After spending another dreary winter Sunday with not much to do I decided our family needed an exciting activity. I thought I needed a break from planning dinner so Id give myself a break and give them an activity.
I told my children that they were in charge of dinner tonight. Theyd each need to prepare one part of the meal- their choice. Three of my four children were home and quite excited about the prospect of dinner plans. Even my sixteen year old son, who only gets excited about playing hockey was in to it. My husband wasnt as keen on the idea.
Each of my children started their dinner plans. They ran to the computer to locate good recipes. I sent them to Simply Delicious ( http://dateable.com/simplydelicious/) where they found some good recipes. They pulled out cookbooks and ran to find their supplies. Of course, what I thought would be a treat for me turned into a bit of extra work but watching everyone scurrying around the kitchen was fun.
My husband didnt realize I meant business and when he returned to the kitchen I told him if he wanted dinner he too needed to bring something to the meal. Hes not much of a cook so he took out our dusty juice maker and went to work. He used up a good amount of old fruit and resurrected the use of the juice maker.
What started out as a boring Sunday became a wonderful way for our family to spend quality time together. The kids learned some new recipes and were back to using our juice maker!!
