Lets talk FOOD!!! Cooking takes me to a happy place. I could honestly sit and look at cookbooks or recipes online or food blogs for hours. It's becoming a bit of an obsession. I don't think I'm the best cook or the worst for that matter but I do know that cooking for my family makes me happy. I love to feed people, it fills my heart to fill their tummies! In my family we have family dinner every tues night. It's usually us, my parents and bro and sister in law. We try different recipes out on each other and it's so fun to get every one's input...even tho we all love food so it's highly unlikely that we wouldn't all like it and devour it! We aren't very good food critics lol There is nothing better then a family sitting down together over a home cooked meal and just enjoying each other's company talking and laughing:)
I think it's important to eat as a family. Most week nights we are eating together. I'm not judging people who don't but for us it's important. I know lots of people who don't ever use their tables to sit and eat and that's kinda a shame. Even tho nowadays Max doesn't usually sit thru the whole meal and rarely eats everything on his plate but I know that he'll remember these dinners. He'll come around eventually:) I can remember as a child when my Dad worked some odd ball shift and he was going into work not long after we got home from school we would have dinner early so we could eat with him. It was important to my parents and I still remember that.
I guess what I'm saying is even if the foods not the greatest it's about being a family. That is my #1 priority in life. So even if we aren't blood related I hope that if you sit at my dining room table and I cook for you I hope that you feel like family!
