Vegetables and Reading

Some thing great has happened in this house. S is a beginner reader. She reads short books and is expanding the list of words that are familiar to her. It's exciting. It caused us to take a trip to the library. This is something we haven't done in a while. We picked up some books for S to read to us at home. I love the idea of S reading to her little brothers at bed time, the three of them all snuggled up to Big Pig Can Dig.

While we were there, I was able to pick up a few books for myself that I have great dreams of finishing, but the reality is I'll probably have to skim through them. One cookbook in particular caught my eye. From Vegetables, With Love is a great cookbook. It's full of healthy meals that are fast and easy and- get this- yummy. The kids especially like the Tofu Scramble. We are going to try the apple pie recipe this weekend. If you're looking for some simple meal ideas this book is it.
