Lately, I'm big on snacks, little meals, and eating several times a day.
Try this: whole grain crackers, thinly sliced pears (ours were red anjou), and blue cheese (all that was available at my grocery store was crumbled...I would have preferred a block that I could slice). And, if I were allowed...and tasty sip of white wine.
Yum.
It has been a bit drab around here. They skies are grey, the fog is dense, and the sun slips behind the mountains at 3:30pm. With all of our Christmas decorations packed away- we needed some color.
Enter: rainbow wraps.
red= apples orange= mandarin oranges yellow=pineapple green=kiwi blue=blueberries
We had some left-over raspberry sauce from our holiday cheesecake, so we drizzled that on top.
I think that they would be tasty with some garlic/dill tofutti and veggies as well.
Donut day. Lovely friends, lovely confections.
Kneading.
Rolling.
Cutting.
Assembling.
Cooking.
Best of all...eating.
We also made these lovely corn husk dolls.
I bought the corn husks from the grocery store. I found them in the Hispanic foods section. They had to be soaked in water overnight to make them more pliable. I think these are wonderful. So simple and sweet. The girls actually played with these all afternoon. Instructions here.
It was good to put our pencils down for a day and work with our hands.
