This week, a lot of our meals were no stove and one pot, as the weather was very warm. We have also got into salads! There are so many types of salad at Costco, that actually are reasonably priced, so we have been trying them all out. It’s just better to have a non-cooked vegetable when it’s warming, especially as everyone’s hunger levels change.

This week, we brought back some summertime favorites and tired some new twists on old favorites too. We eat a lot of tacos and chicken burgers, but dived into two new ways to make them! We also had some time this week for both Amelia and Kai to help make dinner, as both of them asked, which is always a fun experience. Taking the time to teach your children to cook delicious food, especially at their age, is such an important task and one I find a lot of joy in doing!

[Ad- gifted product] I do not consider myself a baker, but I am a good cook! We often do a lot of cooking as a family, especially as all three of our children love helping out in the kitchen. When it comes to baking, however, I tend to my two homemade muffin recipes, my one cake recipe, and then trying out box mixes. I came across Wright’s Baking Orange Cake Mix, which came out far better than expected, so I was excited to try the Wright’s Baking Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia Bread Mix. If you don’t know, Focaccia is often quite challenging to make, especially as the dough often needs to rest over night, but this pre-made mix actually said it only needed to rest three times, at 15 minutes each.

Costco is so well known in America, and seems to have just grown in popularity with haul culture and Tiktoks! As an American who has never been to the American Costco, I have always been curious if it would really live up to the hype in the United Kingdom. We’ve got a few friends that go to Costco regularly, but haven’t had the chance to go ourselves, until one evening Dann decided to look it up (possibly due to them selling my absolute favorite American fruit snacks), and realize he qualified for Trade Member due to his job. We then got Trade cards and decided to check out this massive shop. We’ve been going for a few months now, and often only pick up one or two things (along with those legendary free samples, which you can see me enjoying on Reels – yes we have samples in the United Kingdom), and have quickly picked up a bunch of favorites.
This week has been a mix of light dinners and quick dinners, along with a lot of cooking from Dann! Being back to school, after Easter Break, always comes with some hiccups, and having meals that are much faster to make is just what’s best for our family as we go back to the routine of getting up early and being back at clubs. I am so looking forward to the slower paced summer that is right around the corner.
