We’ve spent the last week recuperating from my 200 hour yoga training. We are working on uncovering lost piles of laundry, toys and gee, having a LIFE. Feels as if the house and everything in it has been on hold for the last three months. Excited to have found tomatoes blossoming, swiss chard to be readily available, and potatoes growing in my compost pile. My children and I have done a lot of nothing, but it’s been fun. I adore the Super Natural Cookbook by Heidi Swanson and so, decided to work my way back through it again and as always, my children are happy to participate in the process.
We made Creamy Wild Rice Soup and Homemade Powerbars. Unfortunately, if large chunks of ginger get in my youngests” mouth, he is pretty hilarious about spitting it out. Remember, Madagascar? That is my kid. Anyway, the soup was delicious with a Thai-coconut kind of flavor, mildly spicy and the powerbars are always massively addicting and yummy!
Here’s a few photos from our cooking event:
Yes, that is my five year old yielding a large serrated knife. He was given the butter knife but wasn’t having any success with it. So, while I am holding the camera, he went for it. They both know how to chop and peel garlic too! Maybe they will cook for me one day!
Oniony tears of joy.
What’s cooking with you this weekend?
