Wonderful Tacos

I previously posted about the wonderful gift Bug's teachers presented to the mother's of the class via a Mother's Day Tea.

Part of that gift was a class "cookbook".

The teachers asked each student what their favorite meal was and then wrote verbatim the children's version of that recipe.

Our son chose Tacos.

His recipe was so cute, I thought I would share. Here it is:


Wonderful Tacos

First you cook the beans. Open the can and pour it in a black pan. Turn the stove on and walk away. (Wow, I wonder why he thinks you walk away. I never turn the stove on and walk away.....) But, come back to check if it's ready so it won't burn. Don't cook the cheese because it's supposed to be cold. Next, you cook the peppers. Cut them up and put them in the pan. Put the peppers and beans inside a taco shell and put the cheese on. Then get a drink and eat it for dinner. I like tacos. I like every part of them.




Isn't that precious? I love it.




Thank you JrK teachers. This is a forever memory.

Banana Bread, Chocolate and Trains

Welcome to whimsical Wednesday a little late. Yes, it's been that kind of week.


My son had an interesting homework assignment this week.

He was instructed to cook something with bananas. And, since it just so happened I had rotting (oops, I mean overly ripe) bananas on the counter, we made banana bread.




Yeah, Bug's eyes are closed but my camera batteries were dying so I had to go with it.





Now, since this was a homework assignment, the kid's had to help. So, Mommy was brave and let them operate the mixer. Thankfully, we didn't have any mishaps. And, with my children, that is nothing but answered prayer!



Of course, in my house, we add a secret ingredient to banana bread.





That's right. We put chocolate chips in the bread. I have to give Bug credit for this one. It was his idea.




And, thanks to a Christmas present from Grammy, we were able to do something else special with the bread.









We cooked it in a train pan.




The finished result......












Very cool banana bread. Thanks Grammy, the pan was a big hit! And, the kid's actually enjoyed their homework assignment.

Stay tuned as a new Love Letter to the King will be posted on Monday.
