Food for Thought

We love food! We love making it, we love eating it, we love playing with it. Here are some of our recent adventures with food.


Today we decided to take the girls out to lunch (thanks Stephanie for the gift card and excuse to go). We were going to go to Chili's but they were closed due to mechanical difficulties so we went across the street to On the Border. Their own drinks with straws and life size chips were a hit.

P.S. When we got to the restaurant we  realized Ellie didn't have any shoes on--she said she was so excited she went straight to the van and forgot to get shoes.  :)

We had a chocolate chip tasting on Monday to see which ones we liked better.  I think the girls had decided before the cookies were actually baked--they love eating dough and cookies and their chocolate faces were proof.

We got ice cream while shopping at Costco one evening.

I made 8 dozen cupcakes for Young Womens.  
My first time using fondant-they were pretty cute.
























Lila tried to make her own chicken cordon bleu with a chicken nugget and piece of lunch meat. (Notice her chocolate face from licking the bowls after I made all those cupcakes.

We bought 9 pounds of strawberries at the beginning of February and managed to eat all of them within the week.  What can I say my girls love strawberries.
Enjoying some fresh produce--strawberry and mango pit.




















  We had some friends over to roast hot dogs and make smores on our neighbors' fire pit.
