Day Number 64

If you remember Bella had her birthday party back on March 19th. I posted the pics Here.
  My mom had searched for some time for the perfect gift for her. I forget every time one of my kids hits 2 years old how hard it can be to shop for them at that age! 2 and 3 seem to be an inbetween age where they are too young or too old for the really cool gifts! Lucky for us Bella LOVES to play pretend.
   My mom had gotten her "Tinkerbell's Cafe" for Christmas. Since then we have enjoyed many  pretend meals of "Soup".  "Soup" consists of the plastic bread, carrot cake and wedge of cheese put into a bowl. All of which came with her Cafe. She puts it all in a bowl. Then Bella takes the ladle that came with her cafe and dips it into the "soup" and proceeds to shove the ladle into our mouths until we gag. She then giggles hysterically and claps her hands. YAY!
  So after mom searched and searched she found the CUTEST pertend food EVER! Would you like to see?
Of course you would!




Are they not gorgeous?!!?!?  It was unfortunate that they didn't quite make it in time for Bella's party but that wasn't anyone's fault. The mail got dropped off after Mom and family had left. Otherwise Bella would have been enjoying them sooner!
      Once we got past her initial trying to eat the felt food she really enjoys pretending to eat them. It's also much more comfortable while she's trying to force feed them to us. She even loves sharing them with her brother and sister! Miraculous! I think we need to stock up on more! I love looking at them as much as Bella loves playing with them!
 These felt foods are entirely hand made, and are made of recycled materials. I highly reccomend these to anyone who has a little one who likes to pretend. These keep Bella "cooking"  for hours.  They are colorful and very well made. They have so much detail. My personal favorite are the animal crackers! Growing up they were my favorite snack. I still buy them occasionally. Click to see proof!

Day Number 61

 YAY! Today is my birthday!!! As Jon said today is my 1st 29th Birthday!!!  We managed to sleep in until 10:30!! WOW. Our dog woke us up with her whining. Thats ok, I will take what I can get. We watched the last episode from season 1 of 24. Amazing. Then we went and picked up my business cards and headed over to my mom's where I discovered that She and Jon had conspired against me and threw a surprise feast. EVERYTHING was Dr Pepper! The brisket had Dr Pepper BBQ sauce that my mom made from scratch. The cake had Dr Pepper in it the cookies had Dr Pepper in it even the jello salad was Dr Pepper! AMAZING! I know it might sound odd. but it really was awesome! Every recipe was developed by my mom (Marye' Audet-White).  I can  still taste it!
 Pictures from my birthday party? OK!

My cake  was dr pepper with chocolate ganache filling!

Bella thought it was super yummy too! Can't you tell?

Day Number 18

 Superbowl Sunday! What an exciting day for most people. Me? I could care less about the game it's self.  For me Super Bowl Sunday is a time of good food and fellowship with good friends! A friend of mine is on a dairy free diet. So I wanted to be creative and come up with something snacky that she would be able to enjoy along with everyone else! I ended up with two dishes for her. A dessert which is the photo of the day and a chicken dish. Both went over well with all others there!
  Today's Photo is of my mini cake. Entirely dairy free.

Doesn't it look tasty? Yeah, it was awesome! Thanks for visiting!
I am posting the picture of the stuffed chicken on my Fan Page.
