I've been a little too bored lately....it makes me want to cook all the time. We all know what kind of cycle that starts: Dirty dishes, sticky floors, more dirty dishes, extra love handles on the hips, etc... I love cooking and by no means am I complaining about the dirty dishes because I am so thankful that we have food. The new recipe I am going to try this week is Pasta e Fagioli soup. We'll see how that turns out. I got an amazing recipe from a friend for a different kind of Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were amazing but only one of my kids will them because they are too chocolatey....can you believe...too much chocolate for a 11 and 5 year old? It really boggles my mind cause when I was that age I could eat chocolate like there was no tomorrow. Now I don't like it as much either and really when I discovered that, it was a sad day:( Anyway, new recipes is a good thing for me to try when I'm bored although I am not sure if my family truly appreciates all the newness. I must say though that they are troopers with all the stuff I put in front of them to eat. My pickiest eater is....ME. So I get to decide what we eat and I figure it's kind of a bonus for me!
Tomorrow I get to go shopping with my Mom and sister! It is really the highlight of my week. Mom is going Christmas shopping and we get to help. (Really it's Christmas shopping without spending my own money!) I know that I will have to start my own shopping soon...hopefully next week. The kids gave us a great list! I love how practical they are. (New pajamas, a lamp, Lego, alarm clock were a few of the items) Don't get me wrong, they would love the DSi Xlarge or something like that but we informed them that a purchase like that, they would have to save their own money. We can't keep up buying new games for the systems that they already own!
