Courtney Lee spent her allowance on a new cookbook last weekend, and that means that on Monday night, the girls cooked dinner for the whole family...
Mango Chicken Quesadillas. (Josh cooked the chicken on the BBQ.)
Mandarin Orange Salad. (She wouldn't quit sticking her head into every picture I tried to get of the Mandarin Orange Salad page.)
And Coated Ice Cream with Hot Chocolate.
And yes, I made a few executive decisions while grocery shopping in order to simplify the whole cooking process (Why make chocolate syrup when Hershey's already did such a good job of putting it in a bottle?) but other than that (and Josh cookig the chicken) the girls did it all.
And we ate a mighty-fine meal.


good job girls!! looks like a perfect meal.
Your tile looks great in the kitchen and I have to ask how you like your double oven.

What sweet girls you have!
My 10 year old daughter loved this post. She asked me to ask Courtney Lee (you) if she likes the cookbook. If she does, what's the name of it. Your sweet girls have inspired her to try making us a meal. The love is spreading to us.

Looks great! I also enjoyed your post on chores and pocket money this week - think I might try out that system too, as I think it might work, unlike the many other 'systems' I've tried to put in place.
