This little sweetie baked an apple pie with me and both kids have been eating it alllll up.
I guess it’s more of a cobbler (and it looks red because we used red palm oil in the crust), but the kids are calling it pie, so PIE IT IS.
Look at her all fresh and clean from in her jammies…dessert is a recent phenom in our casa and they are big fans. We eat dinner on the early side and yet their bedtimes are getting later…I have a feeling we are going to need to readjust our schedules I just don’t quite know how. She still naps on most days, which means she is not remotely tired when I’m ready for her to be tired, but I’m definitely not ready to lose her nap entirely. P does great with “quiet time” but she hasn’t really worked it out yet. This is me thinking out loud. I suspect the answer that I’m not wanting to admit is eating a later dinner. But – if I’m being perfectly honest with you here – there is a very selfish reason I don’t want to do that. Which is the loss of MY CHOCOLATE TIME. A later dinner would eliminate it. There’s just not enough room with all the other stuff that needs to happen after we eat (I’m talking baths and books and bedtime routines…not to mention going in the hot tub and watching tv with my husband). It’s probably (obviously) a healthier change for me, but the fact of the matter is, I love chocolate. Soooooo, do I prioritize it over all else??? I think I know the answer…
Looky looky, a beautiful loaf of gingerbread made by my sister’s mother in law!! She is TOO much you guys. She made us two loaves and they lasted two days. I probably should have hoarded her delicious dairy and gluten free goodies to myself, but I was in a nice mood and thus, two breakfasts came and went, and poof the loaves were finito.
I also for got to share this divine cream cheese that my mom let me steal. She was going to make a cheesecake with it, but then ended up making a cobbler instead, so I got the unused kite hill cream cheese.
It’s awesome. I love kite hill products. The cream cheese goes perfectly with smoked salmon and crackers. Snack plate of dreams.
It also works well making a cheesy sauce on sayyyyy spaghetti squash noodles.
I’m 100% on team spaghetti squash. Squash noodles beat out pasta noodles any and all days of the week and most people probably disagree with me on that, but my unpopular opinion is mine. Just like my unabashed love for kale, I am fine with being a cliche food blogger who promotes vegetables over all else. I will eat kale every day if I want to and I will top squash with home-made walnut basil pesto and almond based “cheese” because that’s what makes me happy.
Yummmmmy.
I did mix Kyle’s with some wheat noodles though, for the record. And gave the kids extra kale. 😛
And because we ate early, guess what I did a couple of hours later??
A chocolate face plant, of course.
How about chocolate during TV time? Where there’s a will there’s a way!
WHERE THERES A WILL THERES A WAY.
You speak the truth tracy. 🙂
