Scott makes Spagetti

Scott started cub scouts about a month ago and one of the requirements for Wolf is to choose an evening where he gets to set the table, plan and prepare a healthy dinner and do the dishes afterward. It was like my birthday or Mother's Day. All I had to do was take pictures.

I thought spagetti would be an easy meal for an 8-year-old.

This is Scott's first time draining the noodles himself. My camera is in one hand and the other hand is ready to help if he needs it.

Mmmm, the meat. Scott is cooking up what our family calls Italian Caribou. Ground caribou with italian sausage seasoning and no extra fat added.

He adds the sauce. He has learned to use the can opener that opens the can without leaving sharp edges.

He adds the caibou.

Look at that smile. He is very proud of himself. My husband and I thought it was the best spagetti we have ever had.

The vegetables were a delicious toss-the-bag-in-the-microwave variety. It is a mix of yellow corn, white corn, carrots and asparagus.
