cook for my family

Alright, I’m determined to cook for my family this holiday season (but not necessarily Christmas dinner)! I think I’m more prepared than I was last year and I have some ideas on the things I want to introduce to the table this year… like CHEX MIX PUPPY CHOW, MANICOTTI FLORENTINE, or VEAL PARMESAN. Maybe some kind of soup as well? Because I personally love any kind of soup. :)

I’ve done this many times already. I’ve made dinner or lunch for my family whenever everyone else was too busy and they asked me to cook instead. However, it was always a simple task of recooking something or making pasta and this goal is more than just that kind of cooking.

... somewhere along the lines of a holiday meal. Maybe I’ll help out for Christmas? I want to find a recipe that’s easy to follow, but is something that my family has never eaten before.

1st idea:
Cheese-covered broccoli.

- just to snap them out of making bare steamed broccoli all the time. *gag *
