Celebrating Another Birthday

We celebrated Jr.'s birthday in August.

Because Jr. likes cooking and he likes French, he got a French cooking book and a crepe pan.

Because he also likes video games, Lucky made him a Paper Mario sculpture.

Bamboo, Not Just for Cooking Anymore

We recently got this bamboo set. I wasn't sure what all the pieces were supposed to be used for in cooking so I asked my mom and sisters. They helped to give me some suggestions.

My family also helped me with suggestions. We came up with some other uses, not all to do with cooking.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been wanting to try a cookie recipe that my sister-in-law-in-law shared on her blog, two hands, but we ran out of peanut butter and when we got more we ran out of chocolate chips and when we got more we ran out of peanut butter again. Etc. etc. etc. Well, last night Jeremy picked up a new container of peanut butter, so while he and Nichole went on a field trip to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point today, Jr. and I had a chance to make these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yumm yumm.

Rae let me know they take about 10-15 minutes in the oven (depending on the oven). And they are easy and great to do with kids.

I love bonding time with my son.

The KAT's Meow- Mommy's Cooking

Nichole: What's in there?
Daddy: That's salt.
Nichole: Oh, you put it on the French Bread and it makes fire on it?
