noah cooked dinner... star wars theme...

i got this cookbook for CHRISTmas... very cool since i grew up an avid star wars fan... we have looked through it many times but hadnt made anything out of it... until tonight...













noah decided to make dinner for the family... and he is a huge fettuccine fan.... so he picked boba fett-uccine... and it was awesome... fettuccine alfredo with cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini...












noah did all the prep... cutting the vegetables... cooking the noodles... stirring the sauce... he had a lot of fun... and it was delicious...
abby made dessert... bossk brownies... also very good... this was a fun evening and i cant wait to have them cook again sometime soon...
