Basil Apple Cucumber Juice
My brother and I made this juice last week.
It's a great juice if you are on a cleanse! Your taste buds will be awakened and your tummy will be satisfied. The basil in the juice adds a nice depth to the sweetness of the apple and cucumber. It makes it more of a grown-up drink in my opinion. Continue reading→
Spinach Feta Pocket Pies
Awhile back I made these Chicken Pocket Pies and they were fabulous. The dough worked out perfectly, angels sang, and we left nothing but pie dust in the kitchen. Remember?
I've been "trying" to bring spinach back into Cooper's diet so I thought these Spinach Feta Pocket Pies might do the trick! Plus this momma loves spanakopita, and these are pretty similar (except they're made with cream cheese pastry instead of phillo dough).
I whipped up the pastry dough the night before using light cream cheese instead of full fat. I am soo happy to report that it tastes just fine! A bullet has been dodged, people. We can have a tasty lower fat pie crust and eat it too!
The spinach pockets were super. I was delighted every time I got a chunk of feta in a bite. Next time I am going to add a little more cheese to the filling. Oh man do I love feta! The pies totally satisfied my spanakopita cravings!
A sweet 16 months
Cooper turned 16 months old yesterday.
A sweet 16...although he was Mr. Grumps. All 4 canines are coming in at once.
The words he says:
Car, dada, shoes, ball, hat, cat, cracker, please, pretty, cracker, bread, dis & dat (this and that)
They don't sound exactly how they are supposed to...we still find it super adorable.
He has said mama a few times...but prefers to call both Casey and I "dada."
He LOOOVES watching cars outside. Seeing the garbage truck makes his day.
Corn Fritters
Flashback!!
Three years ago, I spied this recipe in an issue of a Rachael Ray magazine.
Dick Clark's Corn Fritters.
Whoa! He made them for his family every year on NYE before he went to the Times-Square Studio.
Isn't that super sweet and cute?
