365: Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day

September 30 is Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day. Jude and I used the holiday as an opportunity to cook dinner together.

We used this recipe for our dinner. It's for ranch chicken with green beans and potatoes. Instead of using butter, we substituted for olive oil. Jude's part in the preparation process was to cut the potatoes.  I would cut the potatoes into slices, and Jude used his wavy chopper to cut the potatoes in half. It took a bit of modeling, but before long, Jude was starting to chop the potatoes on his own!

The meal was delicious. All three of us enjoyed it so much we went back for seconds! I would like to think that Jude enjoyed in more than normal because he got to take part in helping make it.
