Today my little brother and I had a sudden strike of inspiration and decided that we wanted to cook the family dinner tonight. We found self-rising rolls in the freezer while scavenging things for lunch, so we put those out because they're delicious. Then, whilst eating lunch, we thought that we should just cook dinner for everyone.
We rummaged through the house to look for things to cook. We found chicken breasts and various chips, so we decided on chip crusted chicken chunks (which can be found easily with a simple Google search). We've made these before, and they were amazing, so we thought why not do it again. We set the chicken out to thaw for a few hours and got our plans for dinner ready.
We had lots of fun making dinner together. We ended up making three flavors of the chip crusted chicken chunks: Fritos, Sour Cream and Onion, and Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos. We also had leftover chicken breasts since we over calculated how much chicken we would need, so we put a little bit of seasoning on them and started grilling them on the stove top. Meanwhile, we were also cooking pasta, the rolls we found earlier, green beans, iceberg lettuce salad, and a fruit salad.
Cooking dinner together was filled with laughs and everything tasted delicious, if I do say so myself. It was also a great way to give back to my family. Mom didn't have to worry about finding something to make, and we even did the dishes after. It was a really good time.
I encourage you to make dinner for your family once soon. It's so rewarding, and you won't regret it. But also make sure to offer to do the dishes after as well, no matter how much you hate doing them.

I hope that my little brother and I will make dinner for the family again soon- it was a ton of fun and a really rewarding experience.
