Orzo Pasta and Roasted Potatoes with Avocado Crema

It was a weekend dinner, and we cooked as a family!ย  Kids like to take charge.. and so I let them ๐Ÿ™‚

I asked one of my son to cook Orzo pasta following the directions on the package, while I sauteed veggies for it.. and my other son made Chocolate Brownies for dessert, Ghirardelli ๐Ÿ™‚ย  Since the oven was going to be on, I made some Roasted Potatoes and Avocado Crema to go with it.

Kids were so excited, they set the table and wanted fancy plates! And loved the food “they” madeย
