Good Eating

This year I decided to stay in and make brunch for Father's Day. The menu consisted of Asparagus Tart, Mixed Green Salad with Crab Cake and Mango, Chicken and Apple Sausages and Eggs, Mixed Fruit and Mexican Chocolate Bread Pudding. Everything turned out delicious and enjoyed by all. I think I should do this more often.

It was also Lee's birthday this weekend and we celebrated with a simple dinner at home and a new dessert I found at Costco. They are 3 different flavored (orange-lemon delight, lemon-raspberry half and half, raspberry-mango parfait) mousses from Jessica Pastries. They are 35% cream pastries with jelly and fruit puree. They are very yummy and not too heavy and sweet.

We also went to Sunday Brunch at Il Terrazzo at the Phoenician. We had a great time and enjoyed every bite. We went with the 3-course menu as well as the breakfast buffet. Way too much food, but we took our time to enjoy it. I am proud to say that the kids behaved very well. Our friends were prepared and brought along a laptop to play movies after the kids were done eating. It worked great!

Summer is Here!

Summer is here and Ethan and Hayley have been enjoying the pool the last few weekends. Ethan also started his swimming lessons with the city of Chandler.

Breakfast Buddies

Now that Hayley is eating more and more solids - real food - she has been joining Ethan in the morning for some breakfast. Hayley is very good at sitting down and eating her breakfast, but Ethan is not so good. He has to be told many times to sit still and finish his breakfast! At least with Hayley next to him, it works like wonders as he loves to imitate her. So, I highly encourage breakfast time together.
