Bon Appétit

Hello again! Dory here!


Just wanted to update the ol' blog on what's happening here in my world. Here I am, up in my big girl high chair. Look, it's a chair and there's a tray with those little orange things on it... This is pretty cool right?


Mama! Hey, how are you? What? What's that?


Sweet potato, huh? Well, OK, if you say so...


This is... this is...


You tricked me!


I'll catch you later, blog-land. No way is she catching me with that one again!

Good Eatin'

In the spirit of adventure, meals around the Mojo household are a little different than usual.  Inspired by Simple Abundance and Matthew being home to keep track of Little One, I've been on a new recipes jag.

First we tried Rachael Ray's "Beef Horseradish Strudel," exciting because it dealt with puff pastry, something I've normally considered too fiddly to fool with.  


Gorgeous I think, but My God! that's a lot of food. We still have an entire loaf of meat-pie in the fridge. Hungry anyone?

Next on the menu was Peppercorn Pork with Parmesan Smashed Potatoes from Ellie Krieger's The Food You Crave.  Yesterday we made Ellie's Pumpkin Muffins for breakfast:


and for dinner last night, Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs and Spicy Tomato Sauce. Healthy and yummy!

The reviews of all the new cooking have been favorable.  Even the turkey meatballs earned high accolades from Matthew, the ultimate carnivore.  I humbly took my praise and assured him it had more to do with the team of sous chefs I had helping.




I think all good cooks would agree, you're only as good as the babies chewing on ladles and dogs licking the floor in your kitchen.
