Cooking with a Newborn

Today is the first time that I've attempted to cook since having Thomas. We've been so blessed to have help from family and friends with lunches and dinners and grocery shopping that I haven't even thought about cooking. And honestly, I don't even remember the last time I cooked before Thomas' arrival! Karen spoiled us for a couple of months prior to Thomas' arrival by stocking our fridge and freezer on a weekly basis with homemade meals for the week... yes, totally spoiled! But today is my dad's birthday (Thomas says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA BEAR!") and I thought I'd try to make something for a celebratory dinner. Apparently this is the only way to cook when you have a newborn (at least in our household):


Don't worry, while he was strapped to me, I stayed away from anything hot and anything sharp!
