Rubyellen, I just love your Family Meals series! My mouth always waters when I read it. I am particularly excited to see your tagine (I LOVE tagine). Also, the linguine recipe has inspired me to try fennel, something I haven’t ever really cooked with before> Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you am! I honestly don’t get much feed back on my family meal posts, so I never know if people like it. Despite that, I keep doing it because it keeps me accountable in planning meals, so if no one likes it, it will still be here! I’m thankful you like it though! And try fennel! It’s so good! We even eat it roasted with carrots and love it that way too!
I do the cooking and he does the cleaning. I do the shopping but he does the “I forgot” shopping. But late at night when the kids are in bed I do let him make me decaf coffee and kettle corn for a date night in. It is fun to have a partnership for getting it done!
Last week has been special because Ben's mom and sister were in town (they haven't been here in a few years), so we were relishing our time together. There was a lot of special grandmama time with the girls, and a lot of sister bonding time between Ben's sister and me. We saw them in Texas this past Christmas, but it's been awhile since they've been on our turf, so we are having fun hosting and cooking them some of our favorite foods. If you know us, well, more the girls and me (not Ben), the first thing on the agenda was take them to our favorite ice cream place, A la Minute. His mom and sister agreed that their ice cream is pretty terrific and the best they both ever had. There wasn't much on our agenda during their stay except spend quality time together. We did have plans to go to the Lavender Festival, but Ben's mom and sister got sick the last two days, so we had to scrap that idea. Thankfully, the festival will be going on next weekend, so Ben and I are hoping we can still take the two little ones. It was a fast 5 days with them and we look forward to seeing them again in July when they come back to drop off the big girls.
