Kasey's screech

skillet cookie

On Thursday Kasey and I made Uncle Joey a birthday cake...
She is not the most helpful sous chef at this age because she grabs at everything and knocks stuff over...
goodbye lots of vanilla extract...

finished product - yum

We made a "Skillet Cookie Cake" which is super easy and fun. Plus you only dirty one pan - the skillet! We made the recipe from The Wicked Noodle blog but since I didn't have

toffee, I wish I did, I used butterscotch chips. It looked and smelled so good we had to eat some before getting it to Uncle Joey - woops...

girl eats toes...

 Have a good day!

Hospital visit and trying to crawl

Kasey's EKG and echo cardio gram went great here are some of our pictures while waiting...

We head back Wednesday to finish up and soon enough you will no longer see her hemangioma!

 She also is determined to crawl...so far she doesn't quite ...

Sweetest girl!

Off to Uncle Joey's Senior Game - Happy Saturday!

Hot Pink/Red (+ a little aqua)

I love Kasey's Hot pink bow-tutu outfit, thanks Ker!

Red superfood salad:

Red leaf lettuce

Handful halved red grapes

4-6 dried mission figs, halved

Handful blackberries, 6-8

Goat cheese, about 1oz, crumbled

Walnuts, 8-12

Dried cranberries, tablespoon or 2

Grapefruit segments and/or beets (optional)

Balsamic vinegar, drizzled

Olive oil, drizzled

Off to the hospital today to get some tests done for Kasey's medicine to heal her lip (hemangioma)!

A little of today's aqua outfits too

Have a good Friday!

rolling and a cup of coffee cake

Good morning!
Okay so I am trying to eat healthy - which is obviously back firing and so this morning I made
A cup of Coffee Cake -Microwave Coffee Cake for one!
It was delicious. I followed the recipe almost to a "t" - (only subbing a little almond meal and whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose)

 Kasey can move around like crazy on the floor - I think she may start crawling backward soon...we will see...

moving around...

wild woman

Have a nice day!

Camera DL, Perfect Granola, G. Mornin

I have become obsessed with granola and make it almost weekly. We made it again yesterday and I think I have perfected my granola so here is the recipe. Obviously everything is optional and can get changed up. I eat it like cereal for breakfast every day with Almond milk.
