Chris' favorite time of the weekend is Saturday morning, when he spends a few hours trying out new recipes and making a complete mess of the kitchen. (This is Nate's least favorite time of the weekend — he's the one who usually ends up cleaning up after Chris.)
Lately Chris has been on a roll, and here are a few of his latest efforts:
Above is oatmeal praline, which Chris made by baking oats and then pouring burnt sugar on top. This is just one of the ingredients for homemade oatmeal raisin ice-cream.
Above is homemade spinach pasta, which Chris made by blending cooked spinach with egg and flour.
But though Chris does
most of the cooking, occasionally Nate serves up a few of his favorites, too.

Here is a homemade pizza he made, with tomato sauce (a
lot of tomato sauce — Nate likes extra), mozzarella, onions and broccoli).
And here's Nate with his favorite vegetable, Brussels sprouts, still on the stalk. Nate likes these so much that we even have a photograph of a giant Brussels sprout on our living room wall.
