Boy Am I Tired

I am tired today. Yesterday in my kitchen, my mom & I cooked...a lot. We roasted a chicken in the crockpot. I started making my batch of chocolate chip cookies for all the birthdays coming up.Then we used it to make chicken salad, chicken wraps, and chicken enchilada soup. We started bone broth in the crockpot with onions, carrots, thyme, garlic and other herbs. While that was going we made homemade dog food. Yes, my dog is spoiled! Before bed we began soaking our whole wheat flour for biscuits tomorrow morning. All I can say is that I am tired!

Dad's Birthday Dinner

This week is my dad's birthday and so we are going to make a dish from the Barefoot Contessa. Patstitsio is a kind of Greek lasagna and it just sounds yummy! He has also requested instead of traditional cake an old family favorite that my grandmother makes...Oreo Cookie Cake! Maybe I'll share the recipe next time. :-)
