COME SAY HI

How many times have you heard “hey let’s get t

How many times have you heard “hey let’s get together and do _______” and then nothing happens?
I remember figuring out that I hated it when people said that and then we don’t do it. I want to pick a date. If we are going to do something, then let’s do it!
My pal Natalia @sonoratortillas.yql and I had a conversation about making tamales a while ago. We planned a day and did it. Following through works easier when we pick a day. Right when it comes up, then out it into your calendar with a reminder. For me that’s one of the best ways to make sure that it actually happens.
So often it’s not that we don’t want to follow through, we just get sidetracked and move on in life. But these fun things together is how we build relationships.
It’s how we bond and make deeper connections.
I love gathering with food. Making it, eating it, sharing it. But it doesn’t have to be over food. You can get together while you play sports or swim or do some service.
The connection is what matters.
So thanks to @sonoratortillas.yql and @kelseyandy for coming over and spending time together with me making food and enjoying connection.

Pre and post bake focaccia. I added a variety of herbs and other toppings. This is my final recipe and I’m quite happy with it. That makes me happy.
So do the crispy salty oily edges of this bread. 😂

This summer feels weird. My big kids are off working, doing Online classes and being with friends. I’m left with two kids at home who want to go do things. What a weird transition. It’s the summer when my oldest is graduating and moving on to his mission but it’s a summer that feels so strange.
So today, we found some friends to take on our adventuring. It feels different.
Today we went to the cool @albertabirdsofpreycentre And it was awesome as usual.
Big kids and little kids makes a big spread sometimes. We still need to find fun and make memories.

There’s lots of new faces around here today thanks to the lovely Barb @sweetmacshop (and her overly generous words😉)
Welcome. (And if you’re not new…. Welcome 😂)
I like to give you a heads up for following along here.
1. I like food (All food really) and I like sharing it and talking about it. I’m writing a book right now and developing recipes for it. And hoping to be done soon. (Very soon)
2. I love my family a lot. I share about them and our lives sometimes.
3. I talk about Jesus cause I’m a big fan and often I relate lessons I find in my daily life.
4. I’m super random. 🤣 and I share goofy things (the second picture is a perfect example… all I could see when I was shooting they trail mix cookies was the dog or bunny face. 🤣 I hope you see it now too.
And I’m glad you’re here.
And if you want too, I’d love to share something with me about yourself!

A text I received from my kids:
“Hey mom, we’ve got an emergency”
Me: “oh no what’s wrong”
“The cookie jar is empty!!!! Send help!”

Pretty tragic affair around here apparently.
Last nights new recipe is a sour cream double chocolate chip. They are still nice and soft and very chocolatey.

I wasn’t feeling inspired in the kitchen until I just decided to make some stuff and just started combining, measuring while I went. Ended up with these cookies, a new favourite pizza dough and a different cookie idea that I’ll make today.

I overheard one of my kids telling a group of kids who were over eating some food “we’re doing my mom a favour by eating this food.” 😂
I’m not sure how I feel about that. I think I’m doing them a favour by making it for them. But I guess I do need people around to eat all my food as I come up with these recipes. I think we’re both doing each other a favour.
