Day Two hundred and seven

Cauliflower puree (three heads of cauliflower, which are now in the freezer. Once they're solid I'll pop these out of the tins and into a ziploc freezer bag. They'll go into rice, sauces, tacos, etc). The funniest part was when my younger daughter saw the puree in the colorful silicon muffin cups- she actually ate one with a spoon, as it apparently gave off a cupcake vibe.




Tilapia with asparagus, carrots, and orange slices (recipe: Parents mag). Each portion cooks in its own package of own parchment paper- it was cute enough to get the girls to the table so they could see what dinner was inside their "presents."



Dinner: Tilapia with asparagus, carrots, and orange slices; wild rice pilaf with cauliflower puree; cauliflower; and sliced apples and blueberries.

Day One hundred and forty-seven

Happy Birthday to my littlest one. She wanted an animal theme for her birthday this year, and I saw this cake in Parents magazine and saved the design so we could recreate it at home. We had a blast doing this together.



Vanilla buttermilk cake (recipe: Allrecipes.com)


Buttercream icing (recipe from my friend Sarah).

Dinner: A defrosted a jar of turkey chili I'd made a few weeks back. We (and the table) were so frosting-covered that I didn't even remember to take a picture. Oops.
