Look Out Bobby Flay!

Saturday morning was very busy - for Sara and Hannah. They both had group violin lessons and then Steve Nash basketball. (No, he is not actually there. That is a FAQ though!) Parker and Matt were supposed to have First Aid training but it got cancelled...or so we thought...another story for another time. So, they had their friend Jett Stef from Stirling stay the night on friday after Fantastic Friday. They of course stayed up sort of late and hence slept in the next morning. So, as the girls and mom and dad headed out the door going separate directions, they were quickly given their Saturday job list, instructions to be good and not burn down the house. Mom, Dad, Sara and Hannah ran out the door.
All lessons ended around two and everyone planned to meet at home. Dad and Mom were somewhat famished as they had both run in the morning and then promptly left to shuttle kids without much breakfast. You would not believe the sight they saw when they entered the house. First of all, it was clean. Shock number one. Next, Matt greeted us in an apron. Shock number 2. It smelled delicious! Shock number 3. The table was set beautifully - including elegantly folded napkins. Shock number 4!
We were instructed to sit at the table and not lift the tinfoil off the pan that they placed in front of us. It was then that we noticed all three boys were wearing aprons - and large grins.
It was at this point that Sara turned to Jett and asked what he had done with her brothers.
After Hannah blessed the food - including an
extra plea that it would not harm our bodies in any way-the tin foil was removed unveiling this:












It was sooo good!
It was a taco casserole made from our ward cook book - with a few substitutions. All substitutions worked well though and we gobbled it down quickly!
So, look out Bobby Flay! The Stewart/Stef team are making a good showing!
