Six kids, two dogs, three horses, lots of cats, several chickens... working on a goat. Tons of fun. Lots of laundry. Not much time. Even less money. No sleep at all. Any recipe you can make on the cheap, in a hurry, that all the kids will enjoy and is a breeze to clean up after. Well, I can dream, can't I? My mom had even more kids than I do. The only tradition I can remember is "you kids get out of the kitchen" It's a tradition I keep every night. Hey, just getting all the groceries to fit in the kitchen is a triumph. But I'm proud to say that my daughter has caught the cooking bug and is a good buddy in the kitchen. Set the oven on fire three years in a row on thanksgiving. Or wait- does that go under the triumphs column?
