Day 6: The way to their hearts...

Day 6's challenge was to make/buy my boys their favorite food. I should have been more prepared for this, and it was bad luck that it fell on Sunday so there could be no buying involved. They had to choose from things in the house to eat. Instead asking E what his favorite food was (and therefore having him name a food I didn't have and couldn't get which leads to a fit instead of closeness...), I allowed him to eat pretty much whatever he wanted yesterday. Lucky for me, Easton loves fruit and vegetables, so it wasn't the junk fest most parents would imagine. I don't think this one did much for us as far as feeling close and building our relationship. I might repeat this challenge on a day when we can go out to eat or make a trip to the store.
What did Kade choose? Nachos. Of all the things....he chose nachos. So, after church I made him (and myself) a gigantic plate of delicious nachos. It was actually a very good choice. Our tummies thanked us.

I cook for my family a lot and try to make yummy, healthy meals that my family enjoys. So, I don't feel like this challenge was particularly great for us. If I didn't cook or bake everyday, then I can see how this would be more beneficial. After all, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach right?  But I will say that I'm pretty sure Kade's favorite part about me being a stay at home mom is that fact that he has a home cooked meal waiting on the table almost every night when he gets home. I enjoy cooking for my family and trying new recipes. I'd love to know--- what meal do you make that is always a crowd-pleaser?
