Some of my favorite gifts have been thoughtful experiences rather than objects. Delicious dinners, dog walking for a month, facials, a yoga pass, surprise concert? Yes please. It's fun to dream up what would make someone's life a little easier or a little more fun.
For the month of February I'm cooking a family dinner three nights a week. It's a gift to an overworked mother of two young children. I'd like to share with you what I've done and the dinners I have in mind. If you like, you can cook along side me and give yourself a good excuse to get some healthy dinners on the table.
Week 1:
Wild Rice Casserole with a Big Salad
Week 2:
15 Minute Flounder with Simple Roasted Vegetables
Greek Salad with Farro and Kabobs (of your choice - chicken, fish, tofu)
Peanut Soba Noodles (using carrot and pea pods) with Cucumber Salad *warning this photo is from many moons ago but tastes great!
I'll be back to share weeks 3 and 4 - happy cooking!






Wow! These all look fabulous. And I actually think my kids would eat them...
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia! Please let me know what you try and and how your kids respond!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I just found your blog and am giddy with excitement - I plan to spend the evening browsing through your archives :) And wow, what an extremely nice thing to do for an overworked friend. Great idea!
