a day in the kitchen with my kids!

Ok today was just spent in the kitchen, it was beautiful outside and the windows were all open, it was not hot, a nice breeze was coming in and it was the perfect cooking day!So when i wike up i decided to make some waffles and that led to huh.... making

zucchini bread and then i though.. i will prep my dinner which consisted of thi huge awsome moist flavorful meatloaf wrapped in(if you know me you know the answer!) BACON! cuz bacon is good!

yes i wrapped this puppy and under this pig belly there is meat mixed with romano cheese and herbs and bread soaked in milk and ah.... just so good! To go with it i used the left over zucchini as a vegetable to be a side dish and i made this amazing califlower puree! its so good! you simmer califower in butter and milk and heavy cream them add salt and pepper and then you blend it into this puree!fabulous!then i went to the market and i don't know why i came back with a crab!Yeah... my kids thoughi was the coolest mom ever!

this dungeouness crab was big ..looks small there but if you know the size of my sink... you know its big!

So the kids played with it and i did too (i had so much fun!)
