Mother of a 6year old and two grown sons..what can I cook tonight that my daughter will also eat?? Sunday dinner and Birthday dinners. All special occasions are a great reason to cook. My family use to have big Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, the older we get the smaller they are becoming. Thanksgiving at my house a couple years ago was the best memory. I was a little nervous, but it turned out great. When I was pregnant the last time, I burned everything. I could not boil water.
