Cooking Class: Parmesan Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling

Munchkin made another lovely meal from her online cooking class, and we’re delightfully stuffed from this very satisfying meal. Munchkin prepared parmesan chicken breasts with roasted brussels sprouts and potatoes. The potatoes were an add on since we had some baby red potatoes that needed to be used. The whole meal turned out really well. I had her make extra, so she’ll be able to use it in the salad she has planned for tomorrow. Daddy also wanted another meal to take with him for lunch tomorrow.

Cooking Class: Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas

Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling

Munchkin is playing catch up with the online cooking class. Two weeks ago, I was sick. Last week, we were out of town. This week, we had just gotten back in town. Today, for lunch, Munchkin decided to do the lesson with chicken & cheese quesadillas. We were thrilled to find some full size brown rice tortillas at Trader Joes yesterday. Normally, we need to use small corn tortillas, so these were a real treat. Everything was very tasty, and Munchkin was thrilled that she was able to help out as Daddy and I were busy working on the house.
