Ricky and Deanna just got a new dutch oven so they threw a
dutch oven party. We all met at the Cherry Creek State Park (in Denver, I
didn't even know it existed) to make different dutch oven dishes. There is a fire ban right now, so instead of
any open fire, we just started coals and did a complete dutch oven dinner. We
had fruit salad, macaroni salad and jello to go with our dutch oven rolls,
beans and sweet and sour chicken. We then had two dutch oven cakes for dessert
(cherry chocolate cobbler and a devils chocolate/fudge cake). The kids even made smores in tinfoil on the
coals
It was a beautiful day when we got there and then the
weather got a little gloomy and windy. The kids were cold so they spent most of
the time in Nana and Grandpa's car watching a movie. When they did venture out
into the cold they played by the lake, played bochi ball and ate the delicious food. The adults all battled the cold and had a fun time talking and
spending some quality family time together.
Because we are all participating in the 'Strength of Stones'
competition, the meal was healthy (except for the delicious desserts) and we
all were good and watching what we ate. It is great to have everyone working
towards the same goal, it makes staying healthy a little easier.
