Garlic salt, dash
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
Optional–1/2 cup thinly sliced red peppers and or 1/4 cup shredded carrot

Happy Eating…
I love when boys learn to cook. I truly believe it makes them better eaters when they see what goes into it and better cooks to learn about what goes well together and ultimately better husbands because they will appreciate their wives cooking efforts more and won’t be able to jump in and help out when they have families which will ultimately lead to their own children learning by example.
I think it is great that he not only took the class in the first place, but also decided to cook at home for you.
I love it when my 11 y/o boy cooks his own lunches or breakfasts. The only time he cooks for the whole family is when he smokes racks of ribs, but then he doesn’t do any sides, it’s just the main dish.
Isn’t it nice when our boys are able to pitch in and make a meal once in awhile?! Looks like he did a great job 🙂
