Benefits of a large family

Benefit #42 – The lasagna assembly line.

How else can you efficiently cook three homemade gourmet meals for six?  With Rylee on meat sauce, Caleb on the noodles, and Kyler on the cheese – the Strovas clan was hard at work preparing a few delicious meals.  One will be cooked up tonight and the other two will be frozen for another day.  One of the things that we care about is giving our kids the opportunity to help out as much as they can around the house.  Now that the kids are getting a bit older, they are actually quite helpful.  Earlier today Rylee pulled a chair over to the sink and started to do dishes, just because.  Here they are in action:

Love the photos – great idea! I’m going to have an assembly line next time I make lasagne. (Uh, how did Kyler do spreading the cheese? 🙂 That is my least favorite part.)

OK, so that is way too cool. Just noticed the covers to your books on the sidebar. Now I want to get a few of them.

Yummy!!! 🙂 Looks like they enjoyed it. And its great that they are at the age where they can help out a lot more.

P.S I also had a lot of fun with them last night!
