Macaroni and Cheese
So, Grace likes things that involve cheese, so today we made macaroni and cheese. The recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, to be specific. It involves making a roux and such. I've really only ever made mac and cheese from a box, so this is obviously a lot more involved. It was kind of fun to make, though, since I'd never done it ( Read more... ) -
What's the opposite of "crunchy"?

Cake or Death? Cake!
We've got a pretty good yogurt for breakfast, fruit for lunch thing going. Dinner is basically whatever veggies we're having (tonight it was roasted potato, carrot and broccoli). She's totally fine having multiple chunks in front of her at lunch, but at dinner she just shoves them all in her mouth at once. Crazy baby ( Read more... ) -
Same old...
Yesterday was more of the same, yogurt for breakfast, peach for lunch, grilled veggies and potato for dinner. She's a hamster sometimes, putting a bunch of chunks of food in her mouth all at once and giving us heart attacks ( Read more... )
