Tackle it Tuesday- A Cooking Lesson

Today is know as Tackle it Tuesday as I learned from one of my favorite blogs 5 Minutes for Mom. This week I decided to teach my four year old daughter how to make my Grandmother's Spaghetti Sauce. For the most part she was able to make it herself and I just cut the veggies and opened the cans for her. She was so proud to make it all by herself. She couldn't wait for her Dad to come home so she could tell him. She even called her Grandmother to brag about her cooking skills LOL. I think I have a little chef on my hands! I am so proud of her and it brought back many memories of my Grandmother making this sauce. I used to joke with her and call it "Ragu" and believe me she didn't like that. My family has come to love this spagahetti sauce and now it is also my husband's favorite...and he is Italian! I feel like I had a very productive Tuesday and my daughter and I had a wonderful time cooking together. We also have enough sauce for about six more dinners (it freezes really well)!!!

The Best Medicine...A Smile

I have been under the weather the last few days with a bad cold/sinus infection. I spent the day on the couch yesterday with a major sinus headache; not an easy thing to do with two girls playing around me all day. I felt guilty for making them stay in their playroom most of the day even though they were surrounded by toys and managed to trash the room. After a good night's sleep, I did wake up this morning feeling much better. I brought my oldest to school and headed to Dunkin Donuts with the little one. She ordered her favorite donut (and of course one for her sister after school) and I got a tea. As we were sitting in Dunkin Donuts I was people watching and sort of in a daze from the cold medicine. My little one just sat there and ate her donut with the biggest smile on her face. She looked at me with her precious smile and just kept saying mommy in her sweet little voice. She was looking at me with such love in her eyes and I knew it was the only medicine I needed. In fact it was the BEST MEDICINE!!!
