Last night I decided to make Asian chicken skewers with a peanut dipping sauce. They were a hit! I also made a side dish of Asian stir-fried green beans. The original recipe called for bok choy and I wish I would have stuck with that idea. The green beans were good, and Lord knows I have a ton of them to consume, but it just wasn't as good as the bok choy would have been. I also made coconut rice, yum!
I was so nice to sit around the table as a family, minus Sean who was at football practice. The kids really enjoy that and it gives us all a chance to communicate as a family and enjoy each others company. Soon Peter, my oldest, will be on his way out into this big world and I don't want to miss anymore time with him.
Thank you God for giving me such a beautiful family and the opportunity to spend time with them!
About Me
- Nan
- Born in Fairfield CA to a sailor and his wife, I have 5 siblings, all brothers! I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah on a very rare one acre of land. This is where I learned everything I know. I learned to garden, take care of a home and raise a family. Here I learned to trust God and to love my neighbor as myself. I learned to stand up for what I believe in and stand up for others who had no ability to stand up for themselves. I was taught to have "mutual respect", not ultimate authority. I learned to appreciate the little things in life and to respect all living things. It was in this humble home that I also learned the most important part of living, the complete circle of life which includes dying. My brother was born there and my mother died there. I will forever be connected to that place, I will carry it in my heart forever.
Mmmm, sounds yummy Nan! Would love the recipes if you are sharing. We've been so busy lately meals have taken a back seat and I'm ready to get out of our food rut. :) ~Diana
