The Perfect Dinner Menu
So many of my fondest memories include food, and making dinner. I remember cooking from a young age. When I was living at home with my parents, and nine siblings we always tripled the recipe. Now we make enough so we can enjoy the same dinner for two nights. When I smell dinner cooking it can transport me to another time and place with fondness.
Another meal that is made with lots of love is Thanksgiving dinner. Eating leftovers for days is always a wonderful memory. Dunking a piece of turkey into mustard with lots of salt is so good. All the leftover pies, candied sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes with turkey gravy is amazing. Cassie and myself make a great team in the kitchen for any occasion. We will spend days cooking then in a matter of minutes it is all over but well worth the effort.
There are some foods that I could eat everyday. Mexican food and hamburgers are some of my favorite foods. Some foods that I call comfort foods would include roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. I also love homemade macaroni and cheese. I love to cook if I was going to make the perfect dinner this is probably what I would make. Here are the recipes so this dinner can be re-created.
