Cooking
The other night, as we were getting ready to start cooking, Alex came running into the kitchen...carrying a cookbook...saying 'I know what I can have for dinner'.
When asked, he said 'we can mix up flour and things and then cook them and add blueberries'.
Um...so, you want to make blueberry pancakes? Sure, why not?
With the aid of Mollie Katzen's Pretend Soup, we measured, poured, and mixed up a very light batter. I took over for the 'hot' stuff while Alex counted out the appropriate number of berries.
He was, of course, quite tickled to be eating something he helped make.
And I? I had to smile. I was thinking how, at just 5, girls are already fighting over him. I mean, literally fighting over him. Friends in tears because they both like him.
Thinking he's good-looking, charming, kind, friendly, and oh yeah...he can cook.
I'm going to spend the next dozen or so years beating them off with a stick, aren't I?

- Someone's In The Kitchen With Alex: Breakfast Muffins
I guess I've always had an interest in food, and cooking. I just didn't realize it until I was in my teens, and practically had to beg my parents to let me make dinner. Unlike many of my food blogging friends, I don't have stories to share...
- Clinging To Summer
Strawberry Pancakes The past few summers, whenever we found a good deal on berries (of just about any kind), we made sure to grab lots. Mostly because Alex can inhale an entire carton of (fill in the blank)berries in one sitting, but also because I like...

Breakfast always has been...and always will be...my favorite meal of the day. I love breakfast foods. Growing up, it never crossed my mind that it was odd to have breakfast foods for dinner. And we did. Buckwheat pancakes, sausage, eggs. It seemed perfectly...
