Thx cooking Nana; but, I don't have to cook which is the best part. I'm just supervising the kids. I get to sit back and watch for once. But, thx.
I'll help out if needed; but, they are both great cooks. I'll enjoy a good movie on my laptop watching them, lol.

But, it is really enjoyable to see young kids cooking; and doing such a great job. They really put this whole party together on their own.

Ellie, looks wonderful. I love one pot dinners!!!

MORNING ... AND HAPPY SATURDAY! ANYONE HAVE ANY FUN WEEKEND PLANS?
It's Finally Fall in FL, Low 60's At Night, Upper 70's-80's During the Day - Love It!

Perfect time of year to enjoy a small fire pit at night. We don't have much of winter; so, we take what we can get, lol.

Today's Cooking ...
My friend's Luau Party. Although I'm not cooking; I am supervising or over seeing my catering friend's kids, who are doing the whole party.

But, for dinner, I will use up my leftover chicken from the other night and make chicken alfredo. Probably a small salad too.
My alfredo is just butter, parm and a little cream. Very simple.

Sounds like fun, KC.
Last night just old fashioned hot roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy over the whole thing.
Tonight I think it's leftover stuffed peppers.
