Savoring September: Bear Behind the Lens

Saturday morning breakfasts are a tradition in our home, one of the many ways we love to start our weekend. I love making creative pancakes and scrambled egg combinations, and today was my first Saturday back in the kitchen in a month and a half. We all chipped in to get food (and coffee!) ready and on the table while sweet Bear followed us around with the camera, capturing what was important to him.

Life.

And living.

Here are some of my favs:

Baking with Bella (Butterfly) and Bear

We’re at it again… baking together. Only Bear wanted in on the action, and Bella had transformed into a butterfly this time, which by the way is what she wants to be when she grows up. Either a butterfly or a dolphin.

This post is much more about the children than the process, because, well, I just find them so stinkin’ cute!

I give you… a Butterfly and a Bear Baking Grasshopper Brownies:

Once the brownies were made and the beaters licked, these two delights sat for almost the full baking time watching it cook. They make me laugh so much.

Baking with Bella (Ballerina)

One of my passions is food.

I love reading cookbooks and trying new recipes. I love shopping for said recipes and teaching my children the art of procuring good foods. I love setting a nice table and creating warmth in my dining room. I love fashioning my monthly meal plan and figuring out how to stretch leftovers to make scrumptious suppers.

I love anything to do with food really. Even organizing my refrigerator and pantry fill me with peace.

I guess when you study health and nutrition in college it stays in your blood.
