Those of you who know me, you know what I like to watch...an example being Futurama...and Top Chef :) My husband and I occasionally like to challenge ourselves to some creative cooking. This last time I got the brilliant idea that we should use some of the random accumulation of food we had going in our cupboards...So, we raided the pantry and set some guidelines. I have to laugh looking back. This really was the least successful meal we've made. Oh, well :) It was fun! The Pantry RaidThe Challenge: Use two randomly assigned ingredients from "the pantry" Use the star ingredient, eggplant Follow the randomly assigned guidelines (ie Use of only one burner, use extra pantry item) Pass the child taste test (our harshest critics!) The IngredientsThe MealThe Verdict
The KidsThe real verdict comes from seeing what the kiddos thought of everything. When we asked the girls what they thought, we got some pretty frank answers (Oh, kids are funny!). Nothing was super successful, neither were impressed (there may have even been some fear in there). Although, they did manage to polish off the cream of wheat and enjoy some chicken. All in all, I'd say it was a tie, even if Audrey did say I won ;)
