Day 11

I love cooking for my family. When I was single, my friends used to call me up and ask me what was for dinner, knowing that I was preparing something delicious, even  if I wasn't entertaining. Since I got married, I have pretty much cooked from scratch every meal we have eaten, 1) to save money and 2) for the sheer joy of it and 3) for the satisfaction of knowing my family (esp. my husband) appreciates my home cooked meals. Today, after tucking the twins into their beds for their naps, I proceeded to the kitchen to make a dessert for dinner. After sifting through my recipe box for something that I hadn't made yet, I came upon a recipe for Banana Cream Pie. To my delight, I had all of the ingredients and I think it came our beautifully. I can't wait to unveil it tonight and watch my family's faces as they devour what I know will be a delicious treat!
