This time around I decided it was time for PV to learn to read a recipe. Normally I just get all the ingredients out and tell her what to add and when. I had her read it to me and also participate in mixing it up. She did well and so I decided she could make the box potatoes for supper. We decided to go easy on supper this night so Betty Crocker Au Gratin potatoes it was! I also made her clean up her mess and rinse the dishes.
After we were done she looks at me and asks the following.
"Mom, does cooking make you relax?"
"Yes, usually."
"Me too."
That makes me very happy! :) Big joys in little packages! That's what life is about isn't it?
We hope you enjoy this recipe. Our family found it to be very yummy with vanilla ice cream! I did cook mine longer than the 30 minutes, it was juicy, but oh so good!
Thanks for stopping by!

It's great that she loves helping in the kitchen. Certainly, I can't think of anything better than blackberries - field picked they're about the most delicious things on earth!
