COME SAY HI

5 things for this Monday. 1. I’m still playing

5 things for this Monday.
1. I’m still playing around with food photography and plain backgrounds. And I didn’t cut my cake very cleanly. 🤣 still tastes amazing. Recipe is from @cakebycourtney and called the twix cake.
2. Since we didn’t do spring sports for two years this year feels particularly full, even though I only have my kids in one thing, and it’s only three of them. It’s funny how much of life that whole pandemic affected.
3. We had a big family gathering on the weekend. And I have found I can’t think about capturing it with my camera or phone very well when I’m trying to host. I want everyone to feel welcomed & loved first. But I always wish I had photos the next day.
4. I took a break from writing my book and I want to get back into it. But it feels especially busy right now (see 2)
5. I don’t really think of myself as a cake lover. I’d always pick a tart or pastry. But the last few cakes I’ve made have been from @cakebycourtney and she might be turning me into a cake lover. If I’m going to eat something I want the calories to count. So it’d better taste good😉
Anything random you wanna share?

Long Weekend plans means family is over, so obviou

Long Weekend plans means family is over, so obviously we had to have a charcuterie board. Tasty cheeses from @wildbroscanada & @costcofindscanada
I made sourdough baguettes for the bread.
It’s an easy way to feed a group of people.

Got weekend plans?

Playing around with food photography. And I was literally giddy. 🤣 it’s my two favourite things. Food & photography.
Just a few shots of the girls cookies from yesterday and of course some tasty @albertamilk because they go together. Do you dip your cookies in milk?

“Hey mom, can I become a baker? Or a cook? Can you show me how?”
Obviously a big fat yes.

I told him to pick what he wanted to learn and he’d do it all himself. He picked waffles. At 10 that’s totally within their skill set. The trickiest part of waffles is separating the eggs. But he did it pretty much on his own.
And then he ran around the house getting everyone in the family to come eat a waffle “cause I made them myself!”
Kids learning skills in the kitchen is such a good way to help them gain confidence.
Easy things to start with for kids 8-12:
waffles, scrambled eggs, chocolate chip cookies, muffins, tuna melts, pancakes, nachos, space, beef stroganoff.
Do you let your kids help in the kitchen? Or does that stress you out?
Anything your kids can make on their own?

Dinner club was tonight. I always get lots of questions when I share about it. So I shared some more in my stories tonight about it.
We rotate themes and homes. The host picks the theme and cooks the main. Everything else rotates too.
We’ve been doing dinner club for many years and it’s always fun. Good friends and tasty food. It’s a consistent gathering that blesses our lives.
If you don’t want to make fancy food, you could do a dinner club where you get take out. Or try new restaurants.
We all happen to love cooking so we do it. Usually over the top. It’s what works for our group.
If you wanna be in one, start it. If you need to, adapt it. It’s tons of fun and worth it. ❤️

This is the galaktoboureko I made for dessert. A Greek custard pie thing.
