Another Hit!

Well Aunt Rachel you are two for two now. The first book you got Eva (Pinkalicious) was such a good book and we both enjoyed reading it often. Now this cook book is a hit too! I mean what little girl wouldn't love a Princess recipe book? All the meals have fun Disney themed names like "Fairy Godmother Wands" for the french toast sticks etc. I thought I would share with all of you some of the things we have made.
First is Castle Calzones ( as in the Beast's Castle)
It is pizza dough folded over with ham, cheese and veggies cooked into it. It was pretty good and a really good kid and husband friendly meal.

Next and one of me and Eva's favorites is the Get Your Work Done Smoothies. (picture is of Cinderella's Stepmother)

I think Eva mostly liked using the blender.

But the smoothies tasted really good too. It had bananas, strawberries, blackberries, vanilla yogurt and milk. A really good, healthy snack.

Last is the I'm Soooo Sleepy Soup. (with a picture of Sleepy from Snow White)


It is Chicken noodle soup made with elbow macaroni. It has the usual chicken and veggies but it is easy to make and other hit with Greg and the girls.


So thank you Aunt Rachel for such a fun cook book. Eva and I are having lots of fun making all these Disney themed meals. My goal this week is to make the Sandy Scoops (sandy as in a sandy beach like in little Mermaid, cute right?) It's cinnamon tortillas with applesauce as dip. Sounds yummy to me. :)

PINKALICIOUS

Well I can't remember who gave Eva this book for Christmas, I think it was either my Mom or my Aunt Rachel....anyways it has become Eva's favorite bedtime book. Every night I say, "what book do you want me to read you?" Eva always replies, "PINKALICIOUS!" It's a really cute story about a little girl that makes PINK cupcakes with her mom and eats so many of them that she turns PINK. I think that is Eva's dream, she just loves anything PINK. So I figured Eva would like to make some PINK cupcakes too. As you can tell she couldn't resist and started eating the mix when it was still in powder form.

And of course I had to let her lick the beaters, isn't that the best part? And I love Layla in the background falling out of her bouncer.
Layla: "Hello.....somebody help me over here."
Eva: "Not now you little baby. I'm licking a beater."

After that I put Layla to bed so Eva and I could finish our cupcakes. Poor Layla she has to miss out on all the fun right now. Although if I could I would crawl into her crib with her and take a nap. Oh a nap sounds so good right now.


So back to the cupcakes. Eva wasn't really interested in frosting them. I did one and she decided she would rather eat it then help with the rest. But that's okay, I think she would of made a big mess with all that PINK frosting.

Luckily Eva wasn't disappointed that she didn't turn PINK after eating her cupcake. Although I think it would be kinda fun to have Eva be PINK for a day. To have "PINKTAILS" instead of pigtails, to wear a PINK dress and a PINK crown and twirl around in all her PINK glory. Yes life really would be PINKALICIOUS.
