Saturday night I was in the kitchen making dinner when Matthew called from the family room, "Mom, what's for dinner?"
"Bean burritos," I replied.
Then I smiled in anticipation of the squeal I knew would be coming.
Matthew loves bean burritos and always has an enthusiastic response when I'm making them.
And, sure enough, he let out a happy howl-of-sorts. To which his friend must have given him a strange look because Matthew went on to say, "Besides taco dishes, bean burritos are the most amazing thing she makes."
At which point, I think the smile on my face grew two inches on each side.
I'm not sure why it is, but I always get happy when my kids like what I'm making for dinner.
And when they brag about it to their friends?
Bonus!
And I thought I would take it one step further and share it with all of you. Just follow this link. (BTW, I add a cup of cubed cooked chicken to the recipe. We love it that way!) You're welcome. *wink*

I agree...it is always gratifying when the folks you feed are enthusiastic about the food you prepare.
I need your recipes for the taco pizza, taco lasagna things that you made that Nick liked so much. Pretty please!
Leah - Kinda makes the time in the kitchen feel like you were earning a reward, doesn't it? :)
Kaira - I'll email them to you!
Ah, the sweet kisses of appreciation. :)
This brings back happy memories. Thanks for stopping over today. (& I love your header photo!)
Kathy - They are so sweet. Would love them on a daily basis. *wink*
It's nice to have you visit. :)
Lately, my boy has been so picky with dinner. It is so annoying when I spend time cooking a nice meal and he complains because he doesn't want to eat it. I really like when it isn't a battle to get him to eat. I am going to have to try these burritos you make, they sound yummy.***chera
Chera - I hope your boy likes the burritos! :)
