Family of 13 ❤️ What we eat in a week + Mini Unboxing!

The joys of our weekly grind punctuated by "What's for dinner!" Mama plans the meals and Marc is a bit of a master chef in the kitchen and during this time when I am so busy with baby and other things he and the kids head up the dinner prep. I try to plan easy, economical, healthy meals. I learn so much from Marc when he cooks. I cooked for the first 20 years of our marriage and I guess my philosophy was "eat to live" instead of "live to eat". Marc on the other hand makes sure everything is so nicely chopped and cooked. I would love to be more involved in the cooking again but as I make my reentry into the kitchen I'm glad I have "chef Marc" teaching me his skills. He told a story about how when he was still a teen his brother had him cook for him and his date. Haha I bet it was lovely! When Marc and I were first married we would watch hours of cooking shows my mom had recorded on vhs from food network for me and my granny to watch. Our favorite cooks to watch were Jamie Oliver and Anthony Bourdain. As a kid both Marc and I would watch Yan Can Cook and Juila Child on PBS. He got to try cooking a lot because there wasn't always dinner planned at his house so he had his opportunity to get creative. My mom was SUPER faithful about making an amazing dinner every night (hence her recipe book) so I didn't get to cook much, but I sure learned what good food was! Happy Eating! #largefamilymeals
