Feeding My Family = Love

I love to cook, but I rarely get to do it. I do prepare three meals everyday, but they don't count as "cooking" in my book. This past Sunday I got to prepare a yummy meal for our extended family. I spent hours in the kitchen and was in absolute heaven while I peeled potatoes, simmered green beans and made miniature meat loaves. For me, cooking is relaxing - almost a meditation, and to serve that food to the people I love makes me truly happy. While I was preparing this meal, I kept acknowledging to myself that this is something I love to do and rarely make time for, and I actually thought about taking a picture when it was all done to post on the blog. However, by the time the food was ready there were two very young children who were not interested in waiting for mommy to find the camera (and the memory card) and so you'll just have to use your imagination to picture how it all turned out. Two girls from our play group just had babies, and I signed up to bring them dinner, so I'm looking forward to some more opportunities to take time for something that truly brings me pleasure.
