Cooking this week

The other night I made an amazing eggplant Parmesan from my Betty Crocker cookbook that we got when we got engaged.  The dish was terrific.  So terrific that even child #1 liked it.  Amazing.  I don't make it often because it takes a long time to prepare, but I was very happy with the outcome.

The next night I made the Tart and Tangy Beans from the original Moosewood book.  It says serves 6-8 . . .  . I did not like it, nor did child #1 or child #2.  Luckily Adam liked it.  And he is eating it and eating it.  No one wants to help him out.

Tonight, I decided to make cheese blintzes (crepes).  Child #1 was asked to help me, and he lived up to the expectation.  We made the cheese filling, and then we made the batter for the crepe.  And then we made each crepe.  And he helped with the stove top.  He was able to run the spatula along the edge of the crepe, and when it was done, he would have me flip it out of the pan.  We made almost 20!

The crepes are cooking right now, and I know they will be great.  I made them from the Temple Beth El cookbook.  (Yes, Temple Beth El in Swampscott is no longer there, but the cookbook lives on.  Actually my mom has the original blue one. . . . I have the one from the 90's).

Can't wait for DINNER TIME!
