So I normally don’t like to cook in my tiny galley style kitchen. (note to self next house to have big roomy kitchen)
However tonight while enjoying my husbands company in the kitchen making a quick meal I got this crazy idea to start a 30 day cooking blog challenge.
I try to plan out my family’s meals for the days between pay days. Now I like to eat out just as much as the next person I hate to do dishes and as I said before I dislike my tiny kitchen. Before I go to far tonight I feel I need to give you a little back ground into my wild family life.
I am a mother of three girls and a birth-mother to one amazing young woman. I try to be my husbands girlfriend on a daily basis. (got to keep things fresh) So the ages of my girls are like this 20, 17, 14, & 1…. I also have one son in law and two grand babies also age 1. Now my 20 year old,my son in law and my grand babies are not here with us because they serve our country with great pride. I call my 20 yr old Peanut, my 17 yr old Princess, my 14 yr. old Tinker Bell, and my 1 yr. old Little Bug. I don’t have a nick name for my son in law as I am just getting to know him, and my grand babies are Little jumping Beans. I will often refer to my husband as my Pool Boy or in some cases Big Daddy. ( he got that one from two of my girls this summer while on vacation… LOL)
Now back to my challenge… Today is day one, and Big Daddy and I made dinner together. I think cooking with Big Daddy is SEXY!! just my odd way of thinking.
Tonight’s dinner was a simple but goodie, a restaurant favorite of mine. Grilled steak with baked potato saute onions & mushrooms, & green beans.
Big Daddy maned the grill and chopped the onions. I took control of the baked potatoes, the green beans and sauteed the onions & mushrooms.
Below is a picture of Big Daddy’s plate.
So the above picture is not the best took it with my phone. I will try to use my camera for most of my posts in this challenge but every now and then it may just smell to good to run and get my camera and I may want to dig in right away. For instance tonight I had mine all cut up and in my mouth before I remembered I was going to start my blog challenge tonight… Thank God Big Daddy was still fixing his plate… LOL
Tomorrow I will share my menu with you all for the next 15 days..
I will also share a link with you to the blogs I pull a lot of my recipes from….
I am not a shopping wizard so I won’t share any tips on how to do that here as I have not a clue! I am just a busy mom with kids who keep me very busy and I hope young.
Until tomorrow
Happy Blogging and now Happy Cooking
