I have had some great helpers when it comes to cooking lately. Shortly after finding out we were pregnant I decided to do myself (and my family a favor) and make some freezer meals for those nights I didn't want to cook. So while Isaac was napping one day, Benjamin, Jonny, and I made 6 trays of Sour Cream Enchiladas. We each had a job to do, and it was a lot of fun.
Jonny was in charge of putting the chicken on and Ben was in charge of the cheese. I took care of the sauce and rolling them up. We have already enjoyed 4 of the 6 trays, and the kids keep asking for more. I think Jonny and Ben did a GREAT JOB!Shortly thereafter, the boys were wanting some homemade cookies on a Sunday night and I was wanting to lie on the couch. So Jeff volunteered to make cookies. (Sidenote: Jeff has only made cookies like twice since we got married, so this was not the norm!)
Somehow my cookie recipe had disappeared and when I tried to explain it to Jeff it became apparent that I was making it worse. Luckily, one of our friends makes GREAT chocolate chip cookies, so a short phone call later and Jeff was ready to bake. Of course all the boys wanted to help!
Don't they look like they are having a great time. It was a fun Sunday activity, and I especially enjoyed watching the entire process from my comfortably spot on the couch!
