For the first few months after Elise was born, I hardly had any time to cook. I love cooking, and I love trying new recipes. It's my creative outlet. Now that Elise is taking naps in her crib (instead of on me) and learning to put herself to sleep (praise God!), Finley and I have a little time to do some cooking. Often cooking with Finley is just trying to keep him helping me instead of eating all the ingredients before I can get them combined and baked, but at least he's interested and trying new foods (like flour, haha).
Here was a little project last weekend when Nate was busy working...homemade whole wheat soft pretzels! They turned out pretty good for a first attempt and were a nice (and healthy) surprise snack for Nate when he got home. Doesn't it look rustic and yummy?
