when i prepare food for you it means i love you!

"She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls." -Proverbs 31:15

One of the things families most appreciate is good food. Mothers, who prepare delicious food are often affirmed by their husband and children. I got the most hugs from my kids when they smelled something baking in the oven when they got home from school. - Moments for Mothers by Kimberly Snider

I wake up at4am to set up Larsen for school. I want to make sure that I prepare a good breakfast for him and for Alex. Just recently, i cooked tuna spaghetti with basil and crushed tomato, my own recipe. It was a success, i love the smell of the basil and my kids love it too. It's yummy and healthy.
