Little did I know when I married my husband that he was kind of amazing in the kitchen. I'm pretty much a recipe follower. I can improvise on spices and things for foods I've made a lot (like pasta or certain soups or meats) but for the most part, I need a recipe to follow. But Greg comes up with pretty amazing concoctions anytime he's in the kitchen....and he almost NEVER uses a recipe. He just throws in a little of this and a little of that. He doesn't get to cook often, being a busy, working father, but when he does, watch out!
What cracks me up about his cooking is that on some Saturday lunch time when I'd be throwing Top Ramen at the kids, I'll find him browning herbed chicken to go into a homemade alfredo sauce. I'll say, "Should we just do Top Ramen?" and he'll say something like, "No, I have zucchini grilling in the oven." Who am I to stop such progress? Last Mother's Day he and the kids surprised me with breakfast in bed and was it waffles, toast, pancakes? No (not that those wouldn't have been fabulous), it was cinnamon crepes with a curry shrimp filling... with all kinds of delectable fruits on the side. It tasted amazing. And he completely made it up. Anyway, I really love this particular hidden talent in my husband, and today was no exception!
So, anyway, the above picture is what I came down to for breakfast this morning. Crepes with a berry compote and freshly whipped cream.
I did catch an action shot...
Even Abby got to help!
Also, Maddie had some Achievement Day goals to pass off so she organized a multi-family get-together at a nearby park. Joel also had some cub scout stuff to pass off, so he organized all of the activities, including: races, bean bag tosses, a soccer game, and a nature walk.
