding his very own embellishments (spices he selected himself, plus some frozen mixed veggies thrown in as well -- so pleased that he enjoys and is comfortable cooking). It was delicious and I will definitely be requesting it of him again soon! It was so successful, I'm wondering if we can add to his recipe repertoire -- I'll try to think of some other kid-chef friendly meal dishes he could prepare on busy nights....
