On the table...

...for Ella's day to cook:

Grilled Cheese-Tomato Soup

Pizza Snacks

Pretty Posy Cookies

(Not pictured: sliced bananas, pineapple, and strawberries)

Ella invited Grandpa and Grandma to join us for the meal, so that was a highlight. We were scrambling a bit at the end to have it all ready by the time they came, so I only ended up with a couple of photos.

Those cookies were a bit of work...

...but were very pretty and Ella's favorite thing to make


Lesson mommy learned: Only let Ella choose one or two recipes each time, not three!

Lesson Ella learned: When you're the cook, you don't get to drop everything and go outside to play.

  1. Hi Stacy!
    Girl, you SO inspire me! I'm having a hard enough time cooking in London myself, but when we get back, I am SO getting my kiddos a cookbook. What is that cookbook called btw? And tell Ella that the cookies are beautiful and look yummy.

    Hugs,
    Joni

  3. Oh, I don't know Stacy...stopping to play is sometimes good for your mental health...especially when trying to follow a recipe I find!
