Kenney made dinner tonight.

We had fresh homemade applesauce that just finished cooking and toast with Nutella on it. I should have taken a picture.

Bread Bowls

I think I made soup for dinner every day this week. I finally made these bread bowls to go with our broccoli cheddar soup on Thursday. It was my second attempt at the bread bowls... let's just say I'm alot more patient with myself then I used to be when it comes to cooking. A failed attempt might have left me not touching the Bosch for a few months in a previous life. This time it just got me thinking how cooking/baking is a lot like life. We have to learn from our mistakes, which I have a hard time with. I don't want to make the mistakes, I just want to be able to know how to do it. I am grateful for our savior who allows us to let go of our pride, humble ourselves as we make those mistakes and improve on them.

Sister's

We had the sister's for dinner. I guess that's the wrong way to say that. How about, the sister's were in our home for dinner. I wish I had taken a picture of them washing the dishes and scrubbing my stove. It was great! I love that I don't have to go back in and clean up the kitchen. And I even just doctored up some leftover taco soup to feed them. They loved it - or at least they raved over it. I know they don't always have time to include service after their meals, but it was nice that it worked for them tonight.

Parsnips and Carrots

We had this delicious recipe tonight and enjoyed it. I really enjoy the flavor of parsnips they're just a little bit sweeter than a carrot.

stew

I thought about cooking these two up for dinner but I wasn't sure what type of spices to add.

A lesson on service

My good friend Jenny heard of my plight from last night and graciously offered to bring us dinner tonight. I've always been hesitant about accepting other's help, but I think it has been easier to let service run it's course while living away from home. While it's important to be the donor, I'm learning that sometimes you need to be the recipient. She brought us a wonderful meal that we all enjoyed. I'm so grateful for the relationships we've developed with so many great people here. I will always look back fondly on our time here. And not just because someone was nice enough to bring me dinner.
