Gonna Bake Mom a Cake

For G's birthday I shared the secret family cheesecake recipe with Lil' B.

"You want me to hit what with what?"

A toy hammer makes a great tool for preparing a graham cracker crust.

"All ready Dad!!!"

Blended to perfection

Just one more stir

Due to trade secrets that is all we can show. We will unveil the cake tomorrow night at G's birthday dinner.

...but if you must know it is a double chocolate blackberry cheesecake with a dark chocolate ganache frosting.

The Big Day Out

Today was the day of the Yo Gabba Gabba live show that we got tickets for a while back. We were kinda nervous on how B was going to handle an hour and a half live show.

From the time the show started he was enthralled.

Notice the glazed stare

Hometown Hero Mr. Bootsy Collins showed us how to do the peanut butter stomp.

The big balloon drop

and of course Biz Markie was there for the Beat of the Day

Baked Sweet Potato "fries"

We tried something different last week, using cookie cutters to make sweet potato shapes and baked them with a bit of cumin, salt and pepper.







Yummy!!!

If You Give a Moose a Muffin

Bennett has been in love with Laura Numeroff's book If You Give a Moose a Muffin. So, this morning we made muffins for his moose.






Needless to say, it was an awesome morning!
