The Janis Restaurant

Our house is a restaurant. Since Spencer returned from BYU-I, he has taken over the food department for him and Taylor. They have set body building goals and are working hard to acheive them. Spencer gets a portion of the weekly food budget, plans the meals, buys the food and makes the meals for himself and Taylor. For Christmas Spencer got a book he asked for called Muscle Chow. He has made many recipes from it including a very delicious homemade granola. Another recipe was Bison Burgers. Here he is modeling himself with the freshly made bison burgers and an apron Grandma Janis gave Sr. D for Christmas. Spencer loves the apron!:D And here is a beautiful grilled chicken salad.
Emily has also changed her eating and for about 5 weeks (with a week lapse) has eaten almost completely raw foods. Here she is with a salad she made herself that she ate for two consecutive dinners.

She is also doing a cooking class with a good friend from church who is homeschooling and wants to learn to cook healthy. So one day we made, among other things, a raw chocolate mousse pie. The crust is made of walnuts, unsweetened coconut, dates and a pinch of salt. The filling is made with dates, maple syrup, a few drops of vanilla, avocado, cocoa and water. This is topped with sliced strawberries and is a very rich, sweet, chocolate dessert.

So, many evenings when we sit down to dinner, there are three different meals.
