We have a new favorite dressing thanks to Munchkin and her online cooking class. Lately, we’ve been trying to stay away from packaged salad dressing, so it’s nice to have a new dressing to add to our homemade dressing recipes. Munchkin prefers the homemade ranch dressing, but Daddy and I really enjoyed the poppy seed dressing. We look forward to having the warm chicken salad with poppy seed dressing as part of our normal menu plan. It will be quite refreshing this summer with fresh veggies from the farmer’s market.

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. On a side note: I learned that it’s actually brussels sprouts not brussel…

Munchkin continues to play catch up with the online cooking class, and we’re enjoying the fruits of her labor. Today, Munchkin tackled homemade chicken broth & chicken noodle soup. She is very picky with soup, and she gave herself two thumbs up on this lesson. Daddy and I had to agree. Daddy is excited because he’ll get to take the leftover soup for lunch tomorrow. Yum!!

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.

This week’s assignment for our online cooking class was Lemon & Rosemary Roast Chicken. We paired it with homemade steak fries and tin foil carrots from the previous lessons. The chicken was absolutely delicious, and D was happy to take the leftovers in his lunch today. We saved the carcass as we’ll be using that in next week’s lesson.
