My purpose

Dinner time in our family has always been an important time for all five us to sit together an unwind with some great food and wonderful company. Since the start of our relationship Chad and I have always enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen. Chad has a great passion and talent for food, and he has definitely passed on his love of cooking to me. Some of my favorite memories are around the table. For the next year our challenge is to write on here each night about our dinner experiences, and of course the recipes. When the year is all said and done our hope is to turn the blog into a keepsake book for each one of our children. I hope they always remember the importance of eating dinner as a family.

A Great Day

The Menu

Mommy's Meatloaf

baked potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower


Tonight's dinner was wonderful! It was nice to all be home together and enjoying some great food. The kids and I rested around the house all day today as Jaxson is still recovering. We will most likely lay low for the week. Since last week turned into a fast food week, we were all craving some good home cooked food. All three kids love meatloaf, so dinner tonight was a no brainer. Tonight Kaylee was my sous chef. I try to involve the kids as much as possible while cooking. After dinner tonight we headed outdoors where Chad and the kids played ball. What a great start to our week!
