Where the Wild Things Are – Max’s dinner
This week is National Library Week! Since my mom and a lot of my friends are librarians – visiting libraries is near and dear to my heart. I have fond memories of summer reading in the library. I also remember checking out a lot of art books and cookbooks as a kid. Hmm…interesting. Go to your local library and read with your kids today!
Every night while I cook dinner the kids pick out books to read and somehow the books they choose always revolve around…food! What can I say, I have two little foodies. One night the Baby chose Where the Wild Things Are
If you remember in the end of the book when Max comes back to his bedroom, a hot dinner is waiting for him. We read the book and talked about Max coming home after his long trip and the Baby decided that Max’s dinner was obviously a warm bowl of soup with MEAT in it (the Baby’s fave) and a nice BIG piece of yummy yellow cake. That’s some dinner.
The Baby asked me to make my version of Max’s dinner, so here you go:
Roast Pork Stew (recipe, here)
Mascarpone Poundcake (recipe, here)
A glass of milk
A nice meal to come home to at the end of a long journey…or day at school.
Let the wild rumpus begin!
