I have been in a serious cooking rut, I mean serious. Cooking has just seemed so labor intensive for what it is worth....the time to actually prep, then to cook, then the cleaning, all for hearing a certain little someone say, " I don't like it".
Tonight was a dinner success, an A+ dinner for all of us. I made a cheesy, spinach, orzo bake from the cookbook, "The 6:00 scramble". It was a lot of cheese with red pasta sauce and frozen spinach mixed with ricotta and eggs. When I pulled it out of the oven, Kekoa said, "yummy"...that is always a good sign. He was so hungry he could barely wait for it to cool down before devouring it. He loved it, gave it a big thumbs up. I love that if it is green, Kekoa thinks it is pesto and will eat it all up. Malia devoured it too. I can't tell you how rewarding it felt to be sitting outside, enjoying the beautiful spring weather, while all of were eating the same meal. Yay!
The best part...easy clean up and even easier prep. I was able to get the whole dish together in about 20 minutes..easy peasy.
Maybe this will kick me out of my cooking rut...just maybe!
