Brownie mix cookies

I was debating between making brownies or cookies for our memorial day party and was kinda in the mood for shortcuts since I was making a few other things. So I decided brownies would be easier because TJ’s has a gluten free mix. But then! I never would have thought of this on my own but I happened to look at the bag and noticed a cookie recipe. Best of both worlds. I made tweaks, naturally. There wasn’t nearly enough liquid as per their recipe so I upped the water. I suspect any liquid would work though…. Read more >

My highlights: week 21

Hopefully P will be better at sharing than his parents. But seriously, I think the key to a happy marriage is separate dessert stashes. Don’t try to steal my chocolate! We went for a family hike to Avery Pond. We met up with a few other families and even though the hike started around P’s nap time, we coordinated the drive so he’d fall asleep on the way there.

Munchkin Mash-ups

Mr. P is all over the place with his appetite and cravings. I think that’s pretty typical for little ones. Some days I feel bad that he’s not getting very diverse meals, but he doesn’t seem to mind, so oh well. Similar to the problem that Lara mentioned, Patty-cakes doesn’t seem to like anything “assembled”. I make lots of allergy friendly meals for the 2 (3) of us, but he doesn’t want them in they’re completed form. Instead, he will often eat the ingredients separately (mise en place style as I prep). I think he dislikes the… Read more >

Nothing better

Even on the crazy overwhelming days, there’s nothing better. I love being a mom. And I’m so lucky to have an amazing role model to show me the ropes. Now those are some great looking genes. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mamas!
