kids and food

  If you had never met me and had to completely sum me up by what I post on this blog, you'd surmise that I care about two things - taking pictures of my funny, cute children and food.  And yeah - that would be about right.  

We like to mix up our sports here - (inflatable) soccer balls functions well as a make-do basketball.  And he makes it the hoop more often than not!

Now this cake is downright purty if I don't say so myself.  My friend Amanda was going to be alone on her birthday with her husband out of town - and since that is practically illegal in my book - we definitely had to have her over for chicken enchiladas and birthday cake. 

Using the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake and frosting recipe on the back of the cocoa powder canister, I made this Black Forest Cake (as inspired by this Black Forest Cake).  In the middle a nice, thick layer of whip cream and cherries.  Perfection...if you love chocolate and cherries that is...which Amanda does.  

On the search for a great, reliable whole wheat pizza dough recipe (still searching), I had not made the original good 'ol standby pizza dough of months gone by.  Landon wants to start doing Pizza Fridays - I'll try not to take a picture every week of our pizza though. That could get old.

Yep, this is basically my life - - the boys and deciding what the next meal or fun treat will be.  But it's a yummy life.
