Making Lunch

I think we may have a little budding chef in our home. Atticus has been very insistant as of late about going beyond helping with making meals and wanting to actually make them. Most recently, he made me my lunch. I adore how much he was beaming about the opportunity to serve me.

Super proud of himself for making the salad :)

Tossing the salad with a fork. See the salad dressing? He made that all on his own. It was pretty tasty!

Proudly showing off his masterpiece that he brought to the table (and set the table) just for me. 

I sure do feel like one incredibly lucky mama. I love this little boy! It was a delicious salad. He has a knack for flavours. During lunch today he guessed which spices I had used in the sauce on our Quinoa Salad. Now, the trick will be to come up with menu/meal ideas that he can be a little more hands on with. If anyone has some ideas, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

Vegan Empanadas

Jason stumbled upon this Vegan Empanada recipe and so we, of course, needed to give it a shot. It was delicious! We made the dough using 100% Whole Wheat flour, but plan on giving Chickpea flour a shot next time we make it (and we will definitely be making it again!). The entire process is a little time intensive so we will be making a double batch all at once and freezing the left overs for an easy meal on a busy day. Can't wait to have them again!
