Loved those pics Mary.  So nice to have two budding chefs in the house!

Thanks!  I hope they continue to be interested in cooking!  I love to cook & bake so I'm trying to teach them.  I told DS he has to try different spices but he is wary  :-/.  DS is working on fractions now so if a recipe calls for 1 cup, I'll give him a different sized measuring cup and have him tell me how many he needs.  Lots of learning :)

Garlic brown sugar chicken, roasted potatoes and green beans.  You'd think I'm trying to poison DS and he chokes down each bite....

Ooooh, what is garlic brown sugar chicken?

I got this recipe from Pinterest:
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 500°F and lightly grease a casserole dish.
In small sauté pan, sauté garlic with the oil until tender.
Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar.
Place chicken breasts in a prepared baking dish and cover with the garlic and brown sugar mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes.

I feel super country about this, but tonight we'll be having sausage gravy and biscuits.

Good idea hopechap!

DH & DD made pancakes and bacon.  I had toast and bacon.  I'm not a big fan of pancakes.  DH offered to make something else but the kids were excited to have breakfast for dinner.

Stir fried chicken, veggies and buckwheat noodles (sadly, not safe, but DS is away at school so we indulged).

Chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, inspired by McC.  Yum!  Took forever, but good.  It turned into a big quantity, and only dh and I ate it.  I think it should freeze well.

I made a quiche earlier this week.  Loaded it with so much broccoli and spinach(as well as some ham, onions and cheese) that it overflowed.  It was good.  I make egg muffins that are basically crustless quiche.  The crust(refined carbs plus fat) is the most unhealthy part if you otherwise load it with veggies.  I also use milk, not cream.  I sometimes cut back on yolks as well.

I make the muffins almost every sunday to have for breakfest during the week.   They are in the oven now, kale and mushroom - with put some cheese (not much) on top.     :)

Roast boneless leg of lamb, rubbed with rosemary, garlic, butter, olive oil, salt and pepper, roasted over a bed of baby red potatoes with similar seasoning.  Spring mix salad with balsamic dressing, green beans, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. 

I think the whole neighborhood will be smelling the garlic from our house!
